SMACKDOWN! -- NEW Android Auto vs. Apple CarPlay // ULTIMATE Side-by-Side Test & Comparison! 

One thing you forgot and a huge complaint of mine for CarPlay. When you get a phone call while driving and using maps, on CarPlay it takes over the entire screen which is annoying and forces you to to interact with the screen to get back to the maps. AA does this sooo much better.

The Chick FIL A was a win for AA and Mason knows it!!

Great job. I love the new Android Auto display. Looks great on my Audi. I've got the Audi Virtual Cockpit display. and I can keep the Audi nav on my instrument cluster and my Google maps (which shows current traffic) on my dash display. I feel surrounded by cool tech.

I really like how CarPlay’s Home Screen dynamically pops up my garage door opener control when I get within a half mile of home.

Um android auto always had wallpapers, way before this update

I have both phones and tested them and definitely more like the android auto. Better voice commands and maps. Look like more advanced.

I drive for a living and I don't want a light mode to AA. I have Google maps set to dark mode so I don't have the screen glaringly bright while driving long distance

how do you change the navigation app on carplay's dashboard?

Great job guys,. Question... Have a 2021 CX-5, I noticed that when I use the Waze navigation app, I am unable to get full screen like I get with Google maps? I was wondering if this is something that they're going to look into with the new Android Auto update? Have you guys noticed this at all? Once again great job and thank you in advance!

Very helpful, thanks!

Coupon game is strong, but does Kentucky not have any decent food options?

Nicely done, guys. Apple does have a setting for text messaging where it will read it out to you instead of requiring you to tap the notification. You just have to be okay with anyone in your car hearing those messages as they come in.

Really enjoyed this video...good choice for content.

I was a little bit surprised, that he didn't use the ok Google command to activate Android Auto? Because it works really well again

4:18 For apple carplay the siri is accessed by pressing and holding the home button just like on iphones, although it would be better if there is an actual voice command button like android auto has

Who consumes more battery?

Did you guys connect over bluetooth? Did you find that apple is always prioiritized to connect over android, even when android was already connected? if so, how do you fix that?

I dont know but replying on messages using my native language using android auto it replied correctly and spelled properly letter by letter. Is it just me? And wallpaper has been on AA before coolwalk. I live in PH, using it on Nissan Navara

I have an apple device but I don’t use apple’s navigation. I use Waze for navigation. I don’t like it when Siri says “I can’t show you when you’re in the car!” when the answer can be enumerated not necessarily to be displayed on the screen.

I will say that when I say, when I had my Google pixel within android auto in my car, between the actual connection and using Google assistant to send messages, I always had issues. I won't get all of my messages. I will have to reconnect and disconnect my phone 4 to 5 times each time I get in the car etc. etc. I got so exhausting and frustrating and tiring to use android auto. My 13 promax with CarPlay in my car, so seamless and intuitive. Yes, each company copies off each other, but the actual connection to my car system for displaying information, and Sierra, getting all of my messages 100%, can't complain whatsoever with CarPlay!

I use both Samsung and Apple phones but prefer android auto which Google assistant is twice as good as siri aa gives user more control over what music I can play.

Interesting why dont i have the sidebar on my AA? Its still that annoying bottom bar for me

What’s the system versions for the phones?

Convergence! Cant stop it....ever.

I would say CarPlay makes more sense- larger buttons are easier to press while driving- but I much prefer the look of AA

So if you just want to play your radio. And not Open spotify. Do you turn off your android auto or are you allowed to play your radio my hitting another button?

I think the white mode is completely ugly on apple carplay. I prefer the dark mode as it blends in on Android Auto.

I know with text on Apple car play you can ask Siri to read unread text. Also, Google assistant is way better than Siri. Apple needs to update Siri tremendously

AA is the better software no question

Nice google logo on the carplay :D

Saw you trying to zoom in out with multitouch on AA.. Appears it doesn't work(yet)..?

Was this an android auto vs car play review, or a Siri vs google assistant review.....

