I fucking hate cars
Not me. But I hate car makers.
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
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!
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.
You know, like the infotainment they’re building, that they wouldn’t need to build if they kept phone integration.
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?
Then get your self a second hand cheap phone and keep it in there.
no thanks no need for google shit in my car it works by itself
