NEW 2019 Android Auto VS Apple Carplay - REAL WORLD TEST 

Android Auto vs Apple CarPlay Round 4. Who wins this one?

It’s good that you guys keep re-doing these videos. They have come a long way since they came out.

The non-full screen is 100% vehicle dependent. My fiance's 2019 Mazda 3 hatch uses the FULL SCREEN with AA.

I have an Apple but I’m having trouble with face recognition... any advice?

Hold up did he say "typical Android thing to do" because they "copied" apple carplay, bruh apple does the same thing x10 and no one bats an eye

Android Auto wins because Android auto can control Spotify. CarPlay can't EDIT: It seems that Apple has updated CarPlay to support Spotify, I no longer own an iPhone so I cannot test that for myself

You forgot that if lets say your wife plugs in her phone and she has an IPHONE. You cannot use any other APP on the phone itself while using navigation because it will minimize the navigation on car play. Also anything you do on the the car screen will also mimic a function on the phone.. This means if you swap between screens on car play it will interrupt whatever your wife is doing on her phone..... Android lets you use navigation and multi task on the phone without issue at all .. so if your passenger is linked up you can use nav from their phone while they use their phone for other things...

That's incorrect, you don't have to connect to Bluetooth first with Android Auto. When you plug it in it connects to Bluetooth seamlessly. @thestraightpipes

Do a round 5 when iOS 13 comes out. CarPlay is so much different.

Siri sounded better 👍 But You can set Google assistant voice to John legend Sooo...

You can change the voices in android. .. so that's not a point for apple.

Android, maps are the most important aspect to me.

Should have installed iOS 13 beta for this video, CarPlay has changed a lot.

"typical android" to copy apple? Really? Like ... REALLY?!

Erm, the Bluetooth connection is automatic on Android Auto. It is an option in settings.

Siri won't control a number of 3rd party apps like Google Assistant does

I just have to connect my phone through USB and Android auto itself connect to Bluetooth and everything, i don't have to manually do that

Yuri happy as hell to say android did something apple already did 🤣🤣 what are you at now? Apple: 3 Android: 35

This series is honestly one of my favorite things you've done over the years. It would be great if you did more side-by-side comparisons for entertainment stuff.

Hi guys, you did nice job as always, but I was a little bit disappointed that you didn't mentioned the new feature of Android Auto: If you are on the media facet, current navigation will be shown bottom of the screen as small notification bar.(non wide screen). And if you are on the map facet, then media controller is shown bottom of the screen..! I think this is most important feature for this new design at all..!

I absolutelly love the way you do this!! I was smiling the through the whole video :) There is a little bit of competition, but there is no loosing or winning side, its just a game, nothing serious and i love this

In a Jaguar calling for the inevitable tow truck would have been a more appropriate test.

Great video guys. Following my original earlier comment about CarPlay in iOS13 beta, these are the new noteworthy features: 1. Additional video stream support to show information in the cars built in gauge cluster or hud. (Vehicle dependent) 2. Independent app views so you can use a different app on your phone to what’s displaying on the cars screen. (Handy if you’re the passenger and still want to use your phone whilst the nav is on) 3. Redesigned home screen with new dashboard and a new light theme option. 4. A new settings app on the CarPlay screen for adjusting the new light/dark mode etc. 5. A much smaller and less intrusive Siri interface. 6. Tweaked and much better looking music UI. 7. You can now pinch pan and zoom on the map which you couldn’t do in iOS 12 as you showed. 8. I’m pretty sure you can now use Siri to control google maps if you specify you want google maps, although I haven’t personally tested that yet. 9. There’s a bunch more just go look on Apple’s website, iOS 13 preview and look under ‘All New Features’ where it lists all the new features, and then look for CarPlay, it’s quite a way down the page. www.apple.com/ios/ios-13-preview/features/ I’ve been using the iOS 13 public beta since beta 2 and the new features and tweaks to CarPlay are massive for me, it’s changed the whole experience and taken CarPlay from being good the being downright unbeatable. It’s that good in my opinion. Android Auto just caught up to where CarPlay was/is currently in iOS 12, but when iOS 13 drops for the public it’s going to leapfrog Android Auto all over again, the new update really has finished CarPlay off nicely. Please do another video like this when iOS 13 drops in September, it’s definitely worth a revisit because they’ve basically fixed all of the little gripes you still have with CarPlay.

I can control all of my smart home devices attached to Google Home from my car! "Hey google! Cool my living room! " or "Hey Google! Turn the Boiler on!" and much more....

I liked the older android auto interface better than this poor carplay clone. It was much simpler and easy to use while driving. Now you have to look at 20 icons to launch apps.

The winner is Android auto in my opinion . That map on apple car play is a trash. It is unuseable while driving.

