    Is there such a thing? My drive connect subscription just ended and now I just get a glorified ad. I can connect my phone which is fine, but just wondering if there is a standalone adapter with data capability that you just plug in and it works standalone?

    Carplay/android auto should work without the drive connect subscription

    It does work without any subs.

    If you want a stand alone device you can get something like an Ottocast but you would still have to share a wifi connection from your phone so why not just use your phone? The one benefit is that it will play videos however.
