   I just double checked as a new customer - you're right that it's 60 usd/m but it goes down to 50/m if you autopay using a debit card (strange Verizon artifact - but annoying). Edit: I've been a customer for a year a

    I was able to add android auto/carplay to my old car by installing an aftermarket pioneer head unit with this functionality. The nice thing about older cars is that such replacement is possible and relatively easy.
