Whether you use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay will probably depend on whether you have an iPhone or an Android device. In this car technology article, I’ll take a more in-depth look at Android Auto and I’ll even do a quick comparison with its prime competitor, Apple CarPlay (see our full post " What is Apple Carplay" and Apple CarPlay compatible cars for more info on this alternative).
