Unpopular opinion, but good. I don’t want Apple or Google embedded in my car. Just give me an aux cord / Bluetooth, and I’ll be on my way. Better yet, bring back the DIN/Double-DIN standard so I actually have options.
Lol. The EVs by GM do have Google embedded… The whole system runs on Android. When you buy the care you get 8 free years of Google maps. It’s even more embedded with no optionality for carplay, which is why these kits were developed. So in reality they are going further from what you want not closer.
That and HDMI/video over USB-C. Most smartphones probably support that now. Now your in-car display can look the same as your phone in landscape mode instead of some afterthought UI with minimal functionality.

That’s such a weird concept compared to Android Auto with… indefinite gmaps? The used car market is about to be a nightmare.
It’s because now your car needs a data plan.

Yep; unpopular. I can tell you’ve had a crappy android auto / CarPlay adapter because that crap is GOLD.
