The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

So, my issue with the CarPlay headunits, cool as they are, is that I don't really want a head unit that depends on my phone to do things.

What if my phone is dead, or someone else is driving the car, or I don't have service? Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would rather have a H/U that can handle Bluetooth audio streaming from whoever's phone(s), and some sort of "send to car" functionality where I could look up an address on my phone's Google Maps and send it to the car so I'm not pecking an address in to the H/U (but maps would be stored on the unit).

I just think these units are great, if you only drive places where you have quality LTE cell service all the time.

iCar and Android Auto are just another source input, so you would still have aux in, radio, bluetooth, etc. (though i bet bluetooth streaming would be easier/faster to leave the phone in your pocket and tap a button on the screen)
