While they're at it, can they talk their oem into adding a headphone jack? Literally the main reason I don't already do Pixel + Graphene. (And yes I know one of the supported Pixel phones does have one, but it also happens to be the exact model that I have personally seen do the black screen of death, so no thanks).

my car set up that only gets used once or twice a month:

  • phone to usb c charge + accessory dongle
  • charge line from dongle to cig port charger dongle to usb c to double 3.5
  • 3.5 speaker to cassette adapter
  • 3.5 mic to microphone clipped to sun visor
  • janky bluetooth button thing zip tied to the steering wheel and routed to cig port charger for answering calls and skipping tracks

the audio quality is surprisingly excellent too. stock radios aren't bad, though the speakers have been hit and miss as I take all the junk to different cars. I think there are different types of cassette adapter too. My mom broke the one my parents had from before I existed by putting it in the wrong way and getting the cord stuck inside the slot and I replaced it, but the new one sounded way better in the same car.
