Everyone loves their T2 until they need to boot from external media. And you will. You will... I like security, but I like *ME* deciding what level of security I want or need, not Apple. If I like sleeping with my windows open is my choice. I don't want anyone saying to me 'dude close your windows, you might get robbed' or even worse, someone actually nailing my windows shut and saying 'it is not safe to have windows at your house, screw you.'.

I'm pretty sure that the cost of licensing CarPlay / AA is far far far far far less than the cost of developing their own infotainment system. Years ago every car had their own interpretation of the infotainment screen, some worse than the others. All of them had to license Tom Tom, Pandora and others, plus develop in house their terrible UI software. CarPlay is a SAVING for these companies, not an expense, as it is Apple / Google the ones that work the hard parts of the ecosystem and let the car manufacturers just pop a screen in the dash with minimal effort. Heck, in my older Mazda CX5 a bunch of bored guys implemented a working unauthorized Android Auto hack into the system in a few months of work.
