I think you need to upgrade your phone. I have never had these issues with a (more or less recent) iPhone.

The idea that I have to upgrade my perfectly working phone to get a better infotainment experience sounds ridiculous.

Also, as I stated, I'm perfectly fine with the out-of-the-box experience of the infotainment in both my cars.

There's radio, there's maps, that's all I really need.

If it's sluggish then it's not working perfectly.

The infotainment is sluggish not the phone.

That's really odd. As far as I know carplay just sends video data to the screen and the screen shows it. It's like an hdmi cable in that regard. I would say it's a problem with your car, then. My volkswagen has absolutely no issues with carplay.

Spoken by someone who's never had to troubleshoot HDCP handshake issues with hdmi cables.
