Hey guys! Since recording this video, Apple released Beta 2 of iOS 18. The only change that I could see was on the bottom right icon (to switch between the split screen view and the main home screen with all of the icons). There's a way to go yet till September so I'll keep you updated if there are any changes! → SUBSCRIBE HERE: kzread.info/dron/8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucw.html

All we want is a full screen update on previous mbux systems 😂

come on apple! let us watch videos when we are NOT driving.

As mentioned in another comment, I wanted to also thank your for your videos, they have been a great help. I received my EQB 250 a few weeks ago and have been watching loads of your videos.(went for this over the 350 for that little bit more range). As for latest CarPlay seems, does not look that much different at all.

Apple CarPlay will work on any car with CarPlay as it’s your phone. So it’ll will work on any Mercedes model (as long as it has CarPlay)

Apple may hold on to new wallpapers for September release, or for RC (Release Candidate) versions of the beta builds, lets keep hoping! Otherwise I fully agree with the feature you mention, dark mode icons (at least, i could go without the tint) should be available in CarPlay as well.

I can see how to show the Speed Limit on Apple Maps but I cannot get it to warn me if I exceed it, unless I am missing something. That would be a really nice feature. For that need I use Waze but I find it difficult to make Waze the default navigation app - is that possible?

Looking forward to this update. Not going to be trialling it on my personal phone. But looking forward to it being wireless with a certain adapter. I’m sure you know what I mean 😉. Which btw is still going strong 👌🏼 Great video as always Nick. Hope you’re doing well.

i will add this, ford already talks with the current version of carplay, when my low fuel light comes on i get a notification to find a fuel station on my phone. i hope going forward they can integrate next gen car play with current hardware via a software update. alot of their vehicles already have the 12 inch main display for speed and revs etc.

Is there an easy way to adjust the volume of notifications in CarPlay? I find them to be startlingly loud on my Mercedes, even when music or audio is low. The only way I’ve figured it out is to turn down all notifications on my phone itself, or silencing it like you mention in the video, but it seems that I shouldn’t have to do that.

@npoleary

2 күн бұрын

The update in this would solve that (sort of) you can have it silence the notifications in the car but not when you’re out and about. Sadly not seen a way to turn it down though

Hey Nick, Would next gen carplay taking over the cars display of speed, rpm, etc work without a mobile network connection? I don’t know about the UK but in Australia even the major highways & expressways have mobile blackspots where there’s no reception. I don’t think “sorry officer I didn’t know I was speeding cause I had no reception” is gonna cut it 😅

@npoleary

Күн бұрын

Yes it would take over but it directly communicates with the car’s systems. That’s why it won’t work on any physical car that’s being sold today. It’ll only work on cars that manufactures have built from the ground up. Aston Martin & Porsche have both confirmed there is a model coming out this year which whatever it is, I want to test and see!

I wish I could have the ALTITUDE integrated somewhere !

Thanks Nick, very interesting. Not actually that bothered about the full car play implementation allowing customization of dials, because Mercedes are already a long way there. As you know we can already change dials and information, and presumably Mercedes will continue to enhance. Personally I think it's great now. Also I find I use hey Mercedes more than siri because you can of course control car functionss safely not possible with a siri and not likely anytime soon without getting a new car. My request to apple 1. Improve the connection process to the car, it is generally reliable but can vary in speed and sometimes just not function (see in my Mercedes and also in my wife's audi). Add error message dispay if it recognizes a problem. 2 what about an apple radio, yes I know there are radio apps but integration with Siri is generally terrible or very limited. Mercedes integration with in car radio is far far superior to using siri with a radio app. 3 improve siri integration with Apple maps, Mercedes again miles superior with integration to the Mercedes sat nav

Sorry not sure on V177, what make is that? Apple CarPlay varies from car manufacturer to car manufacturer. Not all cars can output full screen CarPlay, just depends on the multimedia system.

I would also like to use the next version of CarPlay, but Mercedes is not opting for that at this time. I read that they feel they would no longer be able to monitize their own infotainment apps via MercedesMe. It's disappointing, but perhaps in the future...

Really interesting video and ahead of other influencers 😊 You alluded to it but I would like to see Apple introduce a You Tube/Netflix app for Car Play linked to motion sensing of phone to enable video when car is stationary for say when charging an EV. Tech is on board phone and hackable so introduce an official motion sensitive version.

@@npoleary Thanks Nick, interesting point. There are videos on You Tube of the Carbridge/LetsView/ApowerMirror applications that that enable you to mirror your iphone on your car entertainment display piggybacking on Apple CarPlay which made me wonder if it was doable. The apps might change frame rate but if they do it might not be a stretch for Apple to integrate automatic changes to frame rate within the CarPlay wrapper.

In my case (iPhone 14, iOS 17.5), somewhere in the last past months, that feature was silently killed, surely through out one of the iOS updates. I wonder if other users out there have experienced similar or different situations regarding this. Perhaps it is worth a proper Nick O'Leary channel investigation 😀
