iOS 17 rumoured to release Monday September 18th. Previous years it's always been 6pm / 8pm so keep an eye out!
I just posted a comment how sync 4 and iPhone doesn’t not work play well and no solution
Hi, I'm doing what you're doing and it's not showing on my screen .... i have ios17 now
@giorgoskouridis360 have you got an Apple Music subscription?
@@npoleary yes
@@npoleary help me please bro
Pleasantly surprised by the updated CarPlay. Checked it out yesterday and first thing I noticed was the updated cleaner look, bigger bar for scrubbing through music, and crossfade! Nice update!
Yeah nice simple and clean update! I love it too! 🤓🙏
I am so happy Apple Maps finally does offline. 6 years ago it nearly made me stranded in North Carolina in the pitch black with zero signal
I’m glad it’s offline too now! 👍🏼
Thanks for highlighting these new points. Super helpful.
Also wasn't expecting to see a video filmed at a pub car park in Andover (which I've been to a fair few times!)
No worries! And thank you for watching!
Ah I film my videos anywhere where it’s remotely quiet! 🤐 haha
Well spotted though!
Very nice video Nick🙂. I would like to show us and explain the Guard 360 Package feature if possible!
Thank you! Good suggestion! I’ll add it to the list! 🤓
Thanks Nick. Informative as always. 👍🏾
Thank you! 🙏
Thank you mate ❤
4:21 Yes, I remember plugging in my Walkman to play music in my Corsa.
Yup! Me too!
Then one day I got an iPod and it sat in the cup holder 😅
Excelente, gracias!
Perfect as always , thanks Nick
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Saying serie did trigger my phone here in SC., USA. SO AMUSING. ALL THE BEST. MG.
Cool stuff, but you still need to swap to maps manually if you receive a call during navigation. They should implement the call menu in overlay with maps to be efficient.
That’s a good idea! Would love that feature!
Agreed! This is the most annoying thing in CarPlay. My screen isn’t touch, so I have to use the scroll wheel and navigate back to maps.
I was just about to ask if there is any method avoiding that but it seems there is none. Really annoying.
me too @@npoleary
Thx for the new info , 👍🙋♂️
No worries! 🤓🙏
Great info as always Nick 👍🏻
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Thanks for another great video Nick - def some useful improvements with the new ios 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Had the new iOS on a phone I bought for the video and was free that day so thought I’d cover all of the changes! 🤓
@@npoleary Hope all is going well with the new Mercedes btw. Ive had my A180 almost 3 years now and no issues/problems whatsoever.
Yeah great thank you! 🤓
Nice! That’s good to hear! 👊🏼
I’ll be doing some videos of it soon!
Fantastic info and clear too!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Thanks for the new info! I’ll have to update my Carplay in my Audi A4. Looks amazing. Thanks
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great videos bro! Always informative and definetely something people will use... you should do a meet and greet some day! People would come up with their mercs and enjoy a nice drive!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
Maybe we’ll have to see one day! 👀
Meet and greet? @guilhermeluizjh you have all the time in the world!
Thanks Nick, another excellent vid
Thank you! 🤓🙏
Hi Nick, thank you another very informative video. 😊 Regarding one of the new features to CarPlay, SharePlay. Is this only for Apple Music only, or would it work on Spotify? Many thanks keep videos coming 👏👌
I believe Apple Music only
I don’t think it’s got a kit to work with other apps yet (if Apple are going to roll it out)
They might keep it as a selling point for Apple Music
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏🙏
I read that its the cars other occupants can stream Spotify through it but beware you can only use this feature if the driver has a paid Apple Music Subscription. Big fail on Apple's part there
Would be good to know
As @qm7996 already stated, you need an Apple Music subscription on the main phone to get the SharePlay feature in the first place. But also limiting, the people joining in can only select music from _your_ phone (in practice almost anything, given an Apple Music subscription), not whatever the the phone joining might have access to.
I figured out of some things for Apple Car Play in my 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. I’m using the same screen, too.
Very detailed video. Thank you!!
No worries! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Thank you Nick!
No worries! 🤓🙏
My god spent a lot but love it! Module choice is the best! Got it on my bmw
I live in southampton and have family in the new forest and regulary camp there etc, and was always soendinf my youth there. So i can relate with the signal lol
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🙏
Cheers🎉
Hey Nic, thanks for the new video & new tips😊.
P.S - I thought the Smartphone integration for Apple car play isn’t full screen even if you have the long dash screen Or am I wrong?
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it!
Latest Generation MBUX supports full screen CarPlay 🤓
MBUX NTG 6 (when you say Hey Mercedes it has lines for the voice assistant)
This has a cropped version of CarPlay because there are multiple screen sizes, 7” and 10.25”
MBUX NTG 7 (when you say Hey Mercedes, it has sparkles for the voice assistant)
This version supports full screen CarPlay as you cannot get it in 7” it’s only available in the full 10.25 screen size so no cropped CarPlay and it’s Wireless too!
@@npoleary ohh that’s great😃! I asked because I changed my car 2 weeks ago and bought a 2019 A Class AMG Line Premium with the 10.25 screen so I was wondering if it supports full screen CarPlay.
@stephanie123093 ah very nice! No sadly not it’ll only be the A-Class facelift where the 10.25” screen is the only one available so full screen CarPlay from 2023 models onwards.
Fantastic video Nick, as usual 😉
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Excellent video, thank you.
Only thing I would like to see is the ability to download Apple Maps for larger areas.
I need all western coastal US states for a long vacation drive and don’t want to use all the mobile data needed for the drive as I’m from outside the US…
Just download multiple maps that overlap by some margin. You gotta stop sometime for fuel/food/rest and you can just select whichever offline map works best for your next trip segment. Not completely seamless, but about as easy peasyas it gets for now.
Great video! 😃How do you get CarPlay to fill the whole screen? On the native screen of my Mercedes A Class AMG '21 it fills the screen but when CarPlay launches it cuts off a section on the left side... Any ideas?
Sadly not all cars can do full screen CarPlay. There are other manufacturers who have come across the same issue before.
The reason is because MBUX (also known as NTG 6) on Mercedes is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything.
So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen.
NTG 7 found in some new cars have higher faster processors and have one screen size leading to a full screen experience on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Hope that explains potentially why it’s like that on some cars!
That’s interesting to know that it’s a MBUX issue, not an Apple one. I was waiting for this update to fix it on my GLC screen.
I no longer use CarPlay because the screen looks ridiculous with the blank sides. It seriously looks like a GUI error, something you’d find in vehicles from much cheaper manufacturers.
Others have had the same before, my partner had a Mini Cooper, cropped on CarPlay because you could order it with two screen sizes but the newer one is now full screen.
I know there are others too
I use wireless CarPlay in my A250e but the chopped screen makes it very awful😭. Isn’t there a way to use the full 10.25” screen?