I love chick-fil-A lol

You can access siri on the side bar of CarPlay you just have to hold the app drawer button

I guess I’m so used to CarPlay wheee I tried the S23U and Android Auto on my 22 MDX, it was just a pain to operating. Using Waze, I could only use my phone to type location (oppose to CarPlay, I can use both the feature through the car and my phone), android auto wouldn’t let me stream the audio via RU-vid video (again, CarPlay allows me to), I couldn’t really control the android auto through my steering wheel buttons. I did like the notification, the turn by turn on my HUD and Google voice commands. But everything else was a pain to navigate comparing to CarPlay.

The present dark theme is best on android

My android auto wont connect, keep saying phone. Not supported, s20 and fold 4, tried 3 different cable, sucks bad

This video is brought to you by Google

Black and dark is a lot easier on the eyes when you’re driving.

Why is the map screen so small on Car Play. The gaps between the widgets is so huge and useless

light mode is for heathens anyways, so as far as i can tell it was a queen sweep for AA xD

Android autodos give you reviews you just have to say Chick-fil-A instead of navigate to nearest Chick-fil-A

Dude on the left is an Apple fan boy. While the dude on the right is unbiased, open to both.

Android auto is more functional and driver oriented. It has a true splitscreen interface unlike Carplay and the static dashboard. Apple fans are too delusional. Plus Google Assistant is way smarter than Siri. Lol I don't wanna hear it!

Hi Drew! 👋 Android Auto already offered wallpaper choices so that is not a new feature.

I don’t care what you say, Apple CarPlay does and always will look like the much cleaner UI. There’s a reason AA tried to copy AC and failed.

How can I get Facebook messenger on Android? I use to have it and can't figure out how to get it back.

Both of you do a fantastic job. Thanks for the info. I still haven't figured it out yet with my 22 Equinox ,so I will try try again.🤔🤔

Weird how zooming in on the map wasnt a consideration

I use to have android auto with my S22 ultra and it was a bad experience in my 2021 gmc Sierra. Android auto would lock up my phone not allowing me to interact with it even in emergency situations. I switched to an iPhone and have had a much better experience with Apple CarPlay.

aye android auto wins for picking kendrick over uzi

Android Auto is better then AppleCarPlau for specific reasons. Apple VarPlay though is compatible with more cars

40 thousand car why not have gps built in ?

I also want to point out since I'm polish one thing that matters to me in this is also that in Android Auto there is actually polish version, while apple don't give a shit about us and there is only english version

You guys are so interesting and entertaining. 👍🏾

The more I use Google Assistant, the more I'm convinced it uses voodoo, or some form of Harry Potter magic, it's scarily good.

android auto wont let me type while the car is moving, but on carplay i dont have this issue, want to retire my iphone with an android but this is one of the big negatives of android that i'm facing

My pants are too big 😢

Apple is still running off Steve Jobs technology.

AA wins, it is more usefull but one thing that apple is doing better is animations which is also true for iphone vs android, I hope google will try to make smoother animations, great video!

Dark mode is better anyways... Hell I keep my radio on night mode...

Hi, thanks for the video, but there are two things that I, for me, makes AA unsafe and complicated to use. First, it doesn't allow you to write on the phone when the car is moving and the "safety pause." For me, it is a deal breaker and makes me want to go back to Apple. Is there any chance, you think that any of of those features will change any time soon?

Did this dude say Lil Uzi Vert was comparable to Kendrick? Never talk about hip-hop again 😂

Never used android auto even though I have an android phone. My main phone is an iPhone. To speak on apple CarPlay, it’s buggy. Sometimes I ask for a command and it doesn’t carry it through. I would have to ask again. They need to fix this. The comparison of Apple Maps to google maps: Apple Maps can easily give you the wrong address unless you are specific as to where versus google maps already knowing where you want to go. But after that Apple Maps is more detailed when giving you turn by turn directions compared to google maps. But yes Siri’s glitch prone operation is on display in this comparison.

AA on my car.

