Car manufacturers lag a few years when it comes to entertainment systems inside the vehicle, and that is especially true of the cheaper models.
Those who have tried such a system, you probably know how counter intuitive and difficult to use, and particularly slow, as an older mobile phone. Also, many of them still use restrictive touch screen that requires a strong push with your finger and do not allow touching on several points.
Honda, one of the largest manufacturers decided to improve things by incorporating Android in the new Civic, but whether it is the right move? First, the version of Android that is built is Ice Cream Sandwich, which reigned three years, and secondly, the interface is almost equally in one tablet. And such an interface, in the car, almost never fails. The chip is the Nvidia Tegra, but stated exactly who, although according to the version of the operating system, it is possible it is much older.
Despite this, the system has a good feature, but it is the use of the mobile phone, the big screen in the car. Simple, smart phone connects to the HDMI cable and then you can use all of its applications and its user interface. This means that you can use iOS and Windows Phone devices that have built-in HDMI output. Fine.
However, one thing is clear in the whole situation, and that is why Honda opted ordinary Android, when Google has already launched Android Auto as a software solution designed exclusively for cars. Or for Apple Car Play or Microsoft Sync, which are already developed software for cars.
I seem to spend some time while the world of cars catching mobile technology in terms of multimedia features, although more expensive models already emerging multimedia systems that are quick and easy to use.
