I didn’t mean to argue at all. I’m not too fond of Apple Maps with CarPlay today. I just see promise in it. No experience with android auto. And, FWIW, I have never used any iteration of BMw’s IDrive.
I think 5 is the most you can reasonably expect. Tesla's system was pretty solid when it launched but even with some updates it's getting a little long-in-tooth now, particularly with respect to integration of other electronics (or lack thereof). That will happen even faster with cars that don't do OTA updates.