Tell me they changed it so you can actually fiddle through Spotify with out getting shut down for safety

Am I the only one who likes the old android Auto, I like the main screen that shows my notifications with gps at the top then song playing and messages and calls. The only apps I care about while driving is music, maps, and phone. And the old android layout had it set up nicely with no clutter. Just a simple menu at the bottom and that's it. On my car Android auto fills the whole screen also.

CarPlay is great, except for when it’s not. I’ve used CarPlay in both a Honda and a Subaru. Both systems have issues with the volume getting stuck (usually at a high setting) when CarPlay is enabled. CarPlay doesn’t always seem to integrate smoothly with the manufacturers’ proprietary software. There’s definitely room for improvement.

Android auto will be the winner always cause you get it on devices that cost a fraction of and iPhone.

I prefer Android Auto although I dont like Apple products, so I guess Im biased

Should have waited until ios13 Apple CarPlay has change a great deal

I have a 2017 Si. And my whole android auto screen goes all the way across. Next video try using a new civic. #TeamAndroid

In smartphone world it's Apple following Android.

Android Auto has always had icons at the bottom of the screen.

Android auto works full screen on my 2017 Audi

Can you guys review the Acura TL Type S please!!! Btw big longtime fan of the channel keep the growth and the good work!!

I think you need to use this while driving, since that's the point of Android auto and Apple car play.

The widescreen problem is only in some cars. My ford fiesta uses the whole screen, so i guess it's jaguar problems.

The new android auto version jumps straight into your prefered navigation app, and it can also start the music automatically. You should've mentioned that in the video

You can also change the voice of your Android auto to your favorite celeb

I agree with other posters, widescreen is vehicle dependent. My Ford Fusion allows Android Auto widescreen and looks way better than that Jag.

I’m curious about your reasons for not liking Apple maps. I think it works very well.

Shoulda waited another month until the new Carplay with iOS 13 is released. It’s also completely different.

Both systems kick ass. The real question should be why doesn't all the manufacturers support them yet.

I appreciate these videos but I think the big issue here is the car that's being used. I've got a 2018 Cadillac XTS that has both and they both fill the entire screen 🤷🏾‍♂️ In regards to the assistant voice they both have options to change how they sound so yes there are more natural sounding options available. I'm not a fan of either of the icon setups but I do appreciate having widgets. I also love having a map that can be used the same as if on the phone. All that being said neither is worth the hassel compared to my cars actual built in functionality. Oh and one other thing.... why in the world would you need to use bluetooth when you have your phone directly connected via USB? I don't need to use bluetooth with my android auto connection. It sounds like the car's interface is the issue here and not the app itself.

I'd say that maps feature (being able to pinch and move) is the most important. Therefore I gotta go with Android Auto. These are driving assistants after all

There’s a new Apple CarPlay now, Round 5, please

As owner to both, Android Auto allows interactions with third party apps using Assistant while iOS tries it's best to NOT interact with any third party apps. For example, I can say "play song on Spotify, accept and respond to Facebook Messenger, etc" I am testing iOS 13 CarPlay and it is better with it finally having Dolby Atmos. The sound profile is way clearer and fuller playing Spotify but it is still buggy with Waze but is becoming more stable with every new beta update.

Not sure if anyone ever noticed this and I know Android auto or car play are supposed to be designed for hands-free but in the event that you were using your phone while hooked up to the car, Android auto takes the win on this because it allows you to multitask without changing the screen on the dash Apple screwed that up and it's very hard to use an Apple phone if at all while it's plugged into the dash. This was tested with navigation displayed on the dashboard while trying to use the phone for other things.

Android all the way. How many times will you be using maps in a car.

ANDROID as I demand flexibility to utilize some preferences plus my car lacks a widescreen (that be a negative of the car first) haha!

I really like these types of videos. Keep it up! Android still wins.

You can change the voice for Android auto - there are voices in every language as well. I have a woman with a lovely Australian Accent and she sounds PERFECTLY CLEAR.

Watched a couple of your videos for the first time and very entertaining. I've been using Apple products since the mid 80's but I have to say when it comes to my car and phone I'm definitely digging Android Auto. Love in particular the full access to google maps. Can't beat it.

Cant pinch to zoom.. Big time fail.. The superior Android wins again

They say that android normally takes stuff from Apple but android is always doing stuff first

Apple car play. Let’s see iOS 13

The first one to offer full support for video (while parked!) gets the win. People spend lots of time in their cars parked (eating, waiting for someone, charging their EV, waiting for or riding on a ferry, car camping, etc.), and they should be able to watch Netflix, RU-vid, and other streaming video services.

After 10 years with Apple I'm finally free. Zero points for Apple forever!

The widescreen on Apple Carplay made it look too chunky. You want those icons as close to the driver as possible, while giving DJ duty to your passenger, which Android did perfectly there.

