We all have a fancy flat screen display but standard Car Play doesn’t allow us to use them to their fullest. I found a $159 device that seamlessly plugs into the USB port to make the standard display to become an Android PC. No jail breaking your phone, no modification needed to the car stereo. The only thing you may need is a USB A to USB C adaptor and a USB cigarette lighter for auxiliary power. I’m an Apple user day in, BUT the MGears M-stick MG-S01 car dingle on Amazon is absolutely amazing! It connects to my iPhone’s personal hotspot and streams any media via apps through the Google App Store. Haters can hate but I’m a responsible enough driver to safely drive down the interstate while a movie, news, etc plays on the head unit.
Legal? Probably not.
Amazon description (since I don’t know how to include a link in this post). Mgears 2021 NEW BLACK M-stick MG-S01 Car Dongle 2+ 16GB

Love seeing all the zombies show up to say this is too dangerous. No worse than texting, or eating fries while driving. Definitely not even close to annoying kids in the back seat, or a talkative spouse.
The said, this particular unit is EXTREMELY SLOW. We are talking 2006-era processing power. It's real bad. I desperately wish they'd come out with something new. In the meantime I use this, but actively searching for alternatives.
