It's the latency that kills me. Let alone the stupid "you're an idiot if you let this screen distract and kill you" message that pops up, it seems to take a good 10+ seconds to sync with the phone and "come alive".
This is with USB, too.
I want the car to start and CarPlay to be operational; we have no time to be wasting on whatever formalities software wants to have.
Maybe someday wireless CarPlay could start syncing with the system before you even get to the car, so it's already loaded when you sit down and start.

Then, as you sit down and start the car, the infotainment has already booted up and the phone connection comes online almost immediately. Also, during short stops, the screens go black but the connection is kept up, so when you re-start, there is no delay.
- bombcar 2y agoThat’s good to hear - the experiments I’ve had with the wireless CarPlay has been mediocre, but it’s only been a few rentals. Whereas I really did take wired CarPlay into consideration when buying our minivan, there are only so many options that I may have had to compromise.
