Anything made/modified by a car manufacturer will be absolute shit. Tesla and Rivian do a decent job from what I’ve heard but one could argue they are more software companies that make cars than the other way around. Also a huge complaint from users on both cars is they want CarPlay/Android Auto. Side note: how is Google so terrible at naming? (Auto/Automotive, it’s like they are trying to be confusing)

Car manufacturers are completely incompetent in this area, just give me a way to put my phone screen on the built in screen, just be a “dumb pipe”. This last the last gasp of failed arm of car makers (software) just like when the carriers lost that battle to Apple/Google.

Apple makes you jump through a large amount of hoops and approvals to allow CarPlay to work. Combine that with the incompetent manufacturers and you get this situation.

The manufacturers still have to make something to run on the screen. The owner may not have a phone, you're federally required to show a backup camera in all situations, etc etc etc.

Not defending anything here, just explaining that it's not as simple as "just" putting up a dumb pipeline.