Hello. Thanks for the video. How do you make CarPlay appear full screen on your Mercedes? I have a class A with the same screen but it is cut off by the temperature indicators. Is there a way to configure it? Thanks again.
No worries glad you enjoyed it!

@@npoleary Thank you very much
Nice video! Thanks a lot for doing it.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
Hi Nick, am i mistaken or have you managed to get your Carplay to fill the screen more? looks like there is a lot less border than usual :)
It’s because it’s the latest generation multimedia system. MBUX NTG 7 is only available in one screen size.
MBUX NTG 6 the previous one is available on two screen sizes so CarPlay is cropped slightly.
@@npoleary Thanks mate, i did catch that after reading further down in the comments. Ive got an EQA on the way and from my research it doesn't look like that has NTG7
Ah nice, Mercedes have announced the EQA facelift that I posted about so if you’re going for the new one that would be good! I haven’t seen it yet though
I live in the New Forest so I know exactly what you mean regarding the rubbish phone signal; this is a welcome feature 😂
Loved the all red wallpaper.. matches my Honda Civic SI very well 😏
Yeah I love the new wallpaper too! 🤓
PERFECT VIDEO! I was hoping for next gen Apple CarPlay. I am sad that MB proclaimed it unlikely for them to implement it. They were mentioned as one of the cooperating car manufactures for next gen Apple car play during last year Apple conference. It seems to me that Apple wants us to forget about it. MBUX maps are so unusable 😢. They are not able to to keep up with realtime road closures update of WAZE and others. I am looking FW that day when car manufactures realizes that they should give up and enable full screen Apple next/gen CarPlay. Could you make video about that? Thank you.
Me too! I’ve been emailing all the car manufacturers but no one knows anything about it :(
I do hope it arrives one day (but there again most likely on a newly released model I’m sure!)
Maybe! I’ll add it to the list!
Excellent video and explanation!
Thank you! 🙏
Hi Nick. I note that on MBUX on my EQB that the Car Play screen is not wide screen like the one in your video. On either side of my Car Play screen I have the temperatures etc. Is there a setting I am not using?

