    I mean, newer cars do. But it’s not like a lot of people are out buying a new car every 2 years like they would a phone. My car is from 2015 and has a lot of bells and whistles but still doesn’t have Car Play or Android Auto capabilities. I wouldn’t even consider it to be that old of a vehicle considering how far you can get on a car nowadays.

      Oh yeah, I mean car play and android auto are older than magsafe or qi2, so all cars that would have them built in would just have car play or auto.

        Huh? You can easily buy a Magsafe phone mount to stick in your car. You can’t conveniently or cheaply replace the head unit of your car to support Android Auto in a quality way. I mean you definitely can replace the head unit, but it’ll either be expensive as fuck or it’ll be a cheap and shitty experience. And replacing it is nowhere near as simple as just attaching a phone mount to your car.
