> And they display their own popups over CarPlay while CarPlay is active, which I basically never want to see.

What year/model is this? I've never had a popup on top of CarPlay, except for the volume bar that appears along the bottom of the screen.

I got a Carlinkit wireless adapter so I don't even see the Mazda UI except for a couple of seconds while the adapter boots up, or if I want to put it on the clock screen because there's nothing on CarPlay that I need.

Definitely been improved since then, 2023 Mazda 3 doesn’t have pop ups over CarPlay.

There’s the usual “screens are distracting” notice when the car turns on but after that it uses the speedometer screen to say things like “Service due” or “Safety and Driver Support Systems Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar Obscured. Drive Safely”
