Back in April at the 2025 New York International Auto Show, we had the rare chance to talk with a brand representative about one of the wildest cars there — a street‑legal race car built for pure performance. Four months later, it’s still one of the most unforgettable cars we’ve seen all year.

In this episode, Jason Healey, Andrew Green, and Nicky Paraggio dive deep into the evolving world of in-car infotainment, centered around Apple CarPlay Ultra and the bigger battle over who owns the driver experience. From GM’s decision to phase out CarPlay in certain EVs to why Hyundai and Kia are all-in on Apple’s full-screen takeover, the crew explores what’s at stake for automakers, dealers, and drivers. They discuss how Apple’s demand for data may be the real roadblock, why some brands refuse to give up control of the dashboard, and how this shift might impact the future of design, diagnostics, and even dealership service visits.
 
Whether you’re a die-hard Apple fan or just want your volume knob back, this conversation breaks it all down in plain English.
