    I barely like using my phonebat times, why the fuck would I want a tablet to control my car?

        Phonebat. It’s not a phone shaped like a bat it’s a bat shaped like a phone. Looks like somebody threw their phone, but then it keeps going and you’re like “must be a phonebat”

      ¿Por qué no dos dos?

      I’m putting a tablet in my car because I want a giant screen for navigation and engine management software. Tweaking fuel maps, reading data from various sensors like oil and intake temp, calculating MPG, etc.

      FWIW I’m not replacing my stereo and A/C controls; I need my physical buttons. I’m simply ripping out the outdated factory navigation to replace it with something modern, with more functionality that will get regular updates. Best of both worlds.

      (And yes I’m aware that Android Auto is a thing but again I don’t want to replace the stereo with a screen so I’m taking this route instead.)