Yeah but blue bubbles

😎SamSung Galaxy Z Fold 4 - 7.6 Inch Screen Size 😎 Rules?

i have a Oneplus 7 Pro with Android OS 12 and the Android Auto on my 2022 RX350L is god awful.

You can't pinch to zoom the map on Apple car place?

Honestly Android auto used to have better wallpapers then CarPlay

Siri is still lacking behind to systems like Google and Alexa but I can see it will catch up. I'm a fan of almost every Apple things like iPhones, Apple Music, and Apple TV, and one day I hope Apple Carplay wins a comparison like this. like Apple is the largest company in the world

Uh yea was gonna switch to iphone but nope I will be pissed driving with carp carplay.

Stop the presses: Siri is still useless. I’m an iPhone user and I utterly hate Siri.

Just to add the graphical representation of Android Auto is pretty poor compared to what you get with Apple Car Play

Android auto is slow and laggy, Apple carplay not. Apple carplay graphically has the best map with more overview. Atleast in my car (Volkswagen T-cross)

Have a iPhone 15 Pro Max and a S24 Ultra, Android auto STILL sucks! Carplay isn't much better but it absolutely wins in a vs.

Okay but the Richmond Rd. Chic Fil A sucks tbh!

There is one big advantage for Apple CarPlay though, and that's Apple Maps. Verbal announcements for upcoming stop signs, street lights, red light or speed cameras, and "pass this light and on the next one turn right" spoken content are all missing on Google Maps. Not to mention Apple Maps' amazing 3D block mode.

Android users holding back tears, no one uses cables anymore and CarPlay is king wirelessly. Cars are also more optimized for IOS and that’s never changing 🍎👑

The features are nice, but they worthless if they don't come with privacy and security, and both of them plus the car's data-oriented systems have been reported to have serious concerns in those areas. For example, sucking data from your phone to the car's system, storing history on the car, and transmitting the data back to Google, Apple and the car manufacturer for virtually any use, including correlating the data with all of the data they gather through your activity on all devices. Worse, a mechanic could pull your data from the car and give it to their burglar buddy who woukd be able to see your GPS history to plan a robbery when you are not around. Such things make these systems unusable, and even desirable to know how to completely deactivate them, and how to wipe all data before taking the car in for service. Also, these systems - just like phones - will need security updates to address vulnerabilities. In a phone it is a common practice for Google, Apple and the phone manufacturer to stop bothering with security updates after 5 years of a new model coming out. But cars you might keep for 10-20 years an in rare occasions even up to 50 years or more, even after a model is discontinued. This will eventually becomeman extremely serious concern. SUGGESTION: Make a review from the perspective of privacy and security, covering which is better and how to protect ourselves from data leakage, breaches, hacking, etc.

Show that Android auto on RAM uconnect 5 and the 12" screens of 2022-2024- only gives half screen size. Now allele carplay gives full screen google maps and full screen waze maps nav. Some idiot at RAM included the junk tomtom nav, that isn't even a child's graphic. Equal to pong. Again, while Apple can get a full screen nav, Android gives only half screen. Android - junk.

The left dude is one of apple's brainwashed victims lol trying so hard to deny that android auto is actually doing a better job at doing most of the tests being done in the video

Light mode 🤢

16 minutes... ???!!!!! For barely any to the point information.

You didn't test music quality, while I am an Android guy, AA music quality is absolutely horrible. If I don't need maps I now disconnect AA to have good music quality over bluetooth

Gosh apple maps is just the worst...still!

Why would you use the most terrible screen ..can you say Toyota 😫

4:58 It showed you Adriana’s 5h 56m away because you didn’t say nearest

iPhone is superior! Apple Maps ( in Canada at least ) is also much better. Apple Maps does traffic much faster and better. Google maps shows red constantly in places that there is little to no traffic currently there. Waze is not bad, but would be my third choice.

Apple is better of course. I convinced my dad to trade in his android for an iPhone 14 Pro MAX. He had to buy his newest one two years ago since my younger brother threw his in the toilet!! Also Samsung = Android
