@everyone who is interested in Car Play but not used it before. Like me.

As compared to Sync 3. You will lose the outside air temp, your climate temp info and your home button that resides on the top of the Sync screen.

And you will lose any functionality with Sync 3 until you pull the usb cord out of your phone. Disappointing that there is no back button.

Like others have mentioned you may be underwhelmed by Car Play. YMMV.

So this information disappears... where does it go? Where do you find the outside temp, etc now?
