Oh my, since when do cars have HDMI in? That's real luxury.

Does anyone actually use either of those though? It's always been more easy and convenient for me to just use my own phone.

I'm not sure a lot of you are reading that they are replacing ACP and AA with built in Google apps, including Google maps for navigation; they aren't eliminating the functionality, they are replacing it.

I think I would prefer this over slaving my phone to the car because there are some real annoying things about AA when I try to use it while connected to my car. The only big question is: do they require separate Internet connection or can I use my unlimited data plan phone as a hotspot. Having to pay for more connection services would piss me off, however I read somewhere a few weeks back that connecting to the Internet via a hotspot was supported.
