Well, I or anybody else would be a fool to try to guess what support will be like in two years' time. In the end, it's your money, and only you can be responsible for the risks you take with it. One reason for the price cut has got to be that the Car Player is worth less in the knowledge that its supported life is limited. (No, I didn't say "worthless"!)

That said, you could do a lot worse than experience the kind of product that inspires such a strong community and will probably never again be available in car audio. I've had mine for 2½ months and have absolutely no regrets, even at the previous price - though with the EOL announcement, I'm extra paranoid about theft and accidental damage.

So the question is, what's your attitude to risk? Like buying shares, you can really play it safe, but if you do so, your potential gains are limited as well as your potential losses.
