bizzle said:We are speaking for ourselves...that's the entire point. Obviously his sentence, "everyone will want" read in context is referring to everyone who wants a radio will want that radio to have carplay or android audio. Clearly he's not arguing that people who don't care about a radio would suddenly want a radio in the future to have advanced features.
You argue in these threads that fast charge is a must have feature and some of us are pointing out that Carplay (which is actually a higher priced feature than the DC Fast Charge option is going to cost) is a more frequently used feature for *us*.
If your emphasis is on safety then you might find it interesting that CarPlay is a lot safer for drivers to use than past phone/headunit integration.
As an example, texting is done completely via voice with CarPlay. Incoming texts are read out loud to the driver and the driver can speak to respond and then that response is transcribed back to the phone.
The phone is plugged in via USB, which enables "Hey Siri," voice activation. One can ask for directions, change music, and change output volume all though voice activation. In fact, it renders the steering wheel controls superfluous (for those SE drivers second guessing what you're missing with the steering wheel controls).
Clearly, you are more Apple geek than I am, or I am far more Luddite than you are. I refuse to pay money for Apple product, I feel it's overpriced for what you get. It is a good stock to own though, the profit margin is fat beyond belief.
