GM's replacement for CarPlay is due at the end of 2023, but its dealers are in the dark about when that will be and what it will do to sales when buyers figure it out.

Thanks, that seems pretty cool! Not a whole lot more than what I can currently do with my phone on a holder, assuming it isn't using Android auto for the Bluetooth connection and I just don't know. it already reads texts aloud and can do calls from the car screen, and music can be controlled through it too. I think there is a way to speak back to it too but we've never bothered to do the voice recognition training on it

All that bullshit goes away with android auto and carplay. Your car simply is your phone UI, so no more needing to train it, integrate it, sync it, etc.. It just does everything as well as your phone does, because it is your phone.
