GM’s replacement for CarPlay is due at the end of 2023, but its dealers are in the dark about when that will be and what it will do to sales when buyers figure it out.

    Hmm. I really am struggling trying to predict the outcome here.

    On the one hand, we have a ubiquitous FREE interface that is mature and works via your phone (that 99% of people already have and are familiar with with their own custom music playlists) and is updated constantly.

    On the other hand, we have a PAID interface that sucks donkey dick in usability with little to no customization or upgrade ability and will need to be managed completely separately from your phone.

    The entire executive team should be escorted out of GM headquarters after receiving swirlies.

      I predict no car rental companies will buy these cars because renters would demand a different vehicle.
