I've never seen CarPlay work properly. 2026 and they still can't make a car play music without jittering like a CD. Every car brand I've rented, every iPhone I've owned, gotta turn that junk off every time.


That’s very odd. I’ve used my phones with 3 different cars regularly using CarPlay every single time I drive for literally a decade without ever experiencing that.

Plus various rental cars!


So I own a new Honda and have either borrowed or rented GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan. If you've only driven say Ford, BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes, VW, I didn't test those.


I own a Ford now, had a Honda and I’m in a relative’s Honda somewhat frequently.

Rented a number of GMs for sure, maybe a Nissan? Some of that is more fuzzy.


Problem is between steering wheel and car seat.


Sorry, next time I'll make sure to use it without being in the car?

This isn't like Linux where the combo of motherboard, kernel version, and day of the week affects your Bluetooth audio, but ok cause n=1. Apple stuff is supposed to just work. Most of it does, but not this.


Just like the article and every other opinion in this thread...
