    will get outdated and needs dealer updates

    I thought Android Auto and Apple CarPlay both handle updates on the phone side, not the car side?

      I don’t know anything about the software but there surely is some implementation on both sides as I don’t believe it’s just a pretty chromecast/apple version of that interface streamed from the phone.

      And assuming you keep a car for >5 years and the strides tech does at any point (just look back on phones 10 years ago) and Google/Apple developing the platform further and abandoning older models I don’t see a very bright future.

      Assuming I am wrong, I am happy to be corrected.

      Edit: No need to downvote me to hell. I was wrong and corrected >_>

        I think it might literally be a video feed? or similar to an X11 session? I know it doesn’t work over bluetooth and it requires a wire or wifi, so it’s bandwidth heavy for sure

          If that’s actually the case: Neat

          Hope they do not drop support for the APIs to allow access via the interface so cars have a long life.

            There have been CarPlay compatible cars on the market for 8 years now and they work fine with newer iPhones. Hell, Apple still supports the iPod USB protocol for even older cars on new iPhones.

            It’s not much of a concern, in my opinion. And I drive a car with no CarPlay and only built-in infotainment lol
