Nothing to buy, nothing to wire, nothing to install. It works in any car, truck, van or RV. NEW: CAROS 5 Rebuilt from scratch, with a brand-new design: clear by day, dark at night, and a SmartBar that keeps the essentials one tap away on every screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChevyStar at none against CarOS's 3. ChevyStar also leads on iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). CarOS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (14% vs 4%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
