My car is a 2017 and its entertainment system hasn’t been update since then. I don’t want to pay the $250 to upgrade it or whatever the crazy price was.

My personal car (the second, mostly unused car in our family) is from 2016, and it has nav and everything, but it looks like it's a commodore. It's also woefully out of date, my house is in the middle of a cornfield according to my car. Literally unusable, and was pretty much right out of the gates even. Doesn't work very well with my phone, I'm still able to stream Spotify and skip songs or whatever, but guess how I have to control it? The phone hooked to the cord and sitting on my seat.

My wife's car, I don't even think I've ever used the navigation. I'm not even really sure how her radio works come to think of it, because it just switches to Android Auto when I start it, and whatever I was doing on my phone, well it's right there. Spotify starts up, and on the way we go. Don't even look at it most of the time, if I'm being honest. Super unsafe for sure, the proprietary solution is for sure better (/s)
