I once rented a Peugeot 3008, and wanted to pair with Apple CarPlay. The car warned me that it's in "rental" mode and pairing will disable that and will share tons of data (which was listed as bullet points) about me and the car between my (apple) profile and the car.

I rejected and didn't go further. I appreciate the honesty, though.

That's interesting, as CarPlay is mostly just a fancy screen share.

You don't need a profile on the car, at least not a manually entered profile. I always assumed the "pairing" was more of a basic handshake than some big data load/share/whatever.

		I assumed the same so, but as far as I remember, the data contained serial numbers (car VIN + phone serial), speed, location and some more data. It's probably for automated emergency notifications, better route tracking when GPS is unavailable, etc. Apple does a lot of magick with their own software, and also there are some telemetry related things, I guess. Maybe car related data is used for car integration, IDK. Need to watch [0]. [0]: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/723/
