I'm sorry...
Please forgive me.
I just wanted to ask, if you were driving the car, wouldn't there always be a dedicated knob behind the wheel?
It will replace the car existing dashboard?. Can I just have "basic" carplay with waze, spotify and phone and leave the rest of the car info to the actual car vendor?. I don´t feel too confiden on having to rely on my phone to see the speed or adjust the climate...
How about making a phone that actually works fine?, for example, that lets the user edit a misstyped or copied phone number in the phone app?, or a better keyboard? (all keyboards in the appstore are limited by what Apple decides about sizes and more).

I see your point, Tesla may be an exception, but they are more or less are a monopoly unless you count hybrid cars
I just hope we can choose to operate Carplay without having to cover the entire dash with cartoon-like smartphone graphics. If not, that'll be one less "feature" that I'll use with my iPhone. I can't imagine anyone who has paid for an expensive luxury car actually wanting to see some Apple geek's idea of what a dashboard should look like.
I just got another car for my business, it's 2023 Kia Niro plug-in hybrid and the built in navigation and system are just as good as CarPlay which for some reason my fully loaded model doesn't support wireless CarPlay, but the base model does... I think because it has navigation based self driving cruise control where it changes speed limits but doesn't through CarPlay? but it does have apple car key and wireless charging... I don't understand that it can't do wireless CarPlay but like I said the built in nav is fabulous??? I usually listen to Sirius anyway. I'll just upgrade to something else in a year or so with the new CarPlay if it's worth it... it's a huge tax savings for me to buy a car every year or 2.
I was going to get a Tesla or another brand electric but I'll just wait for the apple car if it ever exists. As it is I won't need to ever even put gas in this plug in hybrid unless I go on a road trip, it goes 33 miles on electric. I really need to get rid of some of my older cars its a parking lot out there 😂

VW has had carplay for many years, an early adopter. And with digital cockpit now in most model trims, carplay2 will be supported.
But their digital cockpit pro already does a lot of this without carplay.
If you currently own a car, that car is almost certainly not going to get this new version of CarPlay. Outside of Tesla, there’s almost no manufacture that retroactively adds features to older cars.
I have a 23 Hyundai ioniq with two perfect screens for this and I have 0 hope that I’ll be getting this. I’d love it, but no faith.
Now they need more support for Apple Carkey, the offerings are paltry
This is all very nice, but I still like to have things like Air Conditioning, Audio Volume ... controlled by buttons that I can use without watching at these, as capacitive flat screen is not the right interface for these.
You can bet your a$$ that the listed car makers won’t do a software upgrade and will make you buy a new car. One thing I really like about Tesla. No way Audi will do it. They’ve hobbled cars for years and have made be upgrade cars to get something new that probably could have been a software update.

This is all well and good, but unless I can use Waze and Spotify, I'll continue too use my iPhone in the car.
All touch interface for cars = horrible
Seeing as my dash never crashes, and CarPlay frequently does, I think I'll stick to using my built-in dash for critical purposes and CarPlay for media and navigation only...
If you look at the Apple video for this product, you will see a car that has a rectangle display in the center of the dash. That’s the Ford display design. Also in the video is a car that has a long wide display. That’s the new BMW design. As seen in the iX.
No manufacturer is required to remove all the touch buttons. Look at the 2023 GMC Yukon to see what you can do.
You say that like it is a good thing. I just purchased a VW ID.4 and it has almost no physical buttons and knobs. Fortunately, there are still dedicated touch buttons, they can be difficult to locate, especially in the dark. It is one of the very few things that I don't particularly like about the car. (But, I love almost everything else about this car.)
Weird. CarPlay from my XR has never crashed in the Mazda I bought this year.
