Couldn't disagree more. The car stereo market is completely abysmal and someone that has a clue making something is way past due. And unfortunately Apple seems to be just about the only company in the world that has a clue how to make a decent user interface.
The fact that I can't get in my car and listen to Pandora 100% hassle free and as easily as just hearing the radio when I start it up is ridiculous. Using the OE Subaru Nav HU's mp3 browsing is absolute garbage compared to an ipod. The maps interface is stupid and unintuitive and they expect me to PAY for updates?
I tried a Ca-fi knockoff for exactly 5 minutes and sent it back. I use an Android phone but it's not the answer for a car.
