    It’s utterly ridiculous. I will not buy a car without AA/Carplay (I don’t want Android Automotive).

    There’s so much wrong with their proposal. I don’t want my credentials to persist on a shared car! I already have a device that I take with me that has all the connectivity/data I want.

    Basically, if ‘forced’ to buy a car without AA/Carplay they’d better throw in a suction cup mount to stick over top of of the built in display so I can use the device I already pay for…

        Oh - undoubtedly. And potential revenue stream from services. None of this is for the benefit of the consumer.

      Some of the aftermarket AA kits are actually pretty decent. we basically have a big tablet mounted over the original dash of the safira .

          Can’t find the exact model we bought of aliexpress a few years ago. But I’d recommend watching some reviews on the Chinese AA screens. Good working ones are a dime in a dozen sadly.
