Would be interesting if someone who knows more about specific models and parts could chime in. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 child) Tech breaks before mechanics: CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity is the industry’s #1 problem three years running.
