It will certainly discourage me from buying GM.  I avoided Toyota until they finally gave up and opened CarPlay and Android Auto (which is also in this mix).  The functionality of having maps remember my lookup or next calendar item and having my content on screen is a non negotiable now.  It’s sad to read this as my first CarPlay experience was on a GM rental.  I suspect they will get to repeat Toyotas poor experience with entine.  I can only hope that some sort of agreement can be reached between Apple and the manufacturers now that Apple has finally ditched the car project.

Savings note - you can buy Apple gift cards (formerly iTunes cards) at discounts or with kickbacks(eg Best Buy or target gift card if you buy Apple is a frequent promo) or in some places stack grocery store fuel points and credit card category bonuses.  Once loaded on your Apple ID they’ll use that “discounted” money first. 

Any indication if the tips are interchangeable with the original?  I use foam tips to address the falling out issue mentioned.

Just my opinion but I think Apple should support it but in a new color. RCS is an improvement over SMS although not as secure as iMessage.  Still SMS is so old I’d rather an RCS chat with a droid than SMS.
