Damon claims that Honda's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! will be the first one that's Android-based, but what makes the 2014 Kia Soul's Android-based !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! system not "real Android?" I know that Kia's system is based on 2.3 Gingerbread, which is unfortunate, but what else is there?

Who cares? This infotainment crap is stupid anyways.

Just an unnecessary and costly option with functions that other devices can do better anyway.

Having something based on Android is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because all the potential software out there for it. A curse because, yes, even though it's running android, it's not likely to be updated after a few years at best. It does make it hackable (in a good way), but if there isn't a large enough following, no one will bother updating it.
