Maybe a dumb question, but do companies often support -both- AndroidAuto and AppleCar play? Or do they do lock-ins and partnerships...because if they lock you in, it really defeats the purpose.

There are very few who support one but not both, BMW most prominently (CarPlay only).

Toyota is testing out Carplay but not Android auto in one of their new cars, citing lack of security.

Which sounds more like they got a better deal from Apple.

my 2016 VW Golf supports Carplay, AndroidAuto and a 3rd solution (like Miracast but for autos).
