Car Radios

I honestly don’t really get the ‘obsession’ with wireless AA / Carplay… they are more prone to dropouts and (unless you have a late model car with a wireless charging pad) you can’t charge it either.

You’re right Radiohead. But for me it’s been great. When I finally found a dongle that worked properly. It took three of them to get to that.

Mostly it’s great because your phone isn’t sitting there charging away all the time, getting hotter and hotter as it sizzles away on the car seat or centre console. Who knows what that does to the phone battery after a while.

Yes, it’s a bit of a catch 22. My phone gets hot as hell if I put it in the wireless charger in the car, but if I don’t the wireless Android Auto drains the battery in record time.

Same deal with my BYD Seal
