I don't know about CarPlay but Android Auto works good enough with knob controls.

I have a 2014 Mazda3, which Mazda offered Android Auto/CarPlay upgrade for a fee earlier this year and I upgraded. My car has a touchscreen, but disables all touch features above a certain speed (5 or 10 mph I think). I don't think I'm really missing anything on Android Auto without touch.

I hate that kind of nanny stuff, what if you have a passenger and they can control it?

Does it also have a stupid screen that pops up every time you start the car saying, "don't use this while driving", or some such nonsense?
