I just had a BMW loaner car that had Android Auto.I didn't want to fool around with it...I just coupled my phone in the ordinary way. Anyone know what's so special about Android Auto?

My local Mexi restaurant makes fresh chips several times every day, and their own salsa too.

My bud here in Beverly Hills Mercedes Benz told me this year, MOST options are off the table when they buy 2022’s.

and I went to a Ford dealership, the Super Duty 2022’s which I want for our office CANNOT BE ORDERED. Period. Supply chain issues. The dealership got the memo from Ford HQ weeks ago to stop taking pre-orders. Imagine that. Ford refusing to take your money..

Never used to have this crap on cars. If you wanted it, you could get AC, other than that, you had a little handle that rolled down the window...also a wing window. The controls for the heater and AC were so simple that anyone with a little bit of mechanical skill could fix-just a nob and some cables.
Change your own spark plugs-try that with new cars these days. Could do complete tune ups with just a few wrenches.
The radio was simple to operate.

All this crap and it all goes to hell costing THOUSANDS of dollars to repair..if you can repair it.
I just replaced a thermostat housing on my little pick up. PLASTIC! The GD thing is PLASTIC! Has several hoses running out of it where before, the thermostat housing had just ONE running out of it.

Damn! That’s almost as bad as my Peloton bike being delayed. Life has gotten raw and brutal.

Got a new BMW 5 series and it came with android auto. I can e no use fir it so I disbled it and connect to my phone with a plain BT connection. Why would I want to mirror my phone’s screen on my car when it already has NAV, Sirius, spotify, etc built in?
