That sounds like a Subaru problem, on my Chevy the carplay and Android Auto interface are the same exact size and take up the whole info screen.

My old Subaru wasn’t like that either.

Well i sure wouldn’t call that an OPEN ecosystem

Wouldn’t it be easier to just view the cameras through the interface of your CCTV recording software? I personally use Shinobi for recording, and run Frigate for object detection and notifications through home assistant.

For a huge amount of people they make perfect sense, if you can only have one vehicle and don’t live somewhere where parking is an issue. It really is a all in one vehicle, Haul, tow, people mover (crew cabs) and 4wd for rough weather.

Comparing a sports car to a full size truck is idiotic, its like comparing a road bike to a mountain bike they are just different vehicles.
