CarPlay Carplay update

Yes. Make sure you have Apple Maps installed and Siri enabled, or the new home screen won't work for you. This is the #1 most asked question I've seen about the iOS 13 betas. If you uninstall Apple Maps or disable Siri, there's no way to access this new feature.
What are you going to use it for then? I am really looking forward to the CarPlay update, probably more than any other function on iOS13.
I'm currently using Waze, SXM, iHeartRadio, Spotify and Siri... really wishing that Apple would allow 3rd party maps in the Dashboard view...
Seriously. As a dedicated Waze user, the dashboard, which is arguably the biggest CarPlay update this year, is completely useless to me.
Agreed .... I also live in a country where Apple Maps doesn’t support navigation.... come on Apple not everyone lives in the US !
Why is is pink? My Dashboard is not pink.
With that said, I do hope/wish that Apple opens this up to third party maps... I, too, prefer Waze over both Google Maps and Apple Maps for navigation.

Mine looks a little better because my screen isn't as wide, so the panels on the right don't take up as much space. I also don't have the two dots below the panels, so they can extend further down. A one-size-fits-all approach, which is what Apple usually goes with, doesn't work as well when you have displays that are super wide or super tall, unfortunately.
The dots are there on mine, as well, though not as obvious/prominent as shown above. They actually represent the different "pages" of CarPlay icons. The first (left-most screen) is the Dashboard split-view screen. Scrolling to the right will take you to the standard desktop view with the app icons. I actually have three dots, because I have two pages of app icons. To go to the Dashboard view, you can push the little icon on the bottom left of the "recents" column OR just swipe left to get to it.
Also, the "recents" column is somewhat restricted, as it only shows one map app no matter how many you have or how recently you've used them... and the same for audio apps.
I’m happy with CarPlay 13 overall, Music looks great for example, but that Dashboard is just a big disappointment.
Yeah, Apple should release a iPhone update to create a smart(er) dashboard View.![FA59-A8-BC-80-C7-4-FA8-9786-A984-F45-B35-A5.jpg]()
