  • I am not sure how it could be much more intuitive, at least from a touch screen perspective. It’s just a touch interface with an app drawer, nothing much more to it than that. However, if it wasn’t a touch screen I could believe it not being very nice to use, as I have a friend that has an Audi that does CarPlay but the screen isn’t touch, so he had to use physical buttons to use the interface. THAT is definitely not good.

    As for the apps, I use Signal, WhatsApp, Messages, Spotify, YT Music, Waze, and Google Maps and they all support AA, so at least for my purposes it does what I need from a car apps interface standpoint.


  • The main argument I have against just phone + bluetooth is that you have to unlock your screen, keep it on, and it’s a smaller size. I have wireless android auto set up, along with a magsafe case+charger, so my routine is to get in the car, slap the phone on the charger, and everything just comes up on my head unit display. For me it is way more convenient than having to deal with my phone display, and the larger screen is also better for navigation.

    I have yet to hear any real negative points against AA or CarPlay for that matter, mostly it comes down to preferences like yours rather than actual interface issues.










  • Hot damn, this is the most satisfyingly hilarious pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. Musk has got to be the absolute richest moron on the entire planet, and possibly in all of reality itself. What the absolute hell is he thinking??? Is this some kind of 5-D chess thing where he is going to somehow get a payout for tearing it down Producers-style?

    Sadly they only have two things they do with surplus here, either let you take it for free (but still keep track of it in inventory and you have to return it if you ever leave the company), or send them out for destruction. They don’t sell anything as far as I know.

    I plan on trying a few more things but I have a feeling in the end it’s just not going to be useful and I’ll end up taking it back to surplus. Maybe I can find an older model that is usable that does not have the MDM.
