There are a bunch of CarPlay devices on Amazon, for example, with all kinds of screens, designed for Tesla and other cars that don't support it, that cost about $200 for a nice one. Why not just buy one of those and who cares if it's natively supported?


In most cases it puts the CarPlay screen in a more difficult to reach location than the OE screen.

The one that interests me now is the one that selectively takes over the Tesla screen.


Plus it’s not going to integrate with your steering wheel controls, navigation system, or anything else.

Those are a great solution for a car that doesn’t have an infotainment screen.

But Teslas, Rivians, and GMs all do. So why should anyone have to do that?


Why buy a car where you need to do this and get a more janky experience, when you can buy one with it integrated, with no downsides?
