I ditched iphone back at the iphone 3gs. Its not the phone as much as iTunes. I LOATH iTunes. To me its a virus. Infesting the computer and making it unstable

Been android ever since. Again I don't hate the iphone just their computer software needed to support it.

Wife and I have note 8 phones. For music I just put all my music on a sd card and stick that in the radio. Phone is just for making calls radio wise for us.

Since we use the Soccer mom minivan more than the BMW X5 for our family trips, I really like the fact that I can connect my phone to the android radio and use the app on my phone but utilize the 7" screen in the minivan. I use the app Waze for GPS since it offer "Real Time" info on the road condition. We could be driving along and the app will tell me that there's a car stop ahead, or there's a police car .5 mile away. I can also stream music from my phone or listen to internet radio such as Iheart radio.

CarPlay still connects via analog iLink - No Thanks

Don't want to really get into the iPhone vs Android debate. I'm looking for CarPlay solution, the N7 seemed promising, but the fact that CarPlay still isn't native is a deal breaker for me. The only way iLink connects is analog RCA cables?!

Wish Dynavin would make an all-digital CarPlay-Only product. Get rid of
  1. CD+DVD disc player
  2. SiriusXM
  3. SD card reader
  4. Android Link
  5. Dynavin Navigation

THIS I would buy.
