Well, I was thinking like the Kenwwod ones.
I mean, why are these units 400 - 500 bucks, if they are just dummy screens, and you phone does all the heavy lifting?

They'd have their own Kenwood UI built in too for the radio (probably DAB), mp3 playback, etc plus Carplay most likely if they have Android Auto.0 -

Fair enough, massive disparity between what I'd pay and what they are valued at for me personally! 0 -

That actually looks much better for people who use just phones!
Pretty happy with this being inbound
What about yourself then, you'll have a self contained Android Auto head unit in the car?0 -

Fingers crossed, if it ever arrives at the dealer. Been wanting one for years as every phone I have is destroyed with screen burn from Android Auto.0 -

Doesn't look too bad but I still don't see it showing any more in a handier way than the phone version of Android Auto already does. I also really hope they don't shoehorn Google Podcasts in as the only podcast player as it's terrible.

Looks like Auto is getting a new update later in the "Summer".
I like the idea of Android being inbuilt into the car too

Still on the fence about almost 600 to get this in a head unit in the car
Nice to see the updates are to the phone so not reliant on the head unit /radio manufacturers if/when they update0 -

Balls to that man!
If you don't have BT in your car stereo, pick up something like the below one in Amazon, for £18.99 and has an extra 5% off until May 31st too
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Favoto-Bluetooth-Control-Hands-free-Installing/dp/B07MQSX138/ref=sr_1_7?crid=29PQIXLXJJEA1&keywords=bluetooth+car+radio&qid=1558301604&s=gateway&sprefix=bluetooth+car+%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-7
Then just use your phone in a car holder.
No way in hell I'd be handing out 600 bucks

In fairness the adaptors, facia labour etc are 180 alone, so that's 200 before you go looking at a double din head until
I have aux in built into car, then a good FM Bluetooth thing, then Bluetooth speaker from lidl for calls and maps etc if I don't use phone for music via aux in or FM transmitter
Thanks for the link and suggestion 0 -

No bother
Ultimately the decision to spend that kind of money is up to you, so best of luck either way^^^ Thought I clicked into a bargain thread, instead of an app thread?
Sorry man, sometimes stuff about Android Auto get's a little outside the realm of just app talk 0 -
