GM's replacement for CarPlay is due at the end of 2023, but its dealers are in the dark about when that will be and what it will do to sales when buyers figure it out.

I was going to buy a car with either CarPlay, or with a standard Double-DIN radio so I could easily upgrade it.

I ended up with the best of both worlds. The factory radio has CarPlay and adequate user-upgradable factory maps and has a double-DIN form factory. Aftermarket Facias are available to accommodate a standard 7” screen upto a 10” screen.

What car did you end up with?

I traded my bush-pig Grand Vitara and my shitbox TK Barina and bought a new Suzuki Jimny.

I find that it has the economy of the Daewoo and the off-road ability of the lifted Grand Vitara. It has very spartan driver assistance, enough to help but not enough to get in the way.
