Mercedes won't use Apple's next-gen CarPlay because it doesn't want to "give up the whole cockpit head unit" Comments

Either way is bad using too much cloud, intrusive software, Apple would bully the MB owners with mandatory updates, notifications, processing power needs which drag down the car hardware after only 2 years. Actually, it is better to feel a difference from MB after paying so much on a Mercedes. If you like triviality, buy a Korean or Chinese car.

Anonymous, 29 Apr 2024Typical arrogant German automakers. They deserve their self-induced downfall.If Apple charged a reasonable price, maybe Mercedes would consider it. There are always other options. Apple are greedy bastards, it's evident in the Apple Store and its policies on content creators. I hope the EU slaps them with another big fine at least it makes the EU richer if they don't learn.

It is most likely tied to software inadequacy on Mercedes part - they would have to get their software to a decent, stable level, support it with constant updates and patches and figure out what information would they share with CarPlay/Android Auto - just imagine driving a Mercedes and your phone constantly reporting minor and major errors in systems ... like a good OBD2.

No matter how much you polish a turd, it still remains a turd. And if you take into account Mercedes's notorious reliability, it becomes another reason to look elsewhere.

That's like the whole point of CarPlay, to not deal with carmakers' bullcrap and just relying on our phones for infotainment

Well,apple should get such treatments more often to make them feel less delusional about themselves also.
