In-car, smartphone infotainment systems are a pro for car shoppers, but not necessarily carmakers who'd rather keep your data all for themselves.

    It’s so painful, because it could really be good. But they went out of their way to make it suck…

      In what way does it suck? I’ve been happy with it for years, but I also only use it to play music and show a map, so maybe there are things you want to do that I’ve never tried?

          Uh, why would I text inside of Android Auto? I’d just pick up my phone and copy/paste the address into Google Maps on the phone while it’s plugged in, like I did last month, and then Google Maps would display it on Android Auto.

          Also, please don’t text and drive. Pull over to text.

          Why would you look at text messages on your car screen… Especially old ones? Is that something people do often while driving?

          That’s good, now I can remain being happy with something I’m happy with. You’re the best!
