I don’t have a vehicle with CarPlay but it is definitely on my list of what I want in a car, if we get one in the future, and a replacement stereo system with Car Play if we don’t.
I am a LOT older than 40, what makes you think age factors into this? Not trying to be a smart ass I’m just curious.

It’s almost 7 years old now, but I have a Toyota Camry that has Entune and Toyota’s nag system and it sucked from day one. The map is DVD based and it was already out of date the first time I drove the car home. I bought it new. After a few attempts at using the voice control to select songs/phone numbers/apps I quickly gave up, only using it to demonstrate to people who were curious why I didn’t recommend Entune. Ask for directions to a restaurant or nearest gas station and you’re not likely to get an answer even remotely associated with your request. Most times it was a “Im sorry I don’t understand “ but occasionally ask for the nearest gas station and it would get directions to a florist. Take Siri at its most ridiculous translations and make it 10 times worse and you’re at Entunes level of accuracy.
Oh, and an updated DVD was-maybe still is-$450 dollars to get more recent map data.
And most of the map controls are locked out if the car is in drive. And voice commands are translated into utter nonsense, which means putting the car into park to manually search for an address or restaurant/business.
Toyota makes good cars, but they don’t make good infotainment systems. I personally think car manufacturers should stay out of the map/entertainment arena and Apple should quit trying to make a car.
