“Why get it?”

Yes, but having it integrated into your car, so that you don’t have to remove your hands from the wheel or look away from the road is a worthy of a little praise. Plus, many cars include in on lower trim levels now. On the flip side, BMW and others make you buy into their navigation system before you can even consider…

With CarPlay (in my car, at least) you can press a button on the steering wheel to access Siri, who will call someone, navigate somewhere, etc. Much easier than fumbling with your phone!
