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.

My car has CarPlay where my last car didn’t. I’ll tell you now, I won’t get another car without it.

So says literally everyone I have ever seen comment on the matter. Seriously, is there anyone out there that has tried CarPlay/AndroidAuto and said "eh, I don't see the point"?

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

The radio means almost nothing to me. The ability to have my choice of mapping app on the dash is 90% of the value and absolutely indispensable.
