I don’t want to even rent a car without CarPlay. Good luck with that GM.
there is a strong demographic of us which hate that shit. knobs and switches gang
CarPlay exists fine with knobs and switches. It's just a solid integration for playing audio and having a solid GPS view with Apple Maps/Google Maps/Waze. It doesn't inherently require giving up knobs and switches.
Some are better than others. You can control CarPlay without touching the screen in Mazdas for example.
I don't think you're using the word "strong" correctly.
Anyway, all you have to do is just NOT plug your phone onto the car.