@@npolearyso we can’t upgrade the MBUX? Such a waste of the space on our 10” screen
@Steven-ez1ng sadly it’s because MBUX gen 1 or NTG 6 is available in two screen sizes. So for it to work on all of them it has to the 7” version. The newer generation multimedia system is only available in one screen size so isn’t cropped.
Hey there, how come your carplay covers more of the screen? I have a 2021 GLA and my carplay bars on each side of it, basically making my carplay not fullscreen

For Mercedes it’s a common question which I’ve answered on my FAQ series here: ruclips.net/video/N9x56XWdjIo/видео.htmlsi=mlzuNGtciSlsdcdb&t=537

thanks. so what happens when there's an incoming call? does the maps screen get minimized in favor of the call screen? this would be an issue when navigating a tricky spot using one of the maps apps. thanks.
It does but you can tap map and again and it’ll be full screen again 🤓
@@npoleary great thanks!
It was weird, I thought your maps showed you were near Goch Way - which is about a couple of blocks where I live - then I scrolled back and you did film this in Andover! Hahaha! Andover represent! :D
Haha I’ll film a video anywhere! 👀
My partner was at a wedding with some friends (I wasn’t invited 😅) so brought my camera stuff with me and lights and produced this CarPlay video until it had finished. Had a Pizza Express that night too, it was great 👍🏼
Never been to Andover before but the lakes were beautiful (where I filmed the start and the end)
Is crossfade only working with Apple Music oder also with Spotify (I know they have their own setting for it) or RUclips Music?
The one shown in the video is for Apple Music, Spotify’s had Crossfade for quite a while under Settings and then Playback on their app. Not sure about the RUclips Music app 🤓
I realise your apple car play took almost the full screen area. Mine on my C118 only displyed in the middle. Do you know how can I utilise all the available screen region for apple car play?

thank you for this. I may update to 17 now. do the other users have to to use SharePlay?
No they don’t have to, you have to select it on the dashboard before they can anyway
Thanks, I just got off the phone to apple then. I need an apple music subscription. GGRRRRRRRRRRR 20 years this year i have been digitising my own music collection. I dont want/need their damn subscription. GGGRRRRrrrrrrr@@npoleary
just purchased my first mercedes and loving your vids. looking forward to trying apple play and the mer me app
Ah awesome! Thank you! 🙏
Very interesting, thanks
Quick question, my 2019 A35 premium+ has CarPlay activated, but it’s not full width on the screen like your car; how do I have it full screen? Really bugs me!

