    My biggest thing with CarPlay is that I drive a lot of cars. I own two with CarPlay. If I go back and visit my parents both of their cars have it. If you drive a lot of rental cars for work or whatever. I get in, plug in my phone, and boom. Now every car’s radio looks identical and I can pick up whatever I was doing last time(podcast, book, playlist, etc). I don’t have to fumble through Bluetooth pairing menus or familiarize myself with whatever infotainment software they have for a ton of different makes of cars.

      Ah, got it. I’ve never used either of those things so I’ve never had that issue.

          Not sure how you haven’t had to familiarize yourself with whatever radio the manufacturer sticks in your face.

          I just turn the knob to NPR. 🤷 Apart from knowing the frequency there’s no familiarizing needed.
