Awful if you ask me. Even with the AM branding it's so obvious it was designed by a completely different company. And CarPlay never fails to look cheap and nasty, like a toy UI.

It would perhaps feel right at home in cheapo cars that don't have much for infotainment in the first place - and definitely a step up in functionality for those that don't have nav and streaming media built in - but for a premium vehicle? No way.

Of course, as long as it's optional everyone can choose whether to enable it or not, but Apple isn't providing it for free so you're effectively paying for two extra, worse, infotainment UIs in addition to the OEM one. I would opt out if there was a way.
