I was getting financial advice from Jalopnik again and saw this: https://gizmodo.com/android-auto-pre...-it-1707102125

The writer loved Android Auto, said it was better than anything any automaker had developed on their own, but mentioned:
Quote:
Once could argue that Google could just make Android Auto a standalone app for Android phones that would basically take over your display, so when it’s stuck to your dash it acts just like the version that’s built into cars. So why don’t they do that?
Has anyone developed an Android app that would do the same things?

I could replace the stock stereo with this $300 JCV unit off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/JVC-KW-M730BT...T/?tag=at88-20

The top review mentioned a dash kit, but Amazon did not link any, nor backup cameras, so I really do not know how much this would cost to install on my $250 car, but think of the children!

Of course, I would lose my CD player, which doesn't work. I would also lose my tape player.

Who still has tapes?!
