Comment on Kia drops the ball again on their vehicles

My phone is not meant to be an everything-device. I've learned my lesson a long time ago when I once had an all-in-one copier/printer/scanner. When one functionality broke, so did the rest of it. If my phone was gone and I put everything on to it, well what did I just lose? Everything.
The USB stick idea did indeed work, but it felt so backwards doing so.

Unfortunately, there’s probably a decent amount of overhead for them to get their infotainment systems to be compatible with all the edge cases, so they make them compatible with the products that most people use. You would think that the iPhone and the iPod would be similar with regard to how music is accessed on them though.
