The big downside to me with CarPlay/Auto is that it doesn't leverage screen real estate properly. At least not yet. I end up with CarPlay/Auto on the main entertainment screen but with the manufacturer's system on the HUD and main cockpit screen - which I'd rather look at.
CarPlay should be fixing that in next gen (so a year or two from now) releases. Apple showed a Carplay screen that went from the drivers instrument cluster to the center of the dash where it usually lives now.