Yes I also find it is the greatest pain ! And I can’t believe MB can’t tweak its software to sense the screen size and would be surprised it it really impacted the processing significantly etc I just don’t use car play - also because I have to plug it in .. I can use MB system and for music at least w Bluetooth connection I can ask Siri via my watch to play xx etc music. Not a premium work around. But it works.
Yes I wish it was full screen too. It’s not just Mercedes there are other car manufacturers too. My partner had a Mini, the previous one it was cropped because it was available in two screen sizes and the new one it’s full screen.
CarPlay can’t natively scale so it depends on what screen sizes are on offer when ordering from new. I wish it was full screen for everyone!
@@npoleary thank you so much, that makes perfect sense, thanks for the detailed explanation. It’s one of the few things that bugs me, other than that it’s a great system, Infact I tend to use the mbux more than CarPlay now!
Good information but a question. I’m headed to Ireland and Scotland nest week from the US. Do you think I should update to 17 now? I’m just worried about bugs or battery issues.
Thank you! Yes it is a concern that I always factor in before updating anything.
Running a RUclips Channel full time requires stable apps and programs! 😅😅
Phones are very complex and of course it can vary but…I am almost close to saying this is the most stable version of iOS I’ve ever seen 👍🏼
Haven’t had any issues whatsoever so far! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@@npoleary thank you
In fact I think Apple have just released iOS 17.0.1 😂 that was fast!
I’m actually staying this on this one for a few days at least before I upgrade just to be sure
Hi Nick…nice informative video. I am facing problems with Whatsapp incoming calls while driving. I do not get any notifications or incoming call ringtone when using carplay. Is there something that I need to enable in the Settings?
Thank you!
Best thing to do is make sure you’re running th latest versions of everything and all of your settings are enabled to allow what’s app to take calls through Apple’s (I think it’s called PhoneKit).

Make sure what’s app is up to date too!
Nick , is it true that MBUX ipdate is coming soon? Which models will it work on? Cheers
I noticed on my app that my car updated to MBUX 2.4 last month. Haven’t seen any extra features though. Looks like it was just bug updates and fixes.
Nicely done!
Thank you! 🤓
must the phone be plug in, or can you with bluetooth thanks for video
iOS 17 does support Wireless CarPlay so it depends on the car. You’ll have to check with the manufacturer to see if your model supports it 🤓
Hi Nick
I noticed your car play is full screen? On my GLA it takes like 3/4 of the screen , did you do something to have full screen and bigger icons?

Ah awesome thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
My heart goes out to everyone named Siri in the world.
Hey Nick, thank you very much for this informative vid! Quick question - does SharePlay work with Spotify?
No worries! Sadly no it’s an Apple Music thing as this was just an iOS update. We’ll have to keep an eye out if Spotify add anything in the future!
@@npoleary Thanks a lot for your quick reply! Would’ve been cool if it worked as well with Spotify, but hey, maybe one day, it’ll work. 😃
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I have a 20 plate Mercedes but apple play does not fill the screen like above, am I missing something? Also have you done a video on using the hotspot from your phone to connect to the system pls ?

Yes absolutely! But you’ve described it slightly the wrong way round, the car can send internet out a be a hotspot itself. But you can’t send internet to the car from your phone. There’s nothing on the screen you can use really.
Love the videos, I’ve got a new A-class AMG line Premium manufactured 2023 & your videos have been helping learn how to fully use MBUX. I plugged my phone in for apple play & for a split second it fit the whole screen, is there something that I am missing in settings so it fits the whole screen?

The facelift A-Class fills approx 90% of the screen 🤓 (if that helps)
Thank you @@npoleary
No worries!
Excellent mate. Nice car too!
Thank you! 🙏
Is there any way to turn up the volume on music etc in play podcasts and it’s very difficult to hear on the motorway, but if i play via Bluetooth it’s fine and loud
You should just be able to turn it up, there aren’t any additional volume controls in CarPlay for that.
What model of car do you have and what year?
The Willet Arms, eh? We are practically neighbours.
Haha 😛
I do live nearby! 😜
Great video! Nicely filmed.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Great intro, Nick.
Thank you! 🤓
Hi @Nick! It’s just me or did you have a bit stretched Apple Car Play? I think your side bars are bit more narrow than in my 2021 CLA (ofc 10.25 inch screen)

@@npoleary yes yes, I'm fully aware why it's done like this. But my question was about the side bars in your movie. You sits in you A-Class with NTG 6, but cropped side bars are more narrow than in my CLA 2021 which uses also NTG 6. So I'm bit confused, that's all. Is it possible it's still depends on model? In fact, CLA it's A-Class with bigger boot (I believe I used the correct term for this part of the car :D )
@karolsado2582 it’s the facelift A-Class which has the new generation MBUX with NTG 7. It features wireless CarPlay and most importantly full screen CarPlay too.
@@npoleary now I got it. Thanks Nick!
I was just nearby you last week! Stayed in Lymington and Portsmouth from the U.S. Small world.
Aha! There we go! Defo a small world! 🤓
@@npoleary For sure! Had a blast down there, even though you threw the shitty 50mph wind and rain at us while we were down by the Hurst Castle. lol. Gorgeous part of the planet that way. Thanks for having us. Cheers!

