    CarPlay Maps w/Apple Watch Issue

    Has anyone found a way to turn off the Apple Watch notifications for turning only while connected to CarPlay? I want the notifications when I am walking and using directions, but while I am driving I would rather not have Maps open on my watch and getting tapped for every turn. Thanks! Macaddict16

    Question IOS 10 said to put more info on bigger car screens. Anyone have a car where that’s working

    Cars like the 2017 Mercedes E300 and the 2017 Audi Q7 have 12 inch screens and support CarPlay. Apple says that CarPlay for IOS 10 will actually make it possible to show more info on such screens. I'm curious if anyone has SEEN that working, OR if anyone has tried IOS 10 CarPlay on these or...

    Is CarPlay wireless with the new iPhone?

    I didn't see it anywhere. I'm considering buying a new head unit that uses CarPlay. Any CarPlay experts here? Reviews? Did CarPlay get updated with the new music app? Is the Pioneer SPH-DA120 any good? It's the cheapest head unit I've come across so far. Thanks!

    CarPlay not showing in settings - iPhone 6

    Hi! I can't setup CarPlay on an iPhone 6. When I go to settings, general, the CarPlay option is not there. Is there anything else I have to do to see it? I am using the latest beta of iOS 10. Thanks for your help! Gus

    My Experiences with CarPlay

    A couple of weeks ago I had a nasty shunt in my car so I've had to send it to the garage for repairs. In the meantime, I've been renting a truly terrible Opel Corsa 1.4. While it drives like a dog and has less puff than my desk fan, it does have some interesting interior options including...

    CarPlay changing my usage of Siri and Maps

    I've been using iPhones for years and two things I have not used much at all are Siri and Apple Maps. I tried both initially but then quickly abandoned them. I installed a CarPlay head unit a few weeks back and since then I've been using both a lot more. I've discovered the coolness of asking...

    CarPlay Directions in Centre Dial

    Does anyone know how apple is implementing this? Surely it's defendant on the car manufacturer itself updating their infotainment system to allow it?

    CarPlay - Navigation in 3D vs 2D

    Posting this here because the MR admins won't create a CarPlay forum. I am using a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX with an iPhone 6S+. I prefer the 3D navigation where it gives you a "point of view" orientation to the map. If I use CarPlay to put in a destination, it comes up in 3D navigation mode. I...

    CarPlay - Can't get it to come on with Pioneer AVH-4200NEX

    Because MR won't create a CarPlay forum, this is where this gets to go. This is to hopefully help other folks that are having a problem with new CarPlay use. I bought and installed a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX head unit for my F-150 truck. Got it wired up and could not get it to respond to my iPhone...

    Alexa CarPlay App???

    Two days ago, when I connected my phone to CarPlay, the Amazon Alexa app appeared. I was able to open it, but nothing was there. Then yesterday, it disappeared. Any idea what's going on?

    Apple CarPlay - Video Audio Issues

    So I rented a car this weekend that had Apple CarPlay. This was my first time using it and it was okay, not too bad. While my phone was plugged in and I was using Apple CarPlay, I took some videos with my iphone. Did not think anything would affect my videos until I returned home and went back...

    100's of Apps... 12 for Carplay

    I was so excited to get my new car (2016 Civic) with Apple's Carplay software. I have a lot of apps on my phone (I actually have alphabetized folders to sort them), but only about 12 apps are on my Carplay screen. I know a lot of the apps wouldn't be needed in Carplay mode, but I also have a lot...
