I have a vehicle that's basically a BMW, which has excellent navigation integration with a HUD. Recently, they announced that my vehicle would receive map and software updates, for basically as long as the included modem was functional.
My vehicle doesn't support the carplay to hud stuff, but that's okay. The thing is... when my car stops getting map and traffic updates, I will still be able to switch to carplay for at least the command screen presenting information. I intend on keeping this vehicle for a long time, so that's important to me.
On top of that, carplay offers better bitrate than bluetooth.
For people that wish to keep a vehicle for a long time, carplay/android auto isn't just a convenience anymore. With the increased integration of headunits, aftermarket becomes a tougher sell.
- fragmede 3mo ago> I have a vehicle that's basically a BMW Why not just name the brand?
- AsmaraHolding 3mo agoI assume it's a Toyota Supra
- simondotau 3mo agoIt could also be a Rolls Royce or a Mini.
- OptionOfT 3mo agoOr a Grenadier.
- tryagainian 3mo ago[flagged]
- CraigJPerry 3mo agoThat's just engine and gearbox i believe, not really a BMW. Could be an Alpina
- OptionOfT 3mo agoThe screen is also BMW.
- MBCook 3mo agoIt could be a small brand not sold in the US that a large portion of the audience here wouldn’t recognize.
- fragmede 3mo agoIf only there was a global repository of information about everything that was readily accessible at our fingertips that anyone here could access!
- andsoitis 3mo agoLet’s create such a marvelous thing! What shall we call it?
- leoedin 3mo agoExcluding whatever's going on in China right now, there's just not that many small brands left. You only have to have a passing interest in cars to be aware of pretty much every global car brand - excluding high end supercars, kit car weirdness and whatever mayhem is happening in China.
- aaroninsf 3mo agoI assume it's a MINI, which is made by BMW

- parl_match 3mo agobecause the infotainment system and drivetrain isn't by that brand (which is toyota). the vehicle is, for most intents and purposes, a bmw.
