2021 CarPlay vs Android Auto! 3 x head-to-head tests & walkthrough

Рет қаралды 474,308

Күн бұрын

We test CarPlay and Android Auto head-to-head. Both offer wireless and wired connectivity and Apple has recently updated CarPlay (iOS 14) to include customisable wallpapers. In this video Paul Maric will run you through a guide on how to connect Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the basic features of each, plus a head-to-head test to see which performs better at basic functions.
We have used the Skoda Superb Scout to show you how all of this works. The Skoda uses a wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto interface. Some cars come with their wired or wireless integrations, the full list of compatible vehicles is in the links below.
Our three head-to-head tests include:
- Calling my aunty...with a very ethnic name!
- Finding an EV charging station near me
- Directing me to a holiday destination 16 hours drive away

Great review. To me the key thing about these systems is you are shifting the technology from the car to the phone. Phones are getting updated all the time, both in the OS & the hardware, whereas that almost never happens with car tech. So something like the built-in GPS in a car is going to seem pretty flash when the car is new, but in 5-10 years time is going to be completely out of date.

Waze is not bad but Google Maps helps dynamically adapting to routes and better telling which lanes I should stay on exits etc.. Waze, in other hand gives me choices to get roads with HOV, and a better idea o what’s going on which road. Back to Google Maps, it’s pretty good to tailor multiple destinations through voice control where Waze messed up. Both with some pros and cons. Apple Maps is just bad and leaves a feel it had some potential. Why worry if you have way more reliable options for free?

@spectre4627 3 жыл бұрын

I use both system on my car (Note 20 and Iphone 11 pro max) and this is my honest feedback: Android: Pros: More simplistic, faster and allows more apps to be used. Google maps is well optimized since its android after all although I often use waze, better voice command recognition, helpful traffic and weather updates, higher resolution I like my screen in HD. Cons: Music streaming apps like (Pandora and Spotify) for some reason, doesn't show all of your music. I think this is because Android is forcing us to use KZfaq Music (consipracy lol). Black background is too boring and flat for me (personal preference). Call quality isn't great but not bad. Apple: Pros: User interface is much better and you can change the background which is nice, music streaming apps are perfect, widgets are really useful so you can see everything in one screen like your nav, music and notifs. Superb call quality. Cons: Pixelated screen ugh! Siri is trash and slow. Conclusion: I like using applecarplay on long rides because usually I only need Waze and Spotify because everything else is planned. Short rides I prefer the android auto, you get a ton of info around you and google maps real time updates are awesome. Hope this helps!

@@huawafabe We got ours in December and it does support wireless AA. And yeah it does drain the battery a bit. Even when wirelessly charging at the same time the battery goes down, which is disappointing. I still use wireless AA all the time though, it's so handy.
