    Carlinkit MMI, 2015 BMW 335i Hi all, I’m having an issue with an aftermarket MMI to add CarPlay to an older BMW. Everything works — audio, display, microphone — except I can’t switch between CarPlay and iDrive by holding ‘menu’ like I’m supposed to be able to. I’m hoping someone here has an...

    CarPlay Google maps in Carplay suddenly stopped working properly

    Can anyone solve this problem for me? Google Maps has suddenly stopped working properly when I plug my iPhone into my car and use Carplay. I can type in a destination but, instead of the immediate route coming up on the screen with voice instructions, all I get is a map. As I go along the route...

    CarPlay CarPlay outgoing call screen takeover

    Does it drive anyone else crazy that whenever you make an outgoing call from CarPlay, it takes you to the call screen? It's super frustrating when you are trying to follow directions in an area that you don't know particularly well, only to make an outgoing call and have to switch back to...

    iPhone Apple Maps & Police Marking

    i Know with the release of iOS 14.5 Apple Maps has the ability to submit a “Speed Trap”. I’m curious what this actually means? I just tested Apple Maps out on a round trip drive from Detroit to Cleveland and back, and kept Waze running in the background while using Apple Maps in the foreground...

    Hello, I got my first iphone (12) in January and have been using it in a Honda Civic with no issues. Both my personal and work phone (iPhone 8) were upgraded to 14.6 last Wednesday.

    CarPlay Apple Music weekly new albums

    I’ve just notice is that in the music app under browse in CarPlay, there was a new music section of the weekly new albums that came out. Now I don’t see it or it’s somewhere else. Anyway we can customize this section to show what we want. Probably not, it’s apple.

    Hey, so this may be a bit of a weird one, but help is appreciated. I just got my iPhone 12 mini, and I want to mount it to the dashboard of my car so it’s kept safe whilst driving. However, I don’t want to buy a proper MagSafe cable as I can’t use it in my car (CarPlay requires a wired...

    Hi there, since some weeks I've noticed that my phone has a higher amount of Screetime, but I thought it must be from me locking up the macbook air delivery very often and other parcels for christmas coming. But recently I have found out that Waze, despite running on my Car Display in CarPlay...

    CarPlay CarPlay likes to turn itself on (even though I have it disabled in iOS 14.2).

    So, I normally have CarPlay purposely disabled on my iPhone probably 99% of the time (reasons). However, when I updated to iOS 14 (now on 14.2), I notice the iPhone would spontaneously turn on CarPlay even though it is deliberately switched off on my iPhone. CarPlay will sometimes come up even...

    "small" Siri and phone interface in CarPlay?

    Can't seem to find anything about this online yet. Has anyone with ios14 and CarPlay seen if Siri and the phone interface will be "small" like it will be on the phone?

    iPhone Carplay Dashboard: Did I imagine this feature as I've not seen it working yet?

    With iOS 13.4 finally allowing 3rd party maps to be used in the Carplay Dashboard window it got me thinking I'm sure when Apple announced Carplay dashboard they said that the headunit would be able to feed data back to Carplay to update the now playing tab. I was under the impression that if...

    Hi Everyone, I've been testing a couple of iPhones with CarPlay in my 2019 Subaru - which supports wired CarPlay (not wireless). What I've found is that during music playback (Spotify, Tidal), there are occasional 'pops' and micro-pauses. These might occur every few minutes, or sometimes...

    iPhone CarPlay no longer displaying reminders?

    I upgraded to iOS 13, then 13.1, and I've noticed that my reminders aren't showing up on my CarPlay display anymore. Anyone else having this issue? Are they no longer supporting that? Seems useless if it won't pop up on there like it did before iOS 13.

    You’ll need to unlock your cellphone first

    For the last 9 months I’ve been able to press (while iPhone X screen is locked) the steering wheel voice button (hold down for 3 sec) and say send text message or check my schedule and Siri works. Now, if my phone screen is locked I get, “You’ll need to unlock your cellphone first, and I don’t...
