    Wireless Carplay GPS issue

    After updating to iOS 18 I noticed that Maps background usage is quite significant while using Wireless Carplay in my VW Golf MK8. I don't navigate, only use the Maps widget. The phone should use the car's GPS in wireless mode but control centre shows that Maps is constantly using location...

    Is anybody else having serious volume issues with Apple CarPlay? Ever since iOS18.0 I have had serious issues with Apple CarPlay that I never had before. The volume will work fine for a few minutes and then the volume will only work on the front speaker in my vehicle and then, randomly, the...

    CarPlay - wired - broken with iOS 18.0 and iPhone 16

    I know this is probably similar to the issues iPhone 15 owners experienced last year. But my wife and I have 2 new iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.0 (moving from iPhone 14 Pro Max) and while both can initially connect to our 2018 Mazda6 via CarPlay, the CarPlay interface in the vehicle becomes so...

    Apple is heading for a decline.

    The past 12 months really hasn’t been kind to Apple. The lawsuits, the steps back in their products and ecosystem as a result, one negative headline after another, struggling stocks. But on top of all that, Apple isn’t feeling exciting anymore. Now before you start keyboard mashing to say how...

    CarPlay not picking up on microphone

    Hello! I’ve been having an issue with (wired) CarPlay since the first beta of iOS 18 where Siri can be invoked successfully by either the wake word or by pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel, but Siri then just pauses and doesn’t pick up on any audio from the microphone...

    Whatsapp Business and Siri

    As of 10 days ago and even with the newest 18.1 beta, I still can't ask Siri to send a message to a person using WA Business. Siri responds that the person doesn't have WA messages active. The chats are fine and you can start one or follow a conversation without a problem. I use Siri with...

    Waze and CarPlay working again

    The latest 18.1 beta brings back touch screen functionality to Waze in CarPlay. Since the last version, the reports button or the alternative routes wouldn't work. All the other functions were fine, like searching and even overview of a route. Now everything is working again. :)

    CarPlay Wireless CarPlay Head Unit Recommendations

    Looking to get a Wireless CarPlay head unit, and was hoping to have some recommendations. Prefer double DIN, but could be single DIN for a floating display. Would really like it to have a volume knob. If no volume knob, prefer physical buttons over touch buttons. I want quality audio. Flexible...

    CarPlay CarPlay no longer announcing notifications

    Hello Everyone, I am posting here, hoping that some of y'all have some ideas that could help. Ever since the last iOS 17 update, notifications while my iPhone 15 Pro Max is connected to CarPlay are sporadically being suppressed. It is like I have driving focus on, to block everything. I have...

    CarPlay routing incoming calls to iPhone, not car speakers

    This has been driving me pretty crazy. If I make an outgoing call, the audio goes through the car speakers as it should. If I get an incoming call, audio is routed to the phone every time. Anybody else having this issue? I've read the recommendation to make sure incoming call routing is set to...

    Hi! I have a brand new iPhone 15, the latest iOS 17.4. Using it with CarPlay (wired, using USB-A to USB-C cable that came with my e-book reader, but that should be an issue) the phone gets extremely hot. Before I was using iPhone 11 with the same iOS version and the phone was almost cold. I...

    CarPlay cancels connection when iPhone battery below 50%

    Wired CarPlay has been finicky for both my 15 pro and my wife’s 15 on both of our cars (vw group). If you slightly move the cable car play disconnects. I have tried at this point more than a dozen of cables from apple's official one, to thunderbolt 3,4, usb 3.1, usb 2.0. Really anything. The...

    Wired -- or reliable wireless -- Remote?

    Does anyone know of a reliable solution for controlling audio on an iPhone in CarPlay? My van lacks dedicated FWD/REW buttons on the steering wheel. I picked up a bluetooth media button and it works...sometimes. It works great if the iPhone display is on, but once it turns off, it can take...

    Apple Music How to play downloaded music?

    It’s crazy I have to ask this, but that’s the sad sad state of Siri today. I have 8 Gig of downloaded Apple Music songs on my iPhone and want to play them in my car using Siri. I have toggled off “Mobile Data” for the Music app. Can someone come up with a Siri request that will actually...

    Apple music Lock Screen widget remains after using CarPlay.

    Maybe I’m just missing something but every time I use CarPlay (wired) and listen to music, when I get out of the car I will have the music widget on my Lock Screen with the song paused. I can’t get rid of the widget even if I go into running apps, Apple Music is NOT running. To remove the...

    We’ve been experiencing an odd issue with our new 2023 Sonata, which has the factory stock touchscreen head unit. When connected to an iPhone via CarPlay, regardless of if it’s wired or wireless, if we do something like take a picture, enabling the camera automatically activates the microphone...
