The real reason automakers are ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (www.motortrend.com)

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.

I need the android version.

They have a generic/Android version, too. The clip can be used with either.

Where do you get the clip

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There are others, but I got mine from proclipusa.com

They’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.

Ohhhhh....that looks awesome, I'm so tired of the bad cheap retail clips I was finding. Thanks!
