  • CarPlay has been around since 2014, so there’s a good chance that you’ve either driven a car with it, or been in a car where someone else has been using it. But be honest, beyond using it as a GPS, do you actually know how to use Apple CarPlay? This stock iPhone function is actually really impressive, but you need to know how to get the most out of it, to get the most out of it.

    You didn't mention that you can use Automations with Carplay. That's VERY handy. I have an automation when I start Carplay to check the temperature. If the temperature is below 2 degrees celsius, I have SIRI say to me that I have to drive careful because it could be slippery. And you can do MANY more things with this...

    Great tips, but here’s one I use all the time.
    I ALWAYS listen to music while driving. I’m also almost always using Google Maps
    or Apple Maps. My CarPlay screen is perhaps a bit smaller on my car, but if you tap the two squares in the lower left corner, you can see both your driving application as well as your music application, side-by-side, so I can skip songs while still getting all my driving information on one screen.

    It's wild how far car tech has come. I now leave my phone and my keys in my pocket to drive. The phone connects automatically and starts playing the last music I was listening to when I got out. All of the car functions work with the fob in my pocket. Took a while to get used to not digging out my phone and keys every time I get in the car.

      Here in India, Apple Maps isn't able to pick up the exact location from Home or Work address added in the contact card. It's always off by 1-2 kms or so. Also, on asking Siri to "Drive to home" while using CarPlay I get "Can't open while driving"... something like that. Defeats the whole purpose. Any tips/workarounds for both of these? It's been very frustrating using CarPlay here.

    Add your home and work addresses to “My card” in Contacts.
    Make sure these open with correct locations in Maps when tapped.
    If you launch Maps on CarPlay, it’ll automatically plot the appropriate route, depending on your routines.
    When you add an event in Calendar, make a habit of entering the location as well.
    Maps will then plot the route there instead if it’s upcoming.
    E.g. dental appointment before work, get in in the morning, and Maps plots the route to your dentist instead of to work.
    Once done at the dentist, it’ll plot the route from there to your office.

    Apple Maps ETA feature in Carplay is fantastic - a feature few know about. For other Apple users, it sends them a temporary Find My Friends link, which is updated in real-time. And for non-apple users, it sends them a formal text with your ETA etc. If you are ahead or behind schedule, it updates them automatically! It even tells the other person when you arrive, so you don't have to remember.

    CarPlay using an Ottocast wireless dongle is a good experience too, my partner uses Android and as we share driving quite often it was a good option instead of swapping out cables every time we hopped in the car. I am enjoying the CarPlay experience on our 7in corolla screen, it is functional and Siri has been reliable whilst driving. I use Waze as default navigation due to its crowdsourced reporting, if Apple maps was half as good in that dept I'd swap. My fave function is my remote garage door button that appears when i'm close to home (around 500mt radius), the same doesn't work in Android sadly. The next generation CarPlay sounds exciting but I honestly don't think its that needed, end of the day there is only so much information/interaction that needs to be distracting the driver. In Victoria Australia our laws have evolved recently that makes it illegal to "scroll" any device (including inbuilt screens) and overhead cameras will capture use and send fines. How they are going to determine a press from a scroll in a picture is beyond me, going to be a lot of drama.

    One thing concern that we've looked into is data usage because she doesn't have a great mobile data allowance. You can save maps on Google to a degree to save data but you can't have real time traffic announcements without a date connection.
    Driving regularly with data enabled can eat through a 1gb allowance in days.

      So you think Apple Maps is better at navigating or do you just like the view better? I'd try it but am afraid my phone would burst into flames from the heat. (Of course, I'm also using it to listen to podcasts.)

