I do have a android phone and I’ll have to check that , main reason I use it for is I have the ability to install any playstore app which we can’t do with 
android auto or 
CarPlay, the apps are very limited  ,with this can install web browsers , navigation apps, live tv apps , radio apps , and install any app you want really , also the video in motion option is good and screen mirroring and 
wireless CarPlay or 
android auto, plus you can put a dedicated SIM card in there for your internet or even calls and you can have your phone connected and the sim in the device so you can get calls on your device and the phone and can answer the calls from the steering 
wheel button or use the touch screen or controller knob in the centre console
