Apple's risky bet on CarPlay

Any idea when #2 was released? I have a 2019 Honda. Android Auto can use the instrument panel as a second screen but CarPlay cannot. I miss seeing the next-turn distance countdown right in front of me.

I know it requires both sides to support it. My car originally didn’t but a later update to my car enabled it.

I don’t know when the first car got that, it’s possible it simply didn’t exist when yours was made. Or maybe it did and they just didn’t bother? I don’t know.

My car doesn’t have the version where it just shows Apple Maps, which I would love. Instead the next turn/etc. is clearly being sent to the cars operating system because it gets displayed the same way the cars internal navigation stuff does on the screen behind the wheel.

I have a 2023 rav4 prime and it shows apple maps directions in the instrument cluster and HUD, maybe that counts?
