I think everyone else just turns on CarPlay / Android Auto and forgets they have an infotainment system.

Which is great, except on a Tesla where you can't use them

Aside from playing music and texts, I prefer the native functions in my Ford system, over the Android Auto.

Can you name a few? Ford's maps being better than GMaps would be very surprising.

I don't know what the general consensus is, but all I can say is that I prefer the Ford map. For one, it integrates chargers into route planning.

Which can be a great way to save a few bucks in areas of the world that charge higher registration fees for vehicles that have built-in SatNavs. I've had no issues with Android Auto wrt navigation or music.
