Nobody under 40 is ever going to buy a new car that doesn’t interface with their phone properly. It’s no longer a luxurious or optional extra, it’s a bare fucking minimum requirement.
It actually feels great. Makes life a lot easier and extremely convenient. All the information of the world at your fingertips. Overall, highly recommend.
I had a couple-year-old Honda pilot for summer vacation, and I was wholly unimpressed with Apple CarPlay. Had to have my phone plugged in, so my wife couldn’t charge without disconnecting nav (admittedly our fault for only having one charging cable). And you could only see one screen at a time: messages, map, or music. I’m sure part of that was the relatively small screen, but it wasn’t intuitive or easy to use at all. I vastly prefer having Apple Music as an app in my current vehicle and using that and the integrated nav rather than my phone.
That’s more an issue with the Honda than the app. My current Carplay is wireless, and there are options to have multiple things on screen at once. My prior car, which was a 2018, had to be plugged in though.
Im late but literally nobody uses either where i live even in cars that have it. Whats the reason u need it over just the Standard Infotainment system?
I literally won’t consider a car if it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay.

Wireless CarPlay is standard on new corollas. At this point, if a new car doesn’t have CarPlay, it’s fair to call it a complete piece of shit
Hell even my motorcycle has AppleCar play, and I gotta say it’s pretty nice!
Not to me
I can’t imagine being that addicted to my cell phone. What does it feel like?

One of your problems here is fixed by having more than one charging cable, and the other isn’t actually a problem: there already is a multi-screen view that shows both music and maps together.

Same here, with the exception of a few specific cars I’d like to buy that were made before CarPlay was a thing.
