A poll conducted by GSMArena suggests that Android Auto is used by 50.1% of car owners, while only 17.4% use Apple CarPlay. No insight into the “I use my phone with a holder” camp is given, as they could be Android or iPhone users.

    Very interesting! I didn’t know there was such a thing. I may have to look into it at some point! Although granted I feel like my phone mount does a decent enough job without taking up too much space.

      Yeah, I realize it’s kind of cheap Chinese junk, but it honestly works better than it has any right to.

      I agree though, using the phone in your case might be the best option, or could I indulge you in this!? Haha

        I think the biggest thing for me would be that using these sorts of systems means the addition of a lot more wires than my current setup and either a partial obstruction to the windshield or my dashboard’s control system which I’m not really keen on.
