I think it looks good! :D

Then future models with: BMW Group, Chevrolet, Ford, Kia, Land Rover, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Opel, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota.

Big list in a way :P

Which would be ridiculous, seeing as the products the system supports are not in the majority, unless CarPlay can support others products and I've missed something :S These companies are going to have to radically change their manufacturing process, and in doing so will risk financial problems seeing as it was making too diverse a range of features that was what nearly killed some of them not so long ago - Ford particularly. That said, it may only really prove popular in the US where these systems already exist. MyFord Touch being one and whatever the Tesla Model S uses, and some Android variant that is doing the round are some examples. Also, aren't touchscreens considered against some EU Directives in cars? I'm fairly certain I saw that somewhere, which is why fewer buttons are appearing and voice control is becoming a bigger thing in the UK.

Yeah I think it's more bigger in the US than in the UK itself.

I think most will offer it as an optional extra, bit like Opel/Vauxhall do now with the current Siri System they have.

I was really hoping there would be some sort of nav update for my BMW that would enable this at some point..
