Great. Now we have nanny companies?

I'll spend my money accordingly.

It's not actually for safety - it's because they want their own software to be the only option.

It's the same move Apple uses whenever they block something in the name of "security".

The security they are referring to is their financial security.

The systems are also far from perfect. The amount of times I got frustrated with voice to text being wrong, repeatedly, or lack of options or voice search or something of the like in Spotify or something is frustrating and not useful. When it works it works and it's great but there are many times it doesn't. All systems are far from perfect still.

Okay... So they frustrated you, not ideal. But we're talking about phone mirroring even being available on GMC vehicles. Them removing even the option is anti-consumer and their justification is laughable...

This is an deal breaker. I usually buy GM but now it looks like Ford now

Glad Apple and Google are getting the boot, but you can be certain the best interests of the consumer were not part of the consideration.
