I live in an area where cellular service is not reliable. What people like me need is an implementation of CarPlay that doesn’t require Siri. For example, I have over a dozen saved Apple Maps locations. With my Mazda’s Car Play implementation, I can’t view/select beyond the first few locations.
When I’m connected to CarPlay and my phone is not silenced the tone for text messages plays over my car speakers and it is absolutely piercing! Is there any way to disable that without switching my phone to silent?
I have a BMW I3 2019 and the most annoying is the full screen isn't utilised. Do you know how to remove the default field on the screen hiding 30% of the screen? I can only use this field as for BMW's navigation tab like compass and etc...
not possible. there's two ways/ Get BIMMERCODE with with OBD bluetooth connector and code out full screen and that might do it. Otherwise you have to actually code the dme
Nice video. One question - is there way to mirror iPhone on CarPlay? Using some app or something. Primarily looking to mirror some video from my iPhone
Thanks for this info! I noticed when playing music from my iPhone 12 Pro through CarPlay with my iPhone connected via a lightning to USB cable, the music sounds tinny with little to no bass. Playing music wirelessly via Bluetooth sounds a lot better. Would you know why this is? Is the music compressed more through the USB?
I have a mercedes glc 2022 and I have been looking for those arrows to extend carplay but no luck even though i have the latest update of IOS, is there a way to activate those arrows?
Not related to this video but why does my wife’s iPhone take over my Car Play. Examples, if she is on the phone and I start my car to leave, suddenly I am on the phone with whomever she was talking to and she is cut off. Or, I am in the car, set up my music, listening waiting for her as we are going somewhere. As she approaches the car with iPhone in her purse, Bingo, I lose my music, and no amount of button pushing help, I simply lose all control of the system. Any thought or is the a separate video completely? Doug
You said at the 10 minute mark you would link the wireless carplay adapter you like in the description, but unfortunately I can't find a link. I'm trying to find an adapter for my 2019 Acura MDX - would love a recommendation. The amazon reviews are mixed on most of these dongles.
Any chance we will have the Apple clock app on CarPlay? It would be great to have the clock displayed on my car screen. Time is displayed now in tiny displays in cars, can’t we just have a nice big clock display on screen ?
would be great to let people know things here are vehicle specific. Mine, for example, doesn't allow full screen viewing or have the arrows at the top left.
I have removed the calendar app from CarPlay. It does not show when I swipe left. However, events from my calendar still show on the main split screen. Is there a way to make it where it never shows any event? I haven’t been able to figure it out. Thanks.
Do you know if there is a way to get "Siri" to hear better? I have to turn the radio off in order for Siri to hear what I say, even with the microphone right in front of me in the dash?
Hi there, Thanks so much for this, a real help. Do you perhaps know how to change the shortcut icons from the left side of the screen to the right side? I drive a right handed steering vehicle and my icons are also on the left, quite a stretch to reach.
carplay is so buggy on my new F150. every time i get into the vehicle i have to hit the little arrows on the left twice to go full screen. It never stays that way. Also my Sirius radio never stays on either. I always listen to Howard Stern but every time i get in the vehicle there is no sound. I have to select another channel first and then go back to the howard stern channel to get sound. This happens 99% of the time.
Hey man i cant scroll on the map when i am using navigation i can only use the arrows in the bottom right do i need to change something so i can scroll on the map it would be much better
Half the time when I connect to CarPlay, music will automatically start. I HATE that but cannot find a reliably prevent it from happening. Can you help?
I have a Ram truck and had the same issue. Finally found a setting in the head unit to Auto Play when Bluetooth connection is present. I turned that off and now music only plays when I choose it
My carplay on my honda doesn’t allow me to change size. I wish I could when I have it on split screen where I could make the map bigger. I just normally run the map in full screen. I don’t have those arrows above the time
I just bought a Mercedes Sl 450 and hooked my Apple phone to CarPlay. Every time Waze tells me a direction, the car radio shuts off and will not come back on unless I press radio button again. How do I get car radio to come back on automatically after each Waze direction?
