In what way does it suck? I've been happy with it for years, but I also only use it to play music and show a map, so maybe there are things you want to do that I've never tried?
Here's a fun experiment next time you get in your car: Use your Android Auto screen to retrieve a text message someone sent you before you started your car. Not on your phone screen. You have to do it on the screen in your car.
Why would you look at text messages on your car screen... Especially old ones? Is that something people do often while driving?
Yeah, nobody would ever text you the address of where you're going or anything.
Think, people.
Uh, why would I text inside of Android Auto? I'd just pick up my phone and copy/paste the address into Google Maps on the phone while it's plugged in, like I did last month, and then Google Maps would display it on Android Auto.
Also, please don't text and drive. Pull over to text.
