Share your experience with Android Car

[leonador87]

How can you download Android App for your car? I have no chance to experience that even though im willing to, that's why i'm here to listen to all the expert.

Do you feel like we need more Android apps for car, is there any disadvantages or inconvenient things about that??

If you mean having an Android head unit, I stay away from those. They are notoriously poor quality from no-name companies. You're better off getting a true head unit from a name brand company with something like Android Auto capabilities to sync your phone with. But even then, so access is limited for obvious reasons.

Not sure what you mean exactly but if you are talking headsets do yourself a favor and spend the money on a blue parrot headset. Best in the business hands down in my opinion.

I'm not sure if that's what the OP was meaning, but from one trucker to another, I agree. I use the B-450XT, and the B-250XT before that.

I agree - I would stay away from head units running some version of Android directly, those seem to be running old versions of Android and likely will never be updated.

As for additional apps - LESS distraction is better. Maps, music, podcasts, phone, messaging is all we SHOULD have in the car...

This is what I was thinking as well.
