    Clearly none of you have ever driven a luxury car and used it’s infotainment. Outside of shitty map updates(which is not a thing on many brands now) many of them are quite good.

    That being said the economy brands should be focusing on basics like screen/touch latency and shitty handling of even basic Android Auto. My Subaru is a dumpster fire and the latest update has made Android Auto handshake a mess. Broke my wifes phone.

      My wife has a Subaru and an iPhone, myself being an android user. It is laughable how bad the android auto fits into her infotainment center. Half the screen is just dead space.

      I know the allure and up-their-own-ass of iPhones makes it seem like such a premium product, but companies really shouldn’t also buy into it and make android auto be a disaster in their vehicles.
