A point that seems lost to some of the commenters is that CarPlay and Android Auto are not replacements for the car's in-dash infotainment system; they are in an addition to it and allow access to a subset of apps on your smartphone thru the in-dash touchscreen.  You may choose to use CarPlay, for example, to stream Pandora for music or Maps for navigation. However, you’ll be hard pressed to find a car that has a touchscreen and doesn’t have a built-in infotainment system (i.e. you’re paying for the infotainment system whether you use it or not)
