    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...

    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...

    iPhone 14 Pro Dual-frequency GPS in the 14 Pro / Pro Max

    So both the 14 Pro and Pro Max appear to have the dual-frequency GPS which uses both the L1 and L5 GPS frequencies and is marketed as enhancing position accuracy in urban type environments where GPS signals bouncing off the buildings can cause problems. Having had a few problems with my 12...

    Other Which iPhone model do you have and do you experience CarPlay disconnects?

    So I have an iPhone XR and when I'm wired for CarPlay, I almost always have disconnects, especially after getting 3D maps. I've tried all the online solutions. By accident I found out the almost certain cause. Not enough RAM from the 3 GB in the XR. If I force close all my apps and reboot the...

    My wife just got a 2022 Ford Fiesta with a Sync 2.5 radio. It has CarPlay over usb that has so far been about 10% reliable. We’ve tried 3 or 4 lightning cables, a mixture of Apple, Amazon Basics and Anker. Also tried a brand new anker cable. None of them work reliably. We have to keep, plugging...

    CarPlay New Car is intentionally stretching CarPlay picture – anyone else seen this?

    I've been thirsting to have CarPlay at my disposal since it was first announced, but have been waiting for EVs to become more practical. That wait ended this weekend, when I purchased a 2022 Kia EV6. I excitedly plugged in my iPhone 13 mini and noticed the picture wasn't . . . great. After a...

    Changes to Apple Maps via CarPlay on iOS 15 makes accessing features more-dangerous

    I'm using Apple Maps via CarPlay for integrated vehicle navigation. I've had it since iOS 14.x. It works well, and has been great. However a subtle change introduced in iOS15 seems to be a step-backwards in my opinion. Previously, iOS 14 provided a feature where if you wished to mute the...

    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.
