GM's replacement for CarPlay is due at the end of 2023, but its dealers are in the dark about when that will be and what it will do to sales when buyers figure it out.

I mean, people who don't care about their radio that much? Honestly, long as I have Bluetooth or an aux port, I'm good.

Not that I don't like Android Auto or wouldn't prefer to have it, but the lack of it wouldn't be an absolute deal breaker

    Being able to use Google maps (which is constantly updated, integrated with my contacts, and actually had a UI/UX team design it's interface) on the tablet sized vehicle display and car stereo system, in addition to whatever music apps, is pretty nice. As well as Google search via steering wheel controls for managing navigation.

    Yeah, I could play stuff with Bluetooth or use the integrated GPS system but the quality of audio is noticably worse and the GPS is absolutely shit but nice to have in a pinch.

    Honestly idk what other apps integrate with AA, music and directions pretty much do the trick for me.
