I'm in the same boat, but apparently Sync 4 offers wireless CarPlay, and so I may give it another shot. Having to plug in my phone just to use Waze or Apple maps was always a deal breaker for me. I also don't like how enabling CarPlay currently disables non-CarPlay apps, i.e., AppLink apps, which often have a better, more integrated experience.I’d like to offer a perspective as a HUGE apple fanboy. My opinion of CarPlay? Meh. I’ve tried it a few times and prefer Sync 3 to CarPlay.
Given that now all the physical buttons are gone, let's hope another frustration of mine is gone: right now when using CarPlay, I feel like I have to jump through hoops to get back to my car's actual controls. If I have to jump through hoops to adjust the climate control, then I'll simply never use CarPlay.
