Yes, I'm about 10 minutes south of Santa Cruz, California. Appreciated the 
change of pace down here - we joked that it can take some time to drive 
cross-town because of all of the 4-way stops - everyone wants to wave the 
other person on through the intersection. "No, you go on ahead..."

If you're anywhere near handy, there are some cheap Android head units that 
look interesting. If your older car doesn't have steering wheel controls, 
it's even easier - 2 wires per speaker, power and ground. Antennas usually 
have the same coax socket. Might even get Bluetooth handsfree out of it, 
too.

Although, for a good part of my commute I used one of those cassette 
adapters that play through the headphone port and a bluetooth headset with 
noise cancelling - people couldn't tell I was in a car most of the time.
