Why would you want an infotainment system in your car? I don't get it. All I want when I'm driving is navigation and music/podcast, and I can just use my phone for both
Guess what device Apple CarPlay uses for all its features.
So then why bother with a weird built-in system? Just stick your phone somewhere and you're good
It’s only weird because it’s not CarPlay or Android Auto. As soon as you have one of those it suddenly becomes nice and useful.
Then it’s a nice big touch screen that has everything you need from your phone.
It lets your phone use the larger screen for satnav. It also reconfigures it to a better setup for driving (bigger buttons and reduced complexity). This also means your phone doesn't need to be sat in the sun, with its screen lit up for a couple of hours, and so overheating.
My phone no longer even leaves my pocket. It wirelessly links to the entertainment system.
Why would I take out my phone instead of using the bigger screen built into my car?
You're supposed to be watching the road mate, not some screen
Why are you pulling out your phone to change songs then?
