Apple CarPlay is AWESOME when you know how to use it! (FULL Tutorial)

Ғылым және технология

CarPlay has been around since 2014, so there’s a good chance that you’ve either driven a car with it, or been in a car where someone else has been using it. But be honest, beyond using it as a GPS, do you actually know how to use Apple CarPlay? This stock iPhone function is actually really impressive, but you need to know how to get the most out of it, to get the most out of it.

    You didn't mention that you can use Automations with Carplay. That's VERY handy. I have an automation when I start Carplay to check the temperature. If the temperature is below 2 degrees celsius, I have SIRI say to me that I have to drive careful because it could be slippery. And you can do MANY more things with this...

    Great tips, but here’s one I use all the time. I ALWAYS listen to music while driving. I’m also almost always using Google Maps or Apple Maps. My CarPlay screen is perhaps a bit smaller on my car, but if you tap the two squares in the lower left corner, you can see both your driving application as well as your music application, side-by-side, so I can skip songs while still getting all my driving information on one screen.

    Add your home and work addresses to “My card” in Contacts. Make sure these open with correct locations in Maps when tapped. If you launch Maps on CarPlay, it’ll automatically plot the appropriate route, depending on your routines. When you add an event in Calendar, make a habit of entering the location as well. Maps will then plot the route there instead if it’s upcoming. E.g. dental appointment before work, get in in the morning, and Maps plots the route to your dentist instead of to work. Once done at the dentist, it’ll plot the route from there to your office.

    Apple Maps ETA feature in Carplay is fantastic - a feature few know about. For other Apple users, it sends them a temporary Find My Friends link, which is updated in real-time. And for non-apple users, it sends them a formal text with your ETA etc. If you are ahead or behind schedule, it updates them automatically! It even tells the other person when you arrive, so you don't have to remember.

    CarPlay using an Ottocast wireless dongle is a good experience too, my partner uses Android and as we share driving quite often it was a good option instead of swapping out cables every time we hopped in the car. I am enjoying the CarPlay experience on our 7in corolla screen, it is functional and Siri has been reliable whilst driving. I use Waze as default navigation due to its crowdsourced reporting, if Apple maps was half as good in that dept I'd swap. My fave function is my remote garage door button that appears when i'm close to home (around 500mt radius), the same doesn't work in Android sadly. The next generation CarPlay sounds exciting but I honestly don't think its that needed, end of the day there is only so much information/interaction that needs to be distracting the driver. In Victoria Australia our laws have evolved recently that makes it illegal to "scroll" any device (including inbuilt screens) and overhead cameras will capture use and send fines. How they are going to determine a press from a scroll in a picture is beyond me, going to be a lot of drama.

    I use CarPlay daily for gps, music and phone calls while driving. The only issue I’ve come across is Microsoft Teams causes my whole stereo system to reboot. If I try to join a meeting or take a teams call, the whole screen goes black, powers down and then comes back up. When I tried it with my Android, it worked fine. I hope Apple and Microsoft fix that problem. I often take meetings on my commute to the office and have to use my iPad mini and AirPods since the iPhone can’t connect when it’s connected to my car.

Ref the Dartford Toll, you can set an account so it recognises Reg no and takes card payment automatically. Reminders is useful when set in advance to remind you at a certain point on a map to do something (ie get a reminder to post the birthday card that has been sat on the passenger seat for a week, when you are near a certain post box 😬)

    Thanks for your excellent tutorial. In OZ until recently have predominantly using Waze BUT have switched to Apple Maps. I really like the instructions and display of traffic lights that others (Google and Waze) do not show. As for UK we are RHS drivers. I was hoping you might have covered the following "issue" Is there a way to get an iPhone 14 to display the SAME screen as on the Carplay Map screen? My Carplay Screen (in a Subaru) has the SPEED on the LHS - a long way even for peripheral vision. I lock my iPhone onto the Air Vent between steering wheel and RH door so if if it was the SAME display screen as the Carplay vehicle screen it would be basically in my eyesight. Alternatively can the Car Nav Carplay screen be "flipped over"so the Speed limit would then be on the RHS of the screen? The SPEEDS are are a big issue in Subarus as the default NAV is TomTom and the limits are hopelessly out of date on major streets/roads I used. Up to 4+ years out of date. Recently cost me $400 fine and demerit points - first in 40 years. Thanks KevOZ

I know that you should be driving the speed limit anyways but it helps just to make sure you're aware of it. Thanks for the tips, I didn't know/dive into the focus modes yet.

    How to keep the screen from going back to the default map size. If I zoom in the map so can read street names the screen eventually reverts back to zoomed out screen. Love your work.

    Very helpful, thanks. One question, whenever a new version of CarPlay comes out, how does this happen. Is it just part of a new iOS version? Also, does the software in the Head Unit of my car need to be upgraded? I have a third party head unit and have no idea how to upgrade the software.

    Until this past weekend when I installed a system with Apple CarPlay I had NEVER been in a car with it since it was introduced in 2014. Even if it was actually in the car the driver either wasn't using it or didn't need to use it while we were driving around. In the two days I've had it I do think it's a very useful system and I will take advantage of it. I could still live without it but here it is and I might as well justify the cost!

    Question - I have used Apple CarPlay for years and love it - my only frustration is when I prefer to listen to my favorite Sirius XM stations over Spotify or songs on my iPhone, anytime I check a notification at a stop light or have Siri read me a text, it boots me out of the my cars audio system and takes me into songs on my iPhone - does anyone know of a way to avoid this? Or do I just deal with it as I have been? TIA!

    Great video. I drive a 2022 Mustang Mach E and use Apple CarPlay and something interesting stopped happening that is frustrating me; the dock on the screen in my car is on the bottom and it displays the last 3 apps used and now, somehow, when I go from one to the other, there is no more tone that I hear, when i touch the screen... The interesting thing is that "touch tones" everywhere else in Ford's SYNC system, just not in CarPlay. I've gone through settings and can find nothing to enable/disable touch tones in CarPlay, any thoughts on what I may be missing here?

    I have had CarPlay on two EV's...first a Chevy Bolt and now on a Ford Mach E. It has worked very well for me in both cases. My "gripe" is that it only allows limited scrolling (in both cars) for albums downloaded to the iPhone. I understand not scrolling while driving using my hand, but it seems like there should be enough flexibility with Siri to access any album on the phone. That might be the case with the relatively simple titles of Pop albums...but with the complexities of classical metadata, it is very difficult for the classical listener. I have made a great number of classical playlists with simplified titles, but the results of calling for these by name have been mixed at best. Sooo...what that means is less spontaneity of selection (if you're a classical listener) and that you really need to decide what you want to listen to before you put the car in gear. Also, I prefer to use PlexAmp (for albums not on the phone) but that app, though on CarPlay, does not respond to voice commands. So given that the iPod started out as a music player and morphed into the iPhone when telephone was added it is surprising to me that the least attractive feature is control of music by Siri...again, this is much less of a problem with Pop music than Classical music. Maps works as well, for me, as Waze or Google maps and responds much better to Siri commands. Voice-texting gets used a lot and provided one's elocution is not defective works almost 100% of the time. So my ratings for these options are iMessage (10), Maps (8), Music (5) all when controlled by Siri voice command. The problems are not Siri problems, per se, but incomplete programming of Siri talking to these most-used (for me) app options.

When using apple maps i have the option of my next turn being displayed on my dash cluster or on my heads up display. Both can be really useful. I prefer having my next turn on my heads up display. But it doesn’t always work. Jeep said there will be a software update ti fix the issue.
