  To be fair to GM (and this is tough because I really dislike their products) the multiple screens in a modern vehicle often control everything, including the HVAC, and having some Chinese company try to reverse engineer something that fits in the dashboard and also plays nice with the CAN bus based system running the car is not easy. If they were tired of paying royalties to Apple, there is at least 1 aftermarket "Carplay compatible" system available that's often on the cheap Android head units you can buy from AliExpress, so I don't think it's money. I think it's more to do with being able to honour the warranties on the vehicle. Dealer fitted accessories have occasionally stepped over the line, the customer doesn't care because "it came with the car" and the dealerships will try to make extra money any way they can, which are both things that GM see as an extra cost.

    As far as I know Apple doesn't charge car companies to use carplay?