1st thing to do is make sure your iPhone has latest firmware. Next is to update the firmware in your car. Once this is all done, test it. if you still have a problem, delete you iPhone from your car, then add back in. This may work, can’t guarantee. Most cars today can be set to get updates from your house wifi, the download and install is slow.
Thank for the great video! ... I was hoping to solve my problem with Ooono (HW speed cam notifier), but your advertised setting in notifications "show in carplay" is not available in my menu - iOS 17.4.1 iPhone 13 pro (Europe) 🙄
That’s not CarPlay it’s the maps, If you mean you get lost. I went on vacation last year Apple Maps got me listening to 4 times in 3 weeks. Apple & google maps are both junk.
The aftermarket WiFi is great if you want your phone off the internet. If you connect your iPhone to CarPlay via the dongle device you cannot to the internet even if you have cell service. If an iPhone thinks you are connected to WiFi it sets up default routing out the WiFi device expecting that is your connection to the web.
Ok bro you realize some of the things your showing are vehicle specific right? For example wallpaper is only available for some cars after a certain year. Also as someone who has sold cars for a long time. It's always amazing to me how many folks don't know how to even get their phone to connect to carplay or Android auto. My mother for example has a 2018 gmc acadia Denali and she even having it since it was new asked me recently where her cds are if I knew where they are. Of course I was instantly telling her she doesn't need them because she has an iPhone and can just play whatever she wants thru carplay. My biggest issue these days is the quality of the audio. In some cars it's not a big deal like my audi rs5 bang and olufsen. However if I'm driving my 06 cadillac sts with bose. Despite it having a huge sub in the back it always sounds like it has zero bass unless playing a cd. It would be nice if there were a way to get a half way good equalizer nowadays. Either for our phones or cars. I guess I'm old school in a lot of ways. I have a very nice 1100 dollar at the time Samsung sound bar with sub that's really nice. But it fails to compare to my old onkyo 12.1 receiver that uses actual wires and fiber to connect to the TV or computer
apart from music playing and sat nav carplay is pretty useless, only when it can interact with the cars own info system will it be useful (controlling heaters etc)
I have a Ford Super duty and the radio does what it wants😁 when it wants. The dealer says there is nothing wrong. My friends think it's funny that my radio takes "breaks" every once in a while 😂
Dongle for wireless car play was the best accessory I ever bought for my car/iphone. It connects within 15 seconds and just works. For long trips I plug my car in to charge, but for short trips I don’t bother. And I don’t even have to take my phone out of my purse for car play to work.
I just wish it wasn’t so restrictive on apps. Particularly for me, not allowing RUclips. A. It doesn’t have to include video. There’s plenty of stuff I “watch” on RUclips that’s very audio based and I still like to listen to when I’m not watching. B. CarPlay isn’t JUST for the driver. It would be nice to be able to have video on it while parked or for passengers.
@@MrXMasterTrader which is no different from what’s been done for the last 15 years with Bluetooth making CarPlay a moot point if you’re gonna use your phone for the same stuff.
I wish I could download the western States all the way from the Canadian border to southern California so I don’t have to get a US SIM card to drive to California. If there’s enough room on my phone I should be able to download as much map as I actually need
What if I’m driving my wifes car and she is in it. And I want to listen to the radio, then she opens Facebook and the car starts car playing a video. Can I turn off auto switch to car play??? CARPLAY is the WORST.
Great video, but not all CarPlay systems are the same. Depends on the automaker. A lot of those features you have I do not have in my RAM truck. Should’ve mentioned that in your video.
I found it too much of a distraction and now default to using the cars system. I also found it was often slow and buggy, so playing my music would often not work very well.

Great video! Btw does wireless carplay not drain alot batteri using mobildata? ofc. wireless convenient.
Very small amount. Probably 1 to 5 percent in 2 hours.
Thanks!
Anytime and thank you for the generous tip. ❤️
Every time I think about using wireless CarPlay, I realize I prefer to have the phone charging while using CarPlay. 🤷🏻♂️
Nothing wrong there. For long road trips that’s me all the way. But for short drives I always leave my phone in the car charger. 😂
Many of my daily trips are short and I keep my phone in my pocket so wireless is very convenient.
My car has a wireless charge pad but not wireless CarPlay. I may get a dongle for that reason.
