Well, first of all carplay completely takes control over all phone related controls in my new Audi A4 (b9). It shuts down bluetooth (uses usb-cable instead) and also disables integration with the virtual cockpit and steering wheel buttons for phone functions.
That means I have to use the central display to control anything phone related and also use the big control wheel knob to manipulate settings. That makes things slow.. Also Siri doesn't allow any kind of view into old sms messages and the new ones are read out loud. But problem with Siri is that I'm finnish & live in Finland.. so I get lot of sms in finnish. And Siri is almost useless in finnish [emoji23]
If it would allow control via cars native systems, I could at least read the sms from the central display..
Android Auto doesn't disable anything, all native controls work - in dash virtual cockpit, steering wheel buttons, read sms on big central disply etc etc
Granted Android isn't perfect either, but at the moment it's far less annoying and the problems are basically bugs so they'll get ironed out in time. For Apple it's the way their software was designed to function.. change isn't likely.
