And this is why people demand CarPlay, and why automakers continue to refuse to put CarPlay/Android Auto support in their vehicles.
I will never buy a vehicle that doesn't support it, nor would I ever buy one that locks it behind a subscription.
If I need to I'll keep older cars alive to avoid the enshittification. Older vehicles are easier to repair and maintain anyway.

Most aren't refusing, and only GM is attempting to backtrack on support right?
Even some of the fancy pants all technology automakers are putting it in their cars, like Lucid: https://lucidmotors.com/knowledge/vehicles/air/lucid-air-in-...
Yeah it's gotten better than it used to be recently (outside of Tesla and GM).
Rivian, Tesla, GM.
But within the other manufacturers it's model dependent, it's still not universal across all models. Toyota and Nissan both have a large line up without CarPlay in the base models. Same with Honda, some trims won't have it.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few as well, though I wouldn't be surprised to see BMW back out like GM with the direction BMW wants to go with subscriptions as well.
What cars dont support it?
