I don’t want to even rent a car without CarPlay. Good luck with that GM.

CarPlay exists fine with knobs and switches. It's just a solid integration for playing audio and having a solid GPS view with Apple Maps/Google Maps/Waze. It doesn't inherently require giving up knobs and switches.

Do do I, but those two things are not mutually exclusive

Some are better than others. You can control CarPlay without touching the screen in Mazdas for example.

I don't think you're using the word "strong" correctly.

Anyway, all you have to do is just NOT plug your phone onto the car.
