Is Apple CarPlay Worth It?
Is Apple CarPlay worth the money? When it came out people were amped, but now that companies like Pioneer are selling it, anyone can get their hands on it.

    Why are you complaining about buttons being small? There is a reason Apple added "Hey Siri". It's also the same reason your battery level isn't being shown. The phone has to be connected for CarPlay to work. That means it is charging, & you can say Hey Siri at any time.

    I think that this review is not about carplay entirely. If I remember correctly the lag varies between manufacturers. I saw a video showing apple maps with a night mode. I think some of the problems, specifically lag could be the touch screen pioneer used. Sure there carplay is not great either.

    Great honest review. I feel the same way after removing my trusty eclipse 2454 unit to install the avic 8000 with car play. Very disappointed in car play and truthfully the head unit compared to my decade old eclipse unit. I hope apple updates the car play soon or it was a waste of money on my end. I was hoping it would be a very close to the same as using my iPhone 6 but in the dash. Nothing like it. laggy, maps won't work in hybrid or satellite view. Etc etc

    There is another company nobody knows about that lets you use ANY large screen head unit, his has a box that goes between the dash and the radio and uses his own OS on any Kenwood, Pioneer or Alpine deck. So when you turn it on it bypasses the OS already on the unit and loads the OS from the small box. It looks so much better than either of these. I can't remember the name I have to search through my hundreds of web bookmarks to find him again.

Yes, many of the CarPlay features are duplicates of the head unit functions, but only CarPlay allows you to do things without touching button after button after button. For those of us who prefer to drive with two hands, this is a HUGE deal.

    My phone reads my messages aloud if in the car using a Tasker profile. It also lets me reply top them and it lets me access Google Now by saying "ok Google" so you can use voice commands. It's pretty cool and I had to spend less than ten bucks on apps. The only thing it displays is music stuff but the voice info is still pretty cool. The voice also sounds way more natural. Siri sounds pretty robotic. I followed a tutorial from Armando Ferreira in KZread to set up my Tasker stuff. I don't have to plug it in anywhere or anything :) it detects when the car's navi is close, even takes away my phone's PIN when I'm home. :) It also silences my phone as soon as I get to work or if I'm at the movie theatres. :) It also changes settings to save battery under 20% charge, then reverts them when charging. I feel like it's a much smarter device now. Check it out.

    Sucks that some apps like Waze will not work with iOS 8 on Apple Car Play such as the Keyboard Screen Input has bugs. Other features of Waze work ok apaprently. It works fine with the Android Auto mode turned on using Waze. Pioneer has not said if they ever bother to plan to fix it or tell Waze to make a special version just for iOS 8 that works with the Apple Car Play fully functional.