I’m literally looking at the window and it’s sunny and dark clouds out the back!
Hello! Thanks for the great info! Are you having any trouble getting Apple Maps going into night mode? Mine will not so it blinds you at night do matter how far you have the brightness turned down. I’ve tried everything I know to do. I have to use Google maps at night for now. 🤷🏻♂️
It’s controlled using your iOS settings
Head to:
Settings
Display & Brightness
Make sure it’s set to “Automatic”
@@npoleary thanks! 😁👍🏻
@@npoleary okay, the screen went to night mode on the phone but not on my CarPlay radio. 🤷🏻♂️ Google Maps works right but Apple Maps stays in day mode on my radio even though it’s in night mode on my iPhone. No setting to change it in the radio settings either. Also checked in the CarPlay settings on my phone… guess there’s an issue with my radio. 🤷🏻♂️
Have you unpaired your phone reconnected it back up? I’d also suggest deleting the CarPlay settings too.
“Settings”
“CarPlay”
“General” on your phone
There is a settings button on CarPlay too which as light mode and dark mode buttons
@@npoleary I’ll try those, thanks!
thx Nick, any way out to watch videos on Car screen via apple car play
Sadly no, Apple CarPlay doesn’t have that feature
I am working to produce a video on this topic in the future!

很不错的分享！感谢
Hi! Great video but I have a question. Does SharePlay automatically show up in CarPlay after updating my iPhone or do I have to turn it on somewhere? Because that new SharePlay icon/button does not show up on my vehicle’s screen. Do I have to have a subscription to Apple Music for SharePlay to work?
Never mind, I found my answer. I have to have a subscription to Apple Music, which I think is BS.
Yes that’s right you need a subscription to Apple Music
Although quick question, does Apple Music work without a subscription? Have they got a free tier or something?
@@npoleary Hey, thanks for the reply. I don’t think there is a free tier. All I have is all my personal music that I’ve either uploaded or purchased on the old iTunes. You can do a free 7 day trial though.
Ah I see that makes sense
When I did some DJing years ago (yes I actually did 😅) I did own all of my music exactly the way you said. Now I’ve gone down the subscription route, which to be fair having 100 million songs for £11 a month is pretty cool
Does share play works with Spotify? If doesn’t, is there any chance of getting it soon?
Sadly no it’s an Apple Music feature so I doubt they’ll roll it out to others. It’s a selling point to use that instead.
Bear in mind Apple Music vs Spotify, they all have pros and cons. If you’re more used to one over the other, I’d stick with that to be honest 👍🏼
SharePlay is gonna be huge on road-trips 🙌🏾
Defo! 👍🏼
Not if you don't have a paid Apple Music Subscription
Have they resolved the resolution problem in Mercedes MBUX? Currently Waze is displaying in 4:3 instead of 16:9, adding black bars on each side of the display.
Sadly not all cars can do full screen CarPlay. There are other manufacturers who have come across the same before.
The reason is because MBUX (also known as NTG 6) on Mercedes is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything.
So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen.
NTG 7 found in some new cars have higher faster processors and have one screen size leading to a full screen experience on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Hope that explains potentially why it’s like that on some cars!
Another belter, I always appreciate your views & the nuisances of apple CarPlay on iOS 17
Thanks for watching! What did you not like about it? 🤓
@@npoleary yes the apple CarPlay has always been an integral part of my life & I would like to see battery level status on the (home) screen tool bar
Mine too! Always use CarPlay!
Battery level for the phone? Or the car?
Battery level does appear on the right I’ve noticed if you’re using Wireless. If it’s wired CarPlay then it won’t show at all
I have a 2020 4runner and to use Carplay, I must be plugged in to the USB; it doesn't recoginze wirelessly. So, I assume #5, Shareplay will not work in my car?
Yeah Sharplay just depends on your phone and iOS version. If it’s plugged in it will still work.
SharePlay just basically give a virtual aux lead for your passengers to use 🤓
You do need Apple Music though
Hi Nick, from your video compared to the previous version, Apple Car Play seems to use a larger portion of the screen, I also own a Mercedes with MBUX and extended screen. Can you confirm this for me? The black side bands where the temperature of the two zones used to be are no longer there! Thank you

