Original: I turned an old phone into a permanent Android Auto device, and my main phone never connects to the car anymore
A tech writer describes repurposing an old Android phone as a permanent Android Auto unit in their car, so the everyday phone no longer needs to connect at all. The idea is getting attention as a cheap alternative to buying a dedicated car stereo or wireless adapter, though practical questions remain about power, heat and keeping the old phone updated.
Why now: Drivers are interested in cheap DIY ways to get wireless Android Auto without new hardware.
