- noirbot 3y agoI haven't had any real issues with Mazda over the years? I got it installed by them on a 10 year old car a few years ago and had no issues that weren't "the entire system wouldn't turn on" issues with a flaky battery or heat/cold extremes. The initial load time isn't stellar, but it loads into the phone interface cleanly and all the physical car buttons interface well with the phone. No complaints.
- nneonneo 3y agoSecond this, I am extremely happy with CarPlay on my Mazda. There are lots of physical controls that just work naturally with CarPlay. No need to use touch controls!
- ausaus 3y agoVW Passat 2019 is very good with Android Auto and Carplay, now that I've got it connected. Pixel 4a needed a specific cable which did not work with a Pixel 6a. No cable worked so I now use a Motorola wireless connector and it works well with both phones.
- tirant 3y agoBMW has wireless support for both and even displays navigation instructions in their HUD. I still consider the native infotainment system, iDrive, a much better experience.
