      Android Auto and Car Play are both systems that allow phones to display content on the cars screens. I drive and older car, but installed a new head unit that has Android Auto. I have all the same features I want from a connect car, without it being connected.

      My cars infotainment system is essentially a thun client for my phone. It works great. It connects automatically a few seconds after I start the car via Wi-Fi from my phone, so I don’t even have to take my phone out of my pockwt when I get in.

      No, your car has an external screen for your phone, so you look at your car the same way you would with an integrated system, but the connectivity comes from your phone.
