I dunno why I bothered to get into it. But now my curiosity is enough that I need to know for sure.
Guy said that in order to make a car work with Android Auto or CarPlay, you have to go download the AA app or the CarPlay app to your phone first. Obviously he’s an Android guy. I correct him and say that there’s nothing to download since CarPlay isn’t an app, as it is baked into iOS. He gets defensive and thinks I’m one of those super kool aid drinking Apple zealots and insists that it’s still an application. I think it’s part of the OS, so it’s more of an API to me.
Who’s right?
