    CarPlay CarPlay Dock (The one on the screen, not a phone holder)

    I've got a gripe with how the Dock functions in CarPlay. I wish it would stay the same and stop changing based on the apps I've interacted with. This is the way it works: The top icon is for navigation, the middle is for audio and the bottom is for communication (but also Settings shows up...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max USB splitter for CarPlay with 15PM and 13PM

    Anyone had any success finding an adapter that works for connecting a USB-A to USB-C cable and a USB-A to lightning cable for CarPlay? I want to be able to run CarPlay from either cable with a 15 PM and a 13 PM connected separately without having to disconnect / connect respective cables from...

    Glitchy Carplay maps since iOS 16.6.1

    Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else so curious if I'm the only one with this issue. Since the update to 16.6.1 last week, I've been having glitchy maps in CarPlay like the image attached. As I continue to drive, it's almost like it's clearing the map tiles from memory too early because the...

    CarPlay Apple Music sounds distorted / Crackling

    Hi , I've using Apple Music & CarPlay for a while and recently picked a Skoda which came with inbuilt 8 speaker setup & woofer. Almost every 3rd song starts sounding as if the speakers are unable to handle the music ( It starts to Jarr ) . Now the same tracks on Spotify & Amazon music play...

    iPhone 13 mini Selecting search results on CarPlay

    Is it just my stereo or is there really no way to tap on the map icons when searching for a place on CarPlay? It will display a list of results with truncated addresses, and a whole bunch of pins on the map. How do I reliably pick one? They're not even numbered like on Android Auto so I have no...

    Carplay = Dangerous?

    When calls come in or go out during navigation, why does Carplay not shift to a Split Screen of Navigation + Phone Call instead of Full Screen Call? It's so dangerous taking navigation away entirely like that, particularly when people are in congested areas where lots of turns may be necessary...

    Car radio randomly stops working when CarPlay is connected

    The weirdest thing, and it happens on my aftermarket radio as well as my wife's Equinox stock radio. iPhone is connected (wired and unwired CarPlay depending on the car), but we're listening to XM or the regular radio through the head unit (not CarPlay). Suddenly the sound stops, and the radio...

    CarPlay Issues with CarPlay disconnecting iPhone while playing music and driving

    I’m currently driving a year old Nissan with CarPlay and plugging in (not even relying on Bluetooth) my iPhone 13PM into it and for two or three years maybe, it plays like clockwork. Seemingly, since the release of iOS 16.4 or so, I set up the phone plugged in, play music from Apple Music, start...

    All iPads iPad as a Car Gauge Cluster

    Hi, I saw this video () and really liked the idea of modernising a car with something like this, but I am quite picky about screen quality and this one only has about 100ppi (I don't really like the 160ppi of my 27" Ultrafine Display), iPads have 260ppi and are at least 60Hz. Added with the fact...

    CarPlay What's up with CarPlay??

    Not sure if it's my truck, the apps I'm using, or CarPlay itself but things have gotten increasingly buggy and unreliable. This morning I couldn't play a song with Spotify without using the phone directly. Music wouldn't play otherwise. Then when I tried to order a coffee with the Panera app...

    Next track steering wheel control no longer working

    I noticed that my steering wheel button to change tracks no longer works on my 2019 GMC Acadia. It worked until about a week ago. If I change back to car radio or SXM, the next buttons works fine. However in CarPlay and using Pandora, it no longer changes to the next song. I also streamed my...

    Hi Guys, Ever since iOS 16.2 was released I am seeing crazy amounts of battery drain while connected to CarPlay. I have AOD off and not even navigation, just listening to music through Youtube Music app. I did a test this morning, charged my iPhone 14 Pro Max to 100%, connected to my car (BMW...

    CarPlay CarPlay + ALAC

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can I play ALAC files on my car's sound system via CarPlay, or is it converted to AAC? I have a Kenwood DMX957XR headhunt, and it supports CarPlay, along with FLAC and AAC files. No mention of ALAC. Just wondering if CarPlay still supports ALAC? Yes, I...

    I get why the thumbs up is there, but why is there just a black box sometimes? Anyone know?

    16.1 on iPhone 12 Pro – CarPlay GPS has gone all wonky, totally unusable

    Location accuracy is soooo bad, on top of being really laggy, it's actually unusable for city driving where I live. Was working fine before the update. Affects all GPS apps, it seems. I see that there was an early GPS bug with iPhones 14, and this sounds similar, but I have a 12 Pro. This is...
