>Let me know the next time you plug your phone into a computer.

Doing that in your car is pretty common, though USB2 speeds seem to be more than enough for that.

USB2 speeds are 100x more than enough for that.

Well, technically, you can watch videos in your car, so perhaps sometimes not 100x, though still lots to spare.

Which car allows you to watch videos from your phone on the Console?

I believe the Chrysler Pacifica lets you stream to the rear seat video screens. I’m sure there are others as well.

I’m going to go ahead and assume those video screens aren’t 4K. I don’t think bandwidth is going to be a big problem.

That is not from your device.

You can connect your phone or iPad with a cable to the UConnect system and do things like stream Netflix or other video streams to the screens.

No car does that streaming from your phone (except for airplay… which makes my point)

Ah, well your original point was basically saying nobody connected their phone to a computer :)

I mean, I get the pedantry, but my statement was still true for any meaningful conversation.

Back at ya.
