How important is Apple Carplay and Android Auto in your next vehicle?
Thought I'd start a poll/discussion since it's been talked about here and there.

I've never used either one but I would think Android Auto would be far better than many of the systems pushed by car manufacturers. Does anyone know how updates work with regards to Android Auto or Carplay? Let's say there is a new version of Android Auto that gets released, would a Civic get an OTA update from Honda?

For me - just a nice to have, at least for Apple Carplay. I've got it in my truck and find it pretty limited in terms of what apps it works with - priumarily doesn't support Waze which chafes me.

Depending on the type of car. For instance I'm familiar with infotainment system in my cars, so I find apple play redundant and not as good. But when I'm renting a car, its nice when it has apple play, because I don't want to bother learning its infotainment system, I just start up apple play and use that.

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure. Thanks for confirming that!

Dave, have you used Apple Maps lately? It's come a long way since the beginning. With every iOS update Maps keeps getting better. It's very competitive, now.

To me it's a requirement. After experiencing it first hand, especially the ability to text with Apple Car Play, it's invaluable.
I would imagine that demographically speaking, the younger you go, the more of a requirement these features become.

seems there's a distinction between apple carplay and android auto, with android auto being a bit more flexible given what apple doesn't allow?
i've never used either, so i'm asking.
