Why do you need CarPlay or Android Auto? I'm using my car without any of them and it's perfectly fine. I get calls with Bluetooth and I can play music with Bluetooth too, both from a Samsung and an iPhone. I navigate by looking at my phone on a holder close to the wheel. The screen of the car is further to the right.


I have a different use case. I use voice controls to reply to text messages.

And it has to work with iMessage destinations that are not a phone number. I am unaware of any built-in infotainment system that can handle that. Tesla certainly cannot, as one data point.

Trying to get voice control to work reliably over bluetooth has never been anything but a laggy mess for me. A well implemented CarPlay implementation (even GM...) is way better.
