It definitely seems silly how infotainment has played out in cars...have we learned nothing from our piles of bricked ipads and phones? How are we still using suction cups or vent fan clips if we want our phones somewhat accessible?
It would be so much better there was a recessed phone compartment (with a slide cover) to the right of the instrument panel...toss in a bigger screen in the centre if you want, but it should be essentially casting off a phone app. Touch screen if you want, but please just let me navigate simply with 4 directional arrows, OK, and back button (on both steering wheel and centre dash).
Maybe it's starting to head that way a bit with AppleCarPlay, etc? As a fairly tech savvy person it is far too painful to deal with crap the way it is now.
