We decided to pit CarPlay and Android Auto against each other and highlight the similarities and differences in various functions like in-car texting and calling, navigation, music playback, and more. Each has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages. With the arrival of Apple Music, and Google Play music’s new look, there’s even more to consider.
Would you ever switch teams and join the Apple fanclub or enlist with the Android Army based purely on what their in-car experience was like? Well, maybe. With both platforms now coexisting in aftermarket systems like Pioneer’s NEX series receivers and Kenwood’s eXcelon, plus auto manufacturers like GM bundling both in many of their 2016 vehicles, many will have to confront such a decision. We hope our comparison helps make that decision-making process just a little bit easier.