This may not be the best place to ask but since the AA update my experience has drastically changed. I called Google, extensively browsed the AA help forums and cannot for the life of me find why the previously simple commands no longer work. I say "ok Google, text XYZ," and the system responds "I don't know how to help with 'text XYZ." I used to say "ok Google, what's on my calendar today," or "ok Google, call XYZ" but now Google can't help. The list goes on. I'm perplexed that something that always worked brilliantly now cannot do the simplest of things. How did this break? I didn't make any changes.

In the old Android Auto, I just connect to my car's USB socket and Bluetooth starts automatically; I usually don't have Bluetooth running. Once connected, it also turns off WiFi. When I disconnect, WiFi reactivates. It's pretty good that way.

Great video series. You guys looked so much younger at 1:10.

Android Auto is still better than the Car Play.

Another Android Auto vs CarPlay coming after iOS13

These are little bit picks for the most part. But what good is apple car play if you can't hands free use maps? You have to look down and open Google maps now and then look again to click the tall button. Android auto you just click the tall button on the steering wheel. Tell it where to go and it brings it all up for you.

google maps being so difficult to use on car play is SUCH a deal breaker

I've been using iOS 13 carplay..... It's in another league. Can't wait till your next video!

Yuri's too much of an apple fanboy to be taken seriously.

I thought I share this comment post from a Maxwell Hopkins to help people who can not get their AA to update to the new one - this is his comment "FYI to those of you who had version 5.92 but couldn't access the new Android Auto. If you go to settings within the Android Auto app, down to 'Version and permission info' and tap on that 7 times like you would your phone settings, you unlock developer mode which unlocks the option to 'Try the new Android Auto' which will then appear at the top of the settings inside the app " I follow his directions and it worked

The side bar isn't that big of a deal. It's a great area for widgets like music to be placed while also making the clock bigger and easier to read while also minimizing the info that can go there

The fact that apple maps was not even used, automatically a point deduction. Also, since both had two screens to swipe for all the icons/apps that's a wash for the full screen feature. 🤖 Android for life

100% Android. I have a male voice on mine. It's better. And you only need to plug in the cable for me. Bluetooth connect at the same time by it self.

I land on a tie. While the full screen on carplay is nice, the media widget while in maps on Android auto should not be ignored. As for the three previous apps in carplay, android audio makes that area quick media controls as well on non-widescreen units. It is a nice touch.

Dang, I'm an android guy and I gotta be honest. That AI voice is still cringy in the car... Why can't they just make it as good as the home speakers!? I do like the widget menu, I just wish it was expandable by user choice.

I need youtube and instagram in apple carplay, its enough for me, without jailbreak actually

Can't wait for the Android Auto update. Apple Car Play map zoom feature LOL

Did anyone else notice how robotic he had to sound in order for apple carplay to understand him?

Just bc 99% of people use navigation the most, Android Auto wins

I love Google for its search engine accuracy, so I have to give the win to Android Auto! 😉👍

I hate it when people say that Android copies Apple, especially when it comes to Android Auto. There's literally nothing copyrighted about icon positioning.

I liked the old Android auto a lot better, the cards gave you a lot of needed info at once, you could see directions, texts, and music from the same page.

Should have waited for iOS 13, I have the beta right now and the updated CarPlay is amazing!

Crazy!!! It's 2019 and it's legit the first time Apple and their fanboys can say... "android copied Apple" as opposed to the opposite which has been the case for 10 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂

For the next one, can you try do the music test with Spotify?!

Android Auto doesn't even work with Huawei devices..... So that's a win for apple!

One thing you missed about the Assistant Voice in Android Auto is that you can change the Voice in Android and it now users your preference in Android Auto. You can also choose quality levels. YMMV

Auto always win as we use gmaps most of the time

Being able to move the map is such a useful feature in Android Auto.

I own both phones. One apple 1 Samsung. There is one seriously significant test that you guys did not do. Google Maps on an Android system allows you to, while in route to a given destination, search for waypoint, like a McDonald's, along your current route. I have yet to see that functionality in any way on any Apple maps software. Other than this one significant issue, I'm evenly split on the capability of the two interfaces.

I’m I the only one perfectly happy with apple maps... all my peers use it too I don’t get the google maps hype

In AA if there's someone sitting next to you who might want to play music from any app, they can use the music app and select songs while navigation remains on but in AC, if we open the music app it also shows up on the car screen which we might not want.

Its funny he says android isnt clean.. Carplay interface looks like a Playskool toy background glued over a perfectly professional interface.

Say to Siri: That’s not how your pronounce _________. And it will say the name correctly

Android Auto can play videos with carstream +1000 Android wins

My android auto works different from this one. I feel like mine is better than this update..

It doesn’t matter, you use what phone you have, no one has two phone systems that they decide on when they drive. They both should be equally good.

Both voices sound fine and clear. It's not mumbling lol

With apple he had to talk like a robot vs Android where he just spoke normally
