There is just no way I would purchase a vehicle that doesn’t have CarPlay or android auto. I suspect many of these automakers are about to find out the hard way. Yes it’s just for music and navigation but those are big enough use cases.
- SamInTheShell 1y agoRight there with you on this. These car companies would just be better served ripping out their telemetry stacks and just providing a screen that only supports a phone driving it. I pulled the jumper for the telemetry stacks in my last two cars and I’m going to do so in my next car. They don’t get to sell me a car that then tracks and reports my habits to my insurance without paying me to do so on an opt in only basis.
- devilbunny 1y agoI'm entirely on board with this - and I'm driving a 2001-model car at least partly because of it (my other goal is that my state has antique tags that you buy once and never pay for again - when the car is 25 years old). But what can you buy in the US that doesn't cripple the car (well, at least the entertainment system) in the process?
