Android Auto isn't worth the hassle -- my car's infotainment does it better

The author argues that Android Auto isn’t worth the effort, saying their car’s built-in infotainment works better day to day. They drive a 2022 Kia Niro EV EX Premium with a 10-inch touchscreen and use wired Android Auto only, which requires a USB cable each time and relies on a single USB port location. Wireless Android Auto could solve this, but the author says reliability can vary and mentions that adapters are hit or miss. Instead, Bluetooth pairing connects quickly and rarely drops, and the Kia navigation integrates with the dashboard and uses physical buttons. They also say the Kia app can send charging-station locations for EV trips.
