I love my car thing, since I stream from my phone, the controls are easier to use and reach via car thing. Amazed there isnt 3rd party products to take over it, how much would an opensource display with a couple knobs running android be hard for some company to make? Or have those companies who make community goods like 3d printed parts, etc make them form some opensource design?
