    I have an older EV that used 3G for app access and maybe other stuff I haven’t noticed. It still runs but I can’t do things like tell it to preheat/cool the cabin from my phone. Its not an issue for me personally, the car has a timer function, and I can just set it to cool down at x time.

    But its interesting seeing abandoned protocols.

        The Android Auto still works, but to be completely and embarassingly honest, I have had a car with bluetooth for ten years and I think I have only used it once. I’m just weird like that. I just put some tunes on a USB and its good enough.