      @@donlibes I haven’t had any heat issues using Maps. I like the lane information and landmark comments like “go thru this light and turn right at the next light”. In my area this is so helpful. I stream music, listen to podcasts, and audiobooks book with no heat problems. I do keep my phone out of direct sunlight. I’ve had issues with overheating when I have my phone on my dashboard but that was in a car that didn’t have CarPlay.

    the integration of CarPlay and calendar should have been covered. I saw your video on Apple Calendar and now use it exclusively for when I need to drive to a new destination - be it a Dr. appt, to get the kids from camp, or especially when we go on vacation and will be driving to a new place everyday and then returning to a 'temporary' home.

    Do you know of a "dashboard" app for iPhone to use while driving if one's car does not have a modern receiver? My son has an older car and I sure miss carplay when I drive it. He has an iPhone mount on the dash, so a carplay-like app on the phone itself would be excellent. Thanks!

  • @FloeticEnigma

    I use CarPlay daily for gps, music and phone calls while driving. The only issue I’ve come across is Microsoft Teams causes my whole stereo system to reboot. If I try to join a meeting or take a teams call, the whole screen goes black, powers down and then comes back up. When I tried it with my Android, it worked fine. I hope Apple and Microsoft fix that problem. I often take meetings on my commute to the office and have to use my iPad mini and AirPods since the iPhone can’t connect when it’s connected to my car.

    Until this past weekend when I installed a system with Apple CarPlay I had NEVER been in a car with it since it was introduced in 2014. Even if it was actually in the car the driver either wasn't using it or didn't need to use it while we were driving around. In the two days I've had it I do think it's a very useful system and I will take advantage of it. I could still live without it but here it is and I might as well justify the cost!

  • @Asolo137

    I use Carplay extensively and found a few tips I wasn't aware of, THX. And the other day I discovered something others might find useful. CarPlay would not work while using VPN. I use Express VPN, so I don't know if it is an issue with other VPN's. Once I turned it off, it worked fine.

    I would prefer to use Apple maps, but always find Waze is just more reliable and useful. Speed warnings and stranded cars, also a lot faster at picking up delays (also across europe). Ref the Dartford Toll, you can set an account so it recognises Reg no and takes card payment automatically. Reminders is useful when set in advance to remind you at a certain point on a map to do something (ie get a reminder to post the birthday card that has been sat on the passenger seat for a week, when you are near a certain post box 😬)

  • @SpeedStrengthJames
    @SpeedStrengthJames 6 месяцев назад +1

    Didn't know you could take a screenshot. Also interesting to hear about your phone heating up while charging wirelessly. Wireless carplay sounds dreamy. My go to is Google maps as I find the navigation is far superior to Apple maps, which will try to take you down unsuitable or closed roads. I haven't really tried Waze

  • @KevMurrayOz
    @KevMurrayOz 9 месяцев назад

    Thanks for your excellent tutorial. In OZ until recently have predominantly using Waze BUT have switched to Apple Maps. I really like the instructions and display of traffic lights that others (Google and Waze) do not show. As for UK we are RHS drivers.
    I was hoping you might have covered the following "issue"
    Is there a way to get an iPhone 14 to display the SAME screen as on the Carplay Map screen?
    My Carplay Screen (in a Subaru) has the SPEED on the LHS - a long way even for peripheral vision.
    I lock my iPhone onto the Air Vent between steering wheel and RH door so if if it was the SAME display screen as the Carplay vehicle screen it would be basically in my eyesight.
    Alternatively can the Car Nav Carplay screen be "flipped over"so the Speed limit would then be on the RHS of the screen?
    The SPEEDS are are a big issue in Subarus as the default NAV is TomTom and the limits are hopelessly out of date on major streets/roads I used. Up to 4+ years out of date. Recently cost me $400 fine and demerit points - first in 40 years.
    Thanks

    One thing you did not mention and I just found out as it was something that frustrated me is the little Squiggle in the top left corner of map. As you know this changes the view from a I guess street buy street view and gives you you total trip view with your progress in the route. I like this when i am doing longer trips so I can see what’s around me in case I want to make a diversion. Otherwise great tutorial and will be back for updates.
