I can read in other forums too: with Android Auto, other issues and problems will come with. Some time ago, I decided (only for me) by using an extra (cheap) device to protect my expensive SmartPhone, will only shift problems to another level. But problems are still there. AND: the Andriod Auto is only a kind of mirror! Means, if somthing bad (lost/stolen, out of battery) happens with your Smartphone – the “thump mirror” is out of order too. You can’t any longer navigate (ok, no risc if you are just on highways) – and I believe it’s not possible to phone with (to call rescue).
For me, it wasn’t a solution – it was only shifting problems. Therefore I bought a DMD device. I’m travelling yearly up to 15.000 Km also offroad, and it’s still allive. And in case of accidents or crashes, I can use my phone as it was designed for: call rescue. And I have a spare navigation tool… 🙂
