It sounds like you have never used Apple CarPlay, everything is voiced controlled. If I get a text it notifies me via Siri then reads it to me and asked me if I want to reply, I say yes and speak my response and say send. I never have to take my hands off the wheel or my eyes off the road. It is amazing and perfectly safeAndroid Auto and Apple Carplay are so gay. You should *never* interact with your phone or tablet for *anything* when driving. If you need to interact with a portable electronic device you need to stop and get off the road to a safe place. Or get a passenger to do the interaction if you're driving with someone else capable.

Android auto has that feature too. I used it once so far. I think it all depends what your habits are.

Umm, no pics? COME ON nowI recently added the Joying JY-TQ158N4G
for me, one of the selling points is that it has it's own SIM card slot -- my stereo is no longer coupled to my phone at all.
The cellular antennas are about the size of my phone and spaced out on opposite sides of the dash - it gets better reception.
The GPS antenna is external, and full-sized, and on the dashboard near the windshield - again: it works better than my phone.
It has 64gb of onboard memory for maps & music, as well as can take up to a 500GB HDD (I just have a 64gb usb drive installed) so I don't mind downloading *all* the maps and music that I might not want to fill my phone with.
There's some small comfort in having redundancy for gps navigation. I've dropped my phone out in the wild before and was a little worried about getting back. Paper maps still work, sure, but ... I prefer GPS.
And for music - my home screen shows audible, spotify, downloaded music, and FM radio all on the same screen. Easy to switch between them.
the 9" screen is much easier to see at a glance vs. my phone and now that I'm not using any phone screen, I can put it out of the way.
Final convenience - I have an OBDII reader app that can show actual temps and voltage, etc. It's not something I really need to see all the time, but I do like being able to check on it.
Oh! and I have the chipotle app installed for easy lunch-ordering along the way.
I also upgraded to one of the newer Joying units earlier last year. This is based on Android 9 which solved most of the issues with Apps not running that i experienced on my old joying unit (android 4.4).
This unit hits the sweet spot for everything i need except that i can not connect any bluetooth device that doesn't require 2 way pairing. My phone will connect but i can not connect my Toyocom ODB1 reader or even a set of wireless headphones. If i could do that this would be a 10/10 product.
Yeah, that was a major downside...got over it though....Wait, where's the volume knob?
pm me your phone number and I'll call you while drivingHow is the phone call audio on the new units?
It's terrible on the old one.
