You know how your infotainment is fast to start up, works well and is only buggy when using CarPlay/AndroidAuto? Well now expect only the CarPlay/AA experience.
QNX is a great OS, and it’s unfortunate that instead of getting better integration, we’re getting whatever Google and Apple shovels at the auto industry.
To be honest, I haven't had many issues with AA. My wife's car has AA and it's been better than the mutant abortion of a manufacturer-designed interface that my older car has.
Maybe I'm a lone voice here, but my Skoda has QNX and it's...not very good? It takes an age to start up, and an age to load navigation mode to a point where it's ready to start being used. Bluetooth integration is rudimentary (in the context of the age of the vehicle) and unpredictable. The touch UI is spongy and easy to make mistakes, even if you're the passenger giving it your full undivided attention. The voice command system is almost unusable.
It's not terrible, don't get me wrong. But I don't understand why anyone would be writing any lovesongs about it.
The OE had a lot of input on how QNX was built into their vehicles. It’s not a turn-key system that they buy off the shelf from blackberry. I’m honestly surprised BB didn’t start putting their name on some of the good implementations.
So much this. I’ve driven a lot of Volkswagen group cars. Their software was great (built on QNX). Now only the real-time canbus part of the car runs on QNX (and is still rock solid) while the entertainment part runs on android and is a train wreck; crashes at least once/day.
