I appreciate this review, thanks. I just bought the blazer EV and to be honest I like the built in android system way better than using car play. If I used Apple music I would maybe think differently, but my iPhone connects to the bluetooth seamlessly, 'hey Siri' still works with no hiccups, and as of yet I have had no connection issues. What I didn't like about Car play was that it was always connecting/disconnecting on my old car (2022 F-150). Maybe that was a Ford thing but it never seemed to stay connected like it should, and I would end up plugging the phone in to keep it connected. I was leary about not having it, but am actually happier with this setup. I agree the frunk was a miss, would be nice to have grabbed a little extra storage up there. Depreciation is real, maybe it will improve as the market matures.
