I feel I'm in such a minority. I don't want my vehicle to become an extension of my phone. I get in my vehicle and put the phone down. I don't need my text messages read to me, I don't need anything on my phone while driving. I can answer texts/phone calls etc when I get where I'm going. I have satellite radio, and with that I'm good to go. Even if I wanted a podcast or audio book, I could still stream that via bluetooth. Carplay gains me nothing. I don't get the fascination with having it.

the only thing I really use in Apple Car Play is the map app. Better than paying Ford for outdated connected navigation.I feel I'm in such a minority.