@@npoleary Ok perfect, thanks for the reply. Specifically I wanted to understand why in your class A in your previous videos it wasn't wide screen and now it is. Did you do any kind of coding or is it down to IOS 17?
@gianlucascapolo3890 no it’s down to car manufacturer. This is the only A-Class I’ve owned on my channel, it’s the new facelift / new generation that I featured in a few videos ago.
Any model prior to this will have a cropped screen because of the two screen sizes.
I LOVE crossfade.
I changed back to ‘Hey Siri’ in the settings after using just the word ‘Siri’ for a couple of weeks. Too many false triggerings of Siri in the new set up, something I’d really wanted for a long time….until I started using it 😂 I now absolutely see why ‘Hey’ was used. Much better.
Ive added an apple play/android auto screen to my merc. The older infotainment screen was small and no apple car play. I wish, however there was a quick way to switch aux on/off ! I like to listen to the radio and if my phone rings while im listening to the radio I get no sound unless I go to original car settings and change it in the sound settings…by which time ive missed the call. Any workaround?
I guess it depends on what you’ve installed? This doesn’t sound like a manufacturer installation so what have you added? Another screen or replaced the screen in the car?
What’s the make of the screen / model and year of car?
How do I go about getting widescreen/full screen CarPlay on my car. It is a shame that CarPlay only uses half the screen.

Is there anyway to make CarPlay bigger on the last gen MBUX yet?
Latest Generation supports full screen CarPlay 🤓
MBUX NTG 6 (when you say Hey Mercedes it has lines for the voice assistant)
This has a cropped version of CarPlay because there are multiple screen sizes, 7” and 10.25”
MBUX NTG 7 (when you say Hey Mercedes, it has sparkles for the voice assistant)
This version supports full screen CarPlay as you cannot get it in 7” it’s only available in the full 10.25 screen size so no cropped CarPlay and it’s Wireless too!
Is car share only for that driving session, or does it remember people in future sessions?
Per driving session
It’s kind of like just sharing an AUX cable so you need to connect it up each time 🤓
How to control Music Sound on my iphone15 connected with CarPlay ? I am unable do it using the volume up down bottons available on my iphone.
So with this, you’d just use the device buttons on thing you’ve connected it to.
So if it’s the car, use the volume controls on the car either on the steering wheel or central area.
I have a 3 month old Cla is there anyway to increase the size of the CarPlay display as it’s cropped

Hi Nick, Not closely related to this video, however, how about a video on the ChatGPT Beta integration into MBUX? I’ve wanted to try it however the ‘invalidate your warranty’ bit in the license agreement is a little scary. Have you tried and tested it?
Oh what? Haha that’s sounds weird? Surely not!
No sadly it’s only available in the USA at launch :(
I even wrote up a script and had to scrap the video because it’s not in the UK 😢
Good video.. it actually help me 😆 didnt even know the new features.. Bruv I thought u were Australian until you said south of the UK 😆
Haha nah defo UK 😛
Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@npoleary my bad bruv i did the very thing i hate that happens to me here in America 😆…. I get told i sound south african, Australian and new zealand 😆 everything but where im from the UK 😆
Hi Nick! I hope you get this message & thanks for the video. Quick question, big flaw with Apple Maps, I’m using Ford sync 3 which means I have to plug in using USB to get CarPlay. While using Apple Maps my car display screen will show the map while me iPhone screen will show the time/distance to turnings etc. Unfortunately my iPhone screen will go dark after a few minutes forcing me to having to touch it to wake the screen up, this does not happen with google maps which forces the screen to stay on. I can understand this happening to save battery but as I’m plugged in via usb my iPhone is getting charged at the same time anyway. What are your thoughts on this? Any solution to keep the screen on? Google maps do, why not Apple Maps? Very frustrating thx G
Hey! Sorry little confused
When you use CarPlay, all functionality should go to the car’s screen? It sounded like you said some elements are still on the phone?
CarPlay is in place so that you don’t need to touch your phone while driving.
@@npoleary Hi I’m talking about Apple Maps…..try navigating with Apple Maps you will see turning points displayed on your iPhone & the main map on your display, after a few minutes your iPhone display will go off. Then try navigating with google maps you will get the same functionality on your iPhone & main display except your iPhone display will not shut down after a few minutes. I hope that’s clear:)
Oh I see but turning directions appear on the car’s display too though?
The way what you described would be down to what the app developer has decided to do for Google Maps. The only way for iOS maps to do it would be to change the whole phone setting.
Settings
Display & Brightness
Auto-lock
Set to Never
Hope that helps!
@@npoleary I understand, it is a bit annoying that you have to turn auto lock off while using Apple Maps & have to do nothing while using google maps….I just wandered if you were aware of this issue & if there was a setting on Apple Maps I was missing….keep mobile device screen on/off for instance….anyway many thanks for your help & replying to my messages:)
That’s alright!
You’ll have to submit feedback or a feature request to Apple for their next iOS release. You never know they might do it! They consider all sorts of requests and feedback!

