There are so many automakers out there that should be beyond embarrassed at this point. Why? It's because their infotainment systems are atrocious. I have Apple CarPlay in my car and to be perfectly frank, it makes every built-in car infotainment system I've ever tried seemed ancient. And I've tried them all... even the newer ones like systems from Mercedes and Tesla.
Being able to have all of your iPhone's main apps accessible right on your car's display is so great. CarPlay offers a simple interface and quick access to all the core functionality you might need. On top of that, it supports Siri as well as third-party apps that are must-haves in your car. I cannot tell you how excited I was when Waze first came to CarPlay and now I seriously can't drive anywhere without it. CarPlay even supports a widget view so you can have an animated map in one big widget while things like your music player and phone controls are off to the side.
If I stop to think about it, there's really only one problem I have with CarPlay in my car: it's the simple fact that my vehicle doesn't support Apple's newer wireless CarPlay feature, so I have to plug in my iPhone with a physical cable to use CarPlay. At least, that was the case until I found the Carlinkit 2.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter on Amazon.
