At least what i said above. Comfort-features. The open ones are great, don’t get me wrong. But not here and not for cars. At least not for me. Would’ve otherwise prefered open of course.

Really tried. They just totally suck for us. Sygic isn’t great either but way more helpful (with lane-assist or speedcam warnings and such). And the yearly sub costs a tiny fraction of what Bentley would want for a post-warranty service with nav-update 😁
Sadly found no better alternative so far, especially because I effing hate google and have it removed 99,9%.

No it does not. The AA phone is a dedicated one without SIM and a dummy google account. Whatever they track is not only useless, it couldn’t even leave the phone.
And the car itself has no uplink or anything that would need one. The best the onboard system can do is show the time and play radio. Without the phone the car is dumb as a wet rock.

Exactly…that’s why my only viable solution is the AA one. Phone on VPN with a dummy account. Automatically switched to airplane when car off and to my phone’s hotspot when car is on. Google has no usable data here. Not perfect, yes.

Android auto, sorry. I also hate forced onboard navigation that either gets stale or where you have to pay for updates. At least after warranty ends in my case.
It’s a day I wouldn’t even notice something special. As I never used that piece of shit excuse of an app. Fuck Zuck.

Mine doesn’t. Specifically downgraded big time to a nearly dumb car (AA is the only modern feature and this I can control)
I hope for the future those dumb things will still be built or else I’d have a problem…

Yeah I’m fine with that. As long as a line is drawn.

Even with absolute no pervert intention to use them, I would not want them around me. A Facebook thing constantly recording everything? We need to draw a line before it’s too late.

Not that i would like those things, but at least a gopro is very visible and surely not the prime choice of pervs.

Doesn’t make it better 😉 Still haven’t purchased. Not even pirated or played. That’s so sad they fucked it up.

Fair point. That was indeed a good reason. But IMHO an intro would’ve been enough to explain the boundaries of this simulation. Not a whole “mini-game” around it. But anyhow, it didn’t really kill the vibe, just temporary. Loved the games. Even Valhalla was nice. At least the beginning…

Screw the awards…I mean, starfield won “most innovative game” for being exactly the absolute opposite of that.
I actually disliked AC until Origins. That was nice, and odyssey is my favourite. Malaka!
The animus-thing is probably the only part that strings them together to call it AC. But for me, it was always the annoying immersion killing part.

I can imagine…and I really really despise commercials or ads. They all try to take you for some dumb troglodyte. I long switched to piracy for movies and series. Enter name, wait 1-2 minutes, watch in 4k with no ads but in peace.

Lol. My bill is fixed so that wouldn’t change anything. But our TV can only do jellyfin 😁

I haven’t seen any live-tv for 30yrs now, I’m baffled they still exist somehow?

If dumdums like you are the future of humanity, I’m happy to be dead by then. People like you make it hard to be nice to people. Now go back to work so i don’t have to.

Your wits are only matched by your eloquency :)
I don’t actually remember comaps. But those crowd-sourced are usually problematic here, as you already pointed out. I can live with Sygic though. Good lifelong discount for yearly, and it’s european :)
