Some expensive cars can't run CarPlay, but this Raspberry Pi 3 can

You can buy some very expensive cars that don't support CarPlay yet, but someone managed to make it work with their Raspberry Pi 3.

“Most charge an extra fee, if they support it at all.”

Wait, what?

I know it’s anecdotal, but I have owned 3 autos and a motorcycle which supported CarPlay without charging for it.

So from my personal sampling of vehicles I have owned since CarPlay was introduced I am at 4 out of 7 supporting CarPlay for free.

The three that did not were a work truck and a cargo van - both autos bare-bones vehicles barely even equipped with a radio; and a motorcycle with no screen at all.

Wasn’t BMW one of the only manufacturers that charged for CarPlay and haven’t they back-pedaled that policy?
