Files like devices are often tempting to some people, but their use is not eternal and they tend to change to other devices at any time.

This support, for example, makes it easier to navigate through unknown areas by accessing GPS or applications such as Waze and Google Maps. It also sets the party good, because you can choose the music device on the way.
