- mook 2y agoYou probably want a car with Android Auto instead of Android Automotive. Yep, it's totally dumb that those are two separate things with very similar names. The former is a CarPlay equivalent, where your phone projects a screen. The latter is logging into Google directly from the car independent of your phone.
- scarface_74 2y agoUghh I knew the difference and it still auto completed “Android Automative”
- ashildr 2y agoToo bad if the DRM-server that knows that you paid for Apple CarPlay/Google Auto is turned off…
- dzhiurgis 2y agoApple's eventual stop of supporting CarPlay is guaranteed. Tesla going bankwupt - much less so.
- scarface_74 2y agoCarPlay is basically just a second screen for iOS. If you have a first gen iPad from 2010, it still works with modern AirPlay and AirPrint devices. If you have a car that supports the old iPod protocol where you can see what’s playing and change the “song”, it will still support modern music and podcast playing apps on iOS devices.
- dzhiurgis 2y ago> If you have a car that supports the old iPod protocol I've actually tried that few weeks ago and it didn't work. Car was from 2008 or so.
