There was also the UVO in dash infotainment unit which connects to both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. We did not make use of those particular features on our drive to New Hampshire but later in the week I did get to see Android Auto in action.

The result is the video below which is pretty cool but not VR. The VR ones are below.
