I like Apple CarPlay. I like that it simplifies things and I don't have to login with my Google account. But, the head unit I have is super laggy, because it is just a dumb android tablet. Imagine an iPad with an M1 processor. Gosh it would rock.
Or are you using wireless? I don’t know if other vehicles are better but the only times I’ve gotten to try wireless CarPlay the lag drove me nuts. If I plugged it in instead it was great.
