You're viewing a single thread.
Does anyone actually use either of those though? It's always been more easy and convenient for me to just use my own phone.
Android auto IS using your own phone.
A crippled version of my phone.
What exactly are you doing on your phone while driving besides listening to music and/or using maps?
Typing in maps addresses that are too complex for the voice recognition to understand.
You should still be able to do that on the car touchscreen just like the old Tom Tom etc…
They also forget that sometimes there is a passenger wanting to do this, it’s not always just the driver in the car.
If there's a passenger, at least in my car, the system recognizes it and let's one type with the touchscreen.
You can type in addresses into your phone while attached to an AA head unit now and it'll navigate on the touchscreen. They added that a while back. Also search and the keyboard works fine on the head unit too with aftermarket units. I don't know about factory ones, but mine all have the parking brake sense shorted to the case to make it think it's in park all the time and thus not crippled.
Listening to YouTube, playing music from my sd card. Changing routing instructions. Adding stops along the way. Avoiding highways, allowing highways. Asking what the exchange rate between the euro abd the dollar is. Asking if European chickens are smaller than American chickens. (And probably other things)
