The real reason automakers are ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
TLDR: Automakers want a piece of the data harvesting pie. But don't worry they assure us it's just to improve their products. You know, like the infotainment they're building, that they wouldn't need to build if they kept phone integration.

I got this great clip:
and the MagSafe iPhone mount that screws into it.
No need for the infotainment screen. Just Bluetooth audio for music.
They have a generic/Android version, too. The clip can be used with either.
There are others, but I got mine from
proclipusa.comThey’re not cheap, but they’re a step up from the suction cups or vent clips. The ends tuck into the gaps between sections of your dash. Some cars lend themselves to the clips better than others.
And I need 12" android version
No Android auto no purchase. Pretty simple. Good luck Chevy 👍
I fucking hate cars
Not me. But I hate car makers.
Big business in the imperial yankee core killed trains for the world made for the car and not the human. Yankees used to have so much rail.
I for one applaud the automakers for their bravery in harvesting our data themselves in order to improve our products!
It's 100% selfish interests and 0% user interests.
I just 3D printed a phone holder that slots into a CD player (yeah I have that old car). So now that I have a phone there it looks like it's an infotainment screen. Plus it's silky smooth unlike slow ass infotainment systems. Powered by AIMP player and HERE WeGo maps.
fuck android auto. i don't want to have to use my phone for my car infotainment to work
So what they're doing is a good thing, is that what you're saying?
no. i just want my car to have it's own working infotainment system and i am myself against android auto or to have to rely on that. would there be an open standard for an open infotainment system that would be something else. in my case i also trust the manufacturer more than google. so i am against "they should stop making infotainment systems we have AA and CarPlay"
No but yes?
no thanks no need for google shit in my car it works by itself
