CarPlay transmits audio over wifi
Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
vardogor@mander.xyz 11 months agoi like my car :( and i’m paranoid about features in new cars. i can hear a noticeable difference in quality with bluetooth vs wired too. never been a fan, since i like to put money into my sound system
anyways, regardless, cars that people primarily use 3.5mm for aren’t going away too soon. not really the source of the problem

oh huh, good to know. if android auto doesn’t already too, hopefully it will by the time my arm is twisted into getting a new car

You can retrofit a head unit or a screen to an older car. It works really well and gives so many more years to an older vehicle.
Look for “CarPlay screen” on amazon

oh i know. i’ve just been on the fence about that since it’s got 200k miles haha. it’s rocking an amp with the stock headunit

I can very much recommend! It’s nearly as buying a new car, at least for me xD

I upgraded my car without Bluetooth using a carPlay ready touchscreen auto radio to replace the old thing that was mounted in the DIN drawer thingy

You should do what I did and just fuck up your ears with loud car stereos in your teenage years. Now I can’t tell a damn bit of difference.
