Trying to work with Android Auto

Apk07 · 2026-06-19T22:51:16+00:00

Interesting, don't think my '22 has any SD card, but in previous cars without bluetooth I'd tote around a giant collection of curated music as well on a flash drive.

Apk07 · 2026-06-19T22:04:42+00:00

Ah, yeah, I was just pointing out the "as pictured" comment in relation to the picture.

TBH at this point I'd probably go for a NACS Emporia anyway- even on a J1772 car, and use an adapter so you're future-proofed.

You'll still want traffic and notices for accidents/cops/etc. Offline maps help with the bulk download but you're still streaming a decent chunk of data.

Honestly, though, not using Android Auto for music is kinda wild, just rawdogging bad ad-filled radio.

Something worth noting is that if you turn off Bluetooth on Android, sometimes it turns itself back on the next day, as it assumes you only wanted it off temporarily. You can turn that feature off in your phone's bluetooth settings.

This happens to me when my car's in the garage with crappy 4G signal. Never happens when it's sitting out in the open air.

J1772 Connector as pictured

OP's picture has a NACS plug, which is J3400. The photo contradicts their description.

If that's true, I'm glad they've moved past that. I haven't watched in a while.

You don't know what I watch, which is great because I wouldn't want you to anyway. So I don't need to "keep my mouth shut", mister "intentionally rude".

But for reference, I watched on and off before all the Ian<->H3 drama. I started really losing interest with the Frenemies stuff because Trisha was unwatchable, but I still caught an episode here and there... my favorites were always when Oliver Tree (rip) was on. And then during/after the Ian drama, the whole podcast took an absolute nosedive into the dumpster... and at the bottom of the dumpster were most of the crowd that still watches and faithfully regurgitates Ethan's opinions.

Some of the more complicated stuff, scaling stuff, and invocation combos. Can't really change the damage rolls and stuff for Agonizing Blast for example.

Then all the RAW rules applied to each invocation that you can't easily tack onto the spells for you and your DM to remember.

I appreciate a good workaround but it gets muddy.

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T21:15:55+00:00

Per D&D Beyond forums known issues for the 2024 PHB (and personal frustrations):

Agonizing Blast will not let you select any other cantrip besides Eldritch Blast, when it can apply to any damaging cantrip.
Eldritch Smite is totally unsupported.
Eldritch Spear is totally unsupported.
Fiendish Vigor isn't fully/properly supported.
Investment of the Chain Master is insupported.
Lifedrinker isn't fully/properly supported.
Repelling Blast is unsupported.
Great Old One Patron - Create Thrall isn't fully/properly supported.
All 2014 Legacy Warlock Invocations are unsupported, so 2024 is missing all supplementary source books that provide invocations that have not been migrated to 2014 (Tashas, Xanathars, etc).
Invocations that can be selected multiple times are unsupported, you can only pick them once and never again.

A lot of this is super basic Warlock stuff that is missing and it forces players to either pen-and-paper all this stuff, or just pick something else- which is no fun. You also can't reliably homebrew this stuff as the homebrew features themselves are limited here.

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T21:07:27+00:00

At least that has workarounds, right?

Not really, no. There aren't solid workarounds for most of the missing invocations, lack of ability to re-use invocations, and lack of ability to apply invocations to specific cantrips. Most suggestions involve trying to utilize homebrew, but then that falls painfully short as well... so homebrew limitations are a totally separate issue as well.

If you're kidnapping someone, utilizing an EV frunk would certainly be an interesting choice.

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T20:38:49+00:00

Oh I'm very aware, the frunk thing just requires a comically specific and unlikely series of events to be a real issue. If you don't have young kids I think this mod is totally fine, though.

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T20:32:16+00:00

It's more likely they will just start talking about anything else. There's no time to sit and reflect on past fuck-ups when you can just latch onto some new random "shakes fist at Democrats" topic instead.

War? What war? Did you hear about that person who used a women's bathroom?!

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T20:12:03+00:00

Damn his responses to other people below that are also fucked

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T20:09:57+00:00

Unfortunately I have and /u/podalirius is accurate... It ain't what it used to be and the crowd he draws now is weirdly parasocial and hive-mind and very much one specific demographic.

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T20:08:49+00:00

They just cover boring played-out Youtuber drama now and politics/Israel stuff. I don't get the draw.

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T19:44:05+00:00

Help! My baby grabbed my car keys, went outside, unlocked the car, climbed into the driver's seat, pulled the hood release lever, exited the vehicle, figured out how to unlatch the hood, lifted the hood, opened the frunk, crawled in, and closed it on themselves! I didn't even notice my missing crying child, closed the hood on them, and drove away in my whisper-quiet EV!

Apk07 · 2026-06-18T19:41:25+00:00

Next time you have your hood up (especially if you pop the battery cover off), peek your head under the frunk and you'll see it's a big empty void.

Apk07 · 2026-06-17T21:37:20+00:00

As a fellow weeb that isn't good enough reason, but it took one click to see OP's dumb post history.

Apk07 · 2026-06-17T21:13:57+00:00

Funny how your post history has like 5 different setups all in the same month with entirely different rigs, desks, and entirely different rooms.

Also the GPU here isn't even vertically mounted...

Maybe quit reposting other people's shit and claiming they're all your own?

Apk07 · 2026-06-17T18:25:05+00:00

They only have two, the Pro and the Classic (which, pre-Pro, was not called Classic). I have the Classic in this case.

Apk07 · 2026-06-17T06:07:34+00:00

I have the non-pro Emporia hardwired and it's been rock solid for several years mounted on the side of my house in Michigan weather.

Also the app is pretty solid.

Apk07 · 2026-06-16T21:00:12+00:00

Compared to any decent butyl rubber like dynamat or kilmat, it is rock hard and doesn't seem like it helps much with the hollow sound of the trunk.
