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.

It's fascinating reading all of the responses here. I've never driven a car with Android Auto or CarPlay, and only use my phone for music and maps infrequently while in the car (with an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter). So I guess I don't really know what I'm missing. I have absolutely no doubt that GM's software wouldn't be as good as connecting up to your phone, but I just have a hard time imagining that being the deciding factor on buying a car or not.
