They are notoriously bad. And they don’t get fixed. Got my Subaru and
The radio defaults to SiriusXM every time I turn on the car, even though I do not pay for it and do not want to.
Android Auto and Apple Car Play would cut out regularly
Eventually the entire system would just randomly crash and reboot frequently throughout a trip.

I can’t have both an android and iPhone connected at the same time, because I won’t be able to use Android Auto, I’m forced into Car Play
And on the new cars Subaru made the screen narrow and tall. This effectively reduced the amount of screen space for Android Auto/car play in comparison with prior years.
Add to that the entire display is now needed for HVAC, heated seats, etc and do you really want to depend on a glitchy computer that frequently crashes?

Just got a new work truck, a Ford, with android auto and car play. This morning was the first time I plugged an iPhone and android in at the same time. I had plugged in the android first and a quick look I wasn’t able to switch to the iPhone without unplugging the android. I never plugged the android back in so idk if it prefers one over the other or just whatever is plugged in first. Could that be the same issue?

My mom’s Highlander does the same thing so I think this is just a thing.
