>I wish they'd just drop the idea of external monitor support.

One of the biggest selling points for me is the external monitor support. Of course this phone isn't going to have features like carplay/android auto (and coming from carplay, I would be very sad to lose this functionality) but since this phone has a way to connect an external display, I plan on doing something to plug my phone into my car's head unit (via hdmi) and have it display GPS maps and possibly media player (through kodi).

Looking forward to having the freedom to do whatever I want (hopefully) with this phone!!

I wonder if you'd be able to use the same code that https://getcrankshaft.com/ is using to replace Android Auto.
