Phone or Tablet as your interface device?

[Coaly]

I have no intention of using a phone or a tablet. I know really old school.

That’s what I thought when I bought the Tesla. Onboard navigation and gps, and 18 inch screen spoiled me, and just give it an address to drive to without intervention is a game changer not only on trips, but for traffic, accidents or construction. I never had a screen or even back up camera in any vehicle, now anything else feels antique. I know this will too. It’s a back up vehicle for me at 1/4 the price.

USAA dings me if I touch my phone while driving. If it is operated through CarPlay then it is fine. Also, the icons are small and it would be difficult to find and select icons. With CarPlay only CarPlay enabled apps show and the icons are much bigger making it easy to operate without putting my reading glasses on.

How does USAA detect that?

Lenovo makes a tablet with a built in speaker. Lenovo Tab Plus 2 is a new model that should give a pretty good audio experience for a simple fix.