I've been using iOS 17 for a couple months now on my iPhone 12 mini and LOVE the updates to CarPlay, specially offline Maps and SharePlay. My new iPhone 15 Pro Max Black Titanium gets here today, so now I have to get a USB A to USB C cable in order to use CarPlay in my vehicle.
Ah good to see someone else using it!
I’ve upgraded too! Which one did you go for?
I wish they would bring back the all pink wall paper
I would love a RUclips app to play from your phone on the screen when you are parked
This 👆
Maybe one day Apple with make CarPlay where you can select which apps you want to show on screen. Would love to be able to activate and deactivate my home alarm system from car screen. Thanks for sharing
hey nick at minute 5:02 the qr code is visible and you can scan it you may have to adjust that or a lot of people will appear in your car
You legend thank you 🙏
I spend ages blurring out the QR codes but missed one! It's not my actual daily phone running iOS 17 anyway but who knows it could have had an impact! I'll be driving and people could be adding songs to my playlist 😂
RUclips's currency processing a blur on that part of the video, so next time you watch it, it'll be gone!
Thank you again 👊🏼
@@npoleary it's blured now i hope no one scand it 😁 of you have a lot of random music and picures
Haha I bought an iPhone to specifically make this video so it’s not the phone I use day to day.
I use my main phone a lot for replying to comments, managing socials and all sorts so need a reliable iOS. I will defo upgrade to iOS 17 on the main but yeah that QR code could be my iCloud account music playlist! 😂
Don’t need songs being added randomly to my car 😂
Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏
У меня одного после обновы не работает самый низкий уровень звука в аир подс про на 12 про макс, рябь какая то или вообще тишина ?

so still no 4th quick launch icon? I use Maps, Phone, Messages and Music--why do they only have three quick launch icons so one has to be left off?!?!
3:05 I’m still on ios 16 with an iPhone 13 Pro and in my Vauxhall Corsa, you just say, “Hey Siri” without the need to press any buttons.
Hey nick is this only for mercedes features or all carplay
Nope all CarPlay 🤓 will work on any phone that updates to iOS 17. Cars only show the content as CarPlay is your phone so it doesn’t matter on the manufacture.
I trued to use Apple Maps but living in Dallas it just isn’t fast enough if I miss a turn or something it takes forever to update or reroute
There can be a slight delay especially if you use it over Wireless. Have you got it wired?
Great video, but what does Cross Fade actually do?
Thank you! Sorry I should have explained, I assumed everyone knew.
Basically it fades the current song into the next song without a gap.
I have a question
Why when my friend opens his AirPods box it’s picked up in my iPhone
Is it a general problem or does it have a solution?
And is this problem in AirTag too?
It’s probably because he’s connected to it before. As long as the phone isn’t signed in to the iCloud account, check Settings and then Bluetooth. Have a look for the AirPods in there on your friends phone and delete them if you don’t want that to happen
