The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

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)

OK, that makes more sense. I actually found a head unit for the Denali that looks promising, and actually supports CarPlay (Pioneer 5000 NEX) for not a ton of cash. Seems to be a good solution in that it'll do everything standalone until I plug my phone in, which is fine by me.

The Parrot unit posted earlier seemed to be far more focused on being a dumb screen/amp for your phone which is why I voiced my concern in the first place.
