Lets have a vote, will you be optioning Apples CarPlay or AndroidAuto?

I assume current phone choices will mainly dictate the choice... will infotainment choice end up dictating future phone choices??

we can debate the pros and cons too, although I don't imagine the two will vary much...

Thats an intersting point actually...will it be possible to root your android car? Its one thing in your phone, but in a car where the systems are so codependent will they risk the contagion?

I severely doubt any of the infotainment systems on the market with AA and Carplay will have that level of customization/freedom. They keep the infotainment features locked down so people don't mess with them.

So do I, but I also don't doubt that someone will 'jailbreak' the systems...

found this gizmodo review of apple car play.... http://reviews.gizmodo.com/apple-carplay-review-siris-a-boring-but-useful-travel-1732548238

Like a responsible driver, I take a minute to get situated before I hit the gas pedal. So I queued up a Spotify playlist—something I used to do with a semi-functional FM radio transmitter that plugged into my phone—and looked up my destination in Maps, where I found a surprise. There is no keyboard in CarPlay. When you go to search for a destination, Maps pull up your favorite addresses, and if you tap the search icon, Siri asks you where you want to go. Say an address or “Siri take me home” or whatever, and the Siri charts the way. Pick a route and tap start, and Siri tells you where to turn. Of course, the navigation is only as good (or bad) as it is on your iPhone. Apple Maps has improved over the years, but I still prefer Google Maps which you can’t use with CarPlay—not yet, anyways.
