Good advice, Thanks.

I did buy a used phone at the thrift store and put that in the car so I had a clock.

Added plus of the cell phone is it can also still call 911 even without a sim as long as you take it off airplane.

Or at least it should be able to, changing the OS could impact that

The town I live in is 3 blocks long. The fire department is in the middle block. I can crawl to the ambulance.

Mind you the issue here is that an old Android phone will likely have an outdated kernel. Even if there is a custom ROM for it. Leaving you vulnerable, which isn't great.
