I have a KIA, it is decent but I would love more freedom ans I sont trust that access will remain free. VW is paid now.

I guess we got lucky with our 2015 Highlander 😅

Yeah, tbh I want to decouple from tech providers completely and part of that would be enabling smart features to work locally in the car or back to a home server. I wish it were possible, currently you cant even get a FOSS alternative to apple or android auto

Yeah, it sucks. I would love a FOSS alternative for AA.

The duopoly prevents it. In theory it should be simple to plug something other in and use it but the manufscturers dont allow for it.

Maps, music, calls and messages. None of this needs to be google and apple.
