They need to give it a software update that essentially turns it into your average car entertainment system, with support for local files, AirPlay (and whatever the Android equivalent is... casting?), and other streaming services including Spotify (even the garbage free version), oh, and CDs too, with metadata. I mean, this thing is pretty good at modernizing older cars to an extent, why did they suddenly choose to get rid of it completely?

Well I would like the option to use it as a simple media control. It only has 500 mb RAM so it's not going to do well with a lot of local media playback

That's cool too
