New car depreciation question

Only GM, other than Tesla and Rivian who never supported it.

All the other manufacturers have said they have no plans to remove or limit CarPlay or Android Auto.

I think VW too, or maybe just their EVs. My son has been complaining that whatever software VW preloads on their ID4s is slow and full of bugs. He worked in computer IT and has explored hacking into the system to put Android Auto in.

I thought about adding it to our older lexus and there were actually aftermarket integration modules available on ebay, never got around to actually trying one though.

Depending on the year sub 2024(I think) it's been well documents how low it was due to the lack of CPU power and there are hacks out there to trim the apps to gain cpu/ram back to. 2024+ got an upgraded CPU and ram so it's supposed to be better/

They still have CarPlay and don't plan on stopping it. I just got back from a car show and asked around — only GM was a firm no. However, they confirmed their software will be Android-based and should support the same apps available in the Play Store, though it’ll obviously be a subset like it is now. Apple Music will be supported, but not Apple Maps and probably not Apple Home, which has more to do with Apple than GM.
