Yeah, but do CarPlay maps show up in the instrument binnacle yet? ?

I would like to see how someone with the J1-II controls their ambient lightning in Carplay. That would be fun. They have the map on the dash but honestly that's always been completely useless feature for me to have a map there. Any map.

The sound profiles via Carplay always appear a better listening experience to me than the settings via PCM ?‍

How do you do that..............? J1

Do what?

If works on 1st gen surely it works in 2nd gen. Likely need to have latest iOS. Possibly beta version. See 1st photo. Ambient lighting controls on right side. After selecting Controls from 2nd pic.

On gen 2 they have a wheel custom color picker and I wonder how's that integrated in the Carplay interface.

I'm a huge Apple fan boy and a self-claimed tech nerd. I honestly don't see the added value of having Carplay / Android Auto, the Carplay interface is also too cartoon'ish for me. What am I missing?

I always believed Carplay was for cheap vehicles so you had some sat-nav there and easy controls for radio etc. And a luxury feeling. PCM offers me a better phone intergration, sat-nav, Apple Music, Weather app, settings for ALL vehicle settings, not just a random selector etc.

I love Carplay for variety of reasons. First it gets updates much easier than the car. All the logic is on the phone which is mostly transmitting to a screen in your car. It's the same contact list and apps on every car you drive. Waze - huge plus. Where I live every pothole, camera, hidden cop is marked there. Spotify, YT Music, Apple Music without the need for integration with every carl, calendar, siri, etc. And it's just better UX than everything else including the overhyped Tesla which I am sorry to say but in terms of UX is rubbish.

+1 to Waze
If you're not using Waze all the time, you're doing driving wrong. At least in the USA, it's essential.

How did you get 18.1?

He must be on the Beta. Good to know it's coming though. I'll wait for the general release.

 

[castadream]

How did you get 18.1?

Settings - software update - and sign up for betas. Or just wait a little bit for general release.

I don't believe 18.1 is a Beta....
