I'm an android user, so I have no experience with carplay, but personally I'd actually prefer a good standalone internet stereo and navigation system for my car over android auto. I don't really want my car to connect to my phone or stream the display over some weird proprietary protocol. If automakers just can't get their act together to make a proper internet stereo/navigation system, they should develop an open standard allowing third parties to provide it instead. Not halfheartedly farm it out to the tech giants.
