> To me the screen is the least interesting part of CarPlay, I was fine with my phone screen when I was using bluetooth. It is more important to me that it's a wired digital protocol that matches the car's built-in controls.
For media playback I agree entirely, TBH I still browse podcasts and music on my phone even while using Android Auto because the app is unrestricted on the phone where over AA it severely limits browsing unless I'm stopped.
For me the screen integration is all about navigation. OEM navigation is almost universally terrible, the few that aren't terrible now will be in 5-10 years when the OEM has moved on to their new system and stops supporting the old, and none of them will ever support something like Waze that offers speed trap alerts.
