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]. | ||
