Poor people telling themselves that money isn't worth it because the cost of everything will just go up is one of the most inexplicably sociopathic things in all of society. I've seen it in all demographics, all regions, all types of poor people, from white trash to compton. Stop believing this loving nonsense. Stop repeating this loving nonsense.

KillHour posted:I really really like Android Auto and I basically can't live without it. Have you seen the navigation built into cars? Horrendous. I'd say it depends on the car and what other features are available. If the car has a decent HUD that pairs well with the navigation then Google Maps usually ends up being pretty poor by comparison. I'll usually take marginally okay integrated navigation with extra features like HUD/digital gauge arrows over screen mirroring Google Maps, especially if it means plugging the phone in. Edit- But to be clear, I'm saying that I find plugging my phone in for mirroring to be marginally useful compared to just sticking the phone in a mount for situations where I need navigation. Google Maps is super useful, I just don't find AA screen mirroring to really be a killer feature. Pryor on Fire posted:Stop believing this loving nonsense. Stop repeating this loving nonsense. It's a good way to sort people who don't even have a basic understanding of economics, though. Like, no, you aren't going to ever cause runaway inflation by handing out money unless you are literally just printing that money. That isn't how inflation works.

CornHolio posted:The nav in my Dodge is pretty decent. Not as good as google maps but better than most other ones I've used. Said it before and I'll say it again, in lots of environments it's super useful to have maps that update often, for traffic and other reasons, so even if I had a Bentley I'd probably be sticking my phone on a mount. For most (all?) OEMs that data is an added subscription. CarPlay is OK but I almost prefer the mount. You lose features in Waze that you'd have on the phone version, for example.

Until they come up with some sort of standard API for CarPlay and Android Auto to publish their navigation cues to a HUD, the built-in nav for cars with that equipment is going to look pretty good. I'm not holding my breath for that API, either.

I'm not holding my breath for that API, either. Yeah, the truth is that driving with a HUD + even mediocre navigation system still beats great phone navigation pretty hard. That's part of why I want wireless mirroring so badly. Without using the phone for navigation, the extra step of actually plugging a phone into a USB port makes the whole thing feel kind of clunky. That's twice as true with any car that uses a proximity key, because it screws up the whole flow of leaving literally everything in your pockets.

Wireless android auto is a thing now though? It's just very new. I just designed and 3d printed a wireless charger base holder and stand that fits in the cupholder so I didnt have to plug my phone into anything in my 04 Tacoma. It has little arms so phone wont fly off of it. I'm doing the best with what I have. My phone (note 8) just got the update to use it last month and head units that are compatible just hit the market less than a year ago. I'm installing the head unit shortly

I cant speak for android auto but apple carplay just has so much wasted screen real estate that its fuckin pointless. you could have the album art on the now playing screen, but lets just have a grey background with a line of white text on it and zero controls. you could have a volume slider on the screen like your phone has, so that you dont need to jab a button 10 times to turn the volume up because we removed the volume dial, but instead they just dont use it for anything. and unless you spend $1000 you are stuck with some matte finish resisitve touch display capable of displaying almost 80 colours. and on top of that you need to have your phone plugged in to use it. Im better off with my 2DIN head unit with dot matrix display and my phone in a magnetic cradle with google maps running on that. Siri still works fine, the screen is better, no cables, and Im not locked out of using other applications that dont have a Carplay version.

Please all continue to use text-heavy apps on your cradled phones in your cars while driving, it’s completely safe and distracted driving is in no way a serious problem that’s not really killing people.

CarPlay and Android Auto would be a lot better if they mandated touch screens as a requirement. Having to use a click/jog wheel on an interface designed for touch is annoying. I don't know if it's the same with Android Auto but in CarPlay, Spotify is limited to displaying only 300 items (artists, songs, albums, whatever). If you have more than that then you need to use the phone to access them which defeats the whole point of CarPlay. Apparently it's a completely arbitrary limit as people report that occasionally it glitches and everything will be available.

I just bought an alpine shallow unit that does AA/CP and is capacitive touch with a decent screen for $500 Canadian funbux, it doesn't have CD capabilities due to the shallow form factor but otherwise it's got features like any other radio.

Android Auto is fantastic in my VW head unit. Waze works great, the voice assistant works fine for texting and saying "Navigate me to the nearest Whataburger" actually takes me where I want to go (mostly). Yes, it limits what apps you can use, but it's pretty intuitive as long as the head unit is good, and you're comfortable with Android.

A few years ago CarPlay felt like a huge letdown. However after they added support for Google Maps and Waze instead of just Apple Maps the experience improved tremendously. Upgrading from an iPhone 6 to a XR that doesn’t close apps randomly and poo poo itself, disconnecting from the head unit, also had a lot to do with it. I am running a Pioneer SPH-DA120 which has a nice capacitive screen and is only about 300 bucks now (was 600 a few years ago). There are still lots of issues with clunky interfaces like the aforementioned Spotify lists, continuing your current podcast in Overcast, and finding albums by artist in Amazon Music. In most cases it is faster and more intuitive to select what you are trying to listen to on the phone than the head unit which is Bad and Dangerous. The head unit is also clearly aimed at having steering wheel controls because it only has a few little lovely touch buttons on the side of it for volume and skip which are cumbersome. The 2019 Golf I drove still had the same issue, in order to pause something while you have navigation running you have to switch to the audio app, hit pause, then switch back. It is by no means perfect but the fact that the infotainment experience has actually improved after a few years with no new hardware in the car is really cool. It makes me feel like it will get better in the future instead of just being abandoned.

Mr. Apollo posted:CarPlay and Android Auto would be a lot better if they mandated touch screens as a requirement. Having to use a click/jog wheel on an interface designed for touch is annoying. I'm convinced that the dumb limits (there's also the "you can only touch x amount of times without braking" limit) on Android Auto cause more dangerous situations than they prevent because I have a feeling a lot of people will absolutely just reach for their phones to change the song if they can't do it on their infotainment. The limits are also horrible if you ever drive with a passenger, because Android Auto always assumes that the driver is using the system, so even the passenger can't do anything. Some apps (like Waze) don't work for me on the phone screen while Android Auto is running, so if I'm driving with my wife and she wants to change destinations, she needs to unplug my phone, put in a destination, reconnect my phone, press play on Spotify and then switch back to Waze. It's absolutely ridiculous.

AA functions quite nicely on most Ford and GM cars, in my experience. Especially when you have a dedicated media key to toggle between it and the infotainment screens.

I'm interested in hearing more about this, because my wife was looking at snagging one of the early 2019 RAV4 Hybrids. The main complaint I've seen is "unrefined engine" and "fisher price interior". This thing's primary duty will be kid hauler, and I'd hope that chunky black plastic holds up. Her commute is more than an hour each way in miserable, crushing city traffic and she's getting 18 or 19mpg in a Focus right now, so I can only assume that a CX5 would be worse. Hopefully the 41mpg city rated RAV4 would drink a lot less gas.
