    I can't figure out why my iPhone keeps disconnecting from my car ...

    Lately when I am listening to music on my iPhone 11 Pro through my car stereo (via Bluetooth) and I ask Siri a question, (sometimes) my music will quit playing through via Bluetooth and will start playing on the built in speaker on my iPhone.

    Apple is Making a Car - just not one for you

    This needs to be said. Yes, Apple is making a car. Just not one you will be able to buy. After years of countless rumors and top-level hires, the press world is still uncertain about whether Apple is doing a car, a self driving OS or a ride-hailing service. Guess what, it's all of them...

    iPhone Vehicle Maintenance log app you use

    I want your input on what is the vehicle maintenance app you use with your iPhone. For many years I used the app called Vehicle Logbook - MPG by tinkerbuilt, $4.99, and I love how intuitive the interface was and how I was able to categorize services and it had the backup function using Dropbox...

    Tesla Model 3

    So, what do you all think of it? How about the event? Does anyone strongly dislike it? Personally, I love the design of the car. I think it'll be a big success, although end of 2017 shipping is a problem; other manufacturers can catch up and there will be more competition. As to the event...
