The 2017 Ford Escape is apparently going to be the first Ford that has carplay/android auto.

I had a Sonata last week that had Android Auto but not CarPlay, think it was a 2016. Maybe it didn't get the update yet.

So far, I've had two Jettas and both had CarPlay (and heated seats, which was nice).

Got a Chevy Cruze 2017 at the moment, and it's got both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Good thing too, given that as of the start of the year it's illegal to even hold a cell phone whilst driving in California. It must be in a mount, and even then it must be voice activated (except for a touch or a swipe to activate the voice)

2017 Ford Mustangs have Android Auto and the bugs are on the phone side, even with updated apps on the phone. Connecting is slow.

I recently had a 2017 Cadillac ATS which had Android Auto, but the phone never could connect with the car apps. Normal Bluetooth worked fine. I blame the phone: Android 7/Nexus 6.

I had a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with an updated version of Uconnect that supported Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

What airport? All of the Grand Cherokee's I've been getting in Denver, Phoenix, and Albuquerque are 2017s with the older UConnect. I'm actually considering purchasing a 2018 and was hoping to rent one for a bit to make sure I liked it Hopefully Phoenix gets new cars in soon.

It was at Pittsburgh. It had Maryland plates so it probably got there via one-way rental from BWI. The new Uconnect is much improved - a lot faster and cleaner interface. Touch response is pretty much instant.

I've seen it on the chargers and chrysler 300's, hopefully they get to the Jeeps out in the desert soon I might end up renting instead of buying for a while.

The new 2017 Compass has it and the New 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has it as well.

Well if it helps I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee out atm with Texas plates on it. Was built in July so you'll probably find one soon


Had to wait for it since it was being cleaned and I was looking around anyways but only first saw a 17 limited and a 18 Laredo

I had a 2017 Nissan Maxima this week with CarPlay but no Android Auto. It did have a (crappy) factory navigation system though.
