    Yep. I don’t own a car, but I rented one and wanted to give CarPlay a spin for the first time. It was like please enable Siri. I ended up doing it, but became very annoyed with Siri not long after I brought the car back. Would definitely be an issue for me if I owned the thing instead of renting.

    If you do any car shopping, just ask the dealer if you can try it. Would be a good way to verify if what I’m saying is still true.

      That’s fair! Honestly I just want a Bluetooth connection that doesn’t have a 1-2 second delay. Maybe FLAC support from flash drives.

      My current radio plays MPs from flash drives, but won’t let you CHANGE THE SONG if you’re not stopped. So I use my phone via BT, which has this awful delay when doing anything at all.

      With my last car, I used my beloved Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter, which connects instantly, has no delay, and sounds magnificent. I would happily do with this car… BUT THE RADIO DOESN’T HAVE A GOT DANG 3.5MM JACK.

        I think the car I rented could do Bluetooth audio without using CarPlay. I don’t remember how good/bad the delay was though.

        I am genuinely curious… how could it possibly matter if there is a small delay on audio playback?

          Watching video while parked? Impossible.

          Volume down? Enjoy loud.

          Forward? More song. No new song.

          Bad. No delay good.

            The only thing here that reads as English is the video use case. If I ever watched a video in my car I’d identify. But I don’t and may never do that.
