One thing you missed that I use all the time. Calendar integration. I used Apple shared calendar with my wife to keep track of all the kid's activities. One of the things I do I a set reminder for them and I always add the address of the event and an alarm to alert me when it is time for me to leave from my current location and 30 minutes before. Then when I get in my car it always has the calender reminders location as a suggestion. It already has the best route for me to take with traffic info so it routes me around bad traffic. Also, if I am in the car when the calendar reminder comes up it also has maps in the reminder so it will take me right to maps and start taking me the fastest way to the event. Works well.
Carplay was a deal breaker for me too when I was shopping for a new car. Companies need to realize how important CarPlay and Android Auto are in a vehicle.
I just purchased a brand new 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 and I have owned it for 3 months now and my apple car play hasn’t froze on me and works flawless
I’m watching this on 1.25x. It’s very true that you get used to it so quickly. I can’t stand watching on 1x speed anymore (with one or 2 exceptions). Ain’t nobody got time for that!
I recently put in a Pioneer Nex2330 carplay head unit in my 02 Honda Accord. It also freezes up while loading up in Car play with my Iphone 6 + occasionally. It is amazing how a modern Car stereo makes your daily commute to work a lot more fun. Bluetooh alone is worth it. I'm glad I upgraded my old Honda car stereo head unit to my Pioneer.
You don’t have to wait to until Siri reads your sms back to you before sending it. As soon as Siri starts reading it back to you just activate Siri again and say send and the message will be sent without reading the entire message
I did some research and the freezes on my CarPlay was due to my VPN on my iPhone switching between networks. Once I deactivated the VPN, it never gave me an issue again.
I absolutely love CarPlay, I use it everyday in my 2018 GTI and I’ve never had any freezing issues or any other issues with it. It’s a must have for any driver.
Yes it does start constantly automatically play the first song from the library. I was writing to apple multiple times and I am switching to Spotify for this. Bug is not in car play but in the music app and Bluetooth management.
I haven’t even gotten through 30 seconds and I already appreciate you for mentioning time stamps 🙌🏻 So appreciated. I’ve already given it a thumbs up 😂
The freeze ups are somewhat common. Happens in my 2016 Volt once in a while, and it did in my old car with a Pioneer head unit. In both instances, I need to turn the car off completely to get CarPlay to work again. Wireless CarPlay is the way to go if you can get a car or head unit with the feature.
ANY car older than two years would hugely benefit from a headunit upgrade featuring (wireless) CarPlay AND a built-in DSP. I upgraded to a new Pioneer top tier unit for my 2012 vehicle and it has helped the factory Bose system reach heights I never dreamed of. We are talking competition level performance. DSPs are worth EVERY penny.
Good tips. I always wait for the HU to come up before I plug in my iPhone. And I use one of those magnetic cables which beats fiddling to plug in the regular lightning jack. Especially when driving. Use the magnetic cable at home to.
Have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. No issues with CarPlay. Good video!

The Sygic GPS Navigation app is by far the world's finest navigation. It has the most stunningly beautiful views of the skies, mountains, and meticulously-crafted 3D buildings. It makes every other navigation product look insanely ugly and boring beyond belief. I have been an Android supporter my entire life, however, for the very first time ever, I will actually consider switching to Apple, for only one reason. AndroidAuto does not and will not support the compatibility of the Sygic GPS Navigation app. However, CarPlay does!!! I have only one question for you. Can you still use your iPhone to do other activities while the CarPlay's navigation is simultaneously running on your car's stereo screen? For instance, can you use the Uber app on your phone while simultaneously allowing the CarPlay's navigation display on your car's stereo screen by default as a form of eyecandy? Furthermore, can your car's stereo play the radio in the background while simultaneously displaying the CarPlay's navigation on your car's stereo screen?
You can used google maps in CarPlay, I used it in my 2018 Honda Accord sport. They release the update a few months ago. Now I haven’t had any freezes or problem with CarPlay. Now the only thing that I don’t like is that if I’m in using the maps and it appears in CarPlay. If you go to your phone and go to Apple Music it takes the navigation off the car screen. I understand it mirrors your phone. But that the only thing that I don’t like.
Android Auto doesn't do that and let's you use your phone as you please while still retaining what's on the screen. I have both and Google maps on iOS is like using a whole new app altogether while on Android Auto it's like using it on your phone. Basically Android Auto let's you multi-task while iOS doesn't doesn't at all. Carplay does run at a higher resolution though kinda like 720p vs 480p on Android Auto.
I wish there was a youtube carplay app where you could listen to a youtube video while u drive because sometimes id like to listen to a review/ diy video while driving
Love your videos my friend… great information, perfect tone and production, and best of all your tips helps me enjoy my tech so much more. Thanks for doing this!
I drive a 2018 Honda Accord Touring 1.0 Turbo. Honda issued a recall late last year which addressed the rear camera cutting off while the car was in reverse, it included a complete re-install of the infotainment system firmware which also fixed the HUD (heads up display) where the compass and other navigation graphics would vanish for weeks. That firmware update also seemed to reduce the CarPlay freezing down to a minimum of 1-2 times per day unlike when I first bought the car and it happened 6-7 times per day. Note: When I say freezing I'm referring to when music is playing in CarPlay - (Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Music, or others) then a few minutes into the track the audio stops but the elapsed time is still ticking away on the screen. I have to press PAUSE, wait a few seconds then press PLAY to continue the music.
Carplay works really well in my 2016 Mustang...I had to change the USB module in the car which took no tools and was only $40. No problems, no freezing and the UI for Ford's AC controls show up over the carplay display without issue.
I just leased a new Toyota RAV4 with Carplay. To my surprise, up popped my library app where I get a lot of audio books from for free. Awesome! I won’t say I understand everything yet, but after two whole days, I’m definitly a fan. Go Apple!
Going to pickup a friend at the airport. Man a flight check/tracker on the cars screen would be killer❗️❗️❗️”Flight 107 from somewhere just landed at GATE C” Yes

After our 2016 Hyundai Sonata PHEV (which had CarPlay) was bought back as a Lemon (Jan '18), we searched for a replacement. My wife insisted on CarPlay, so Toyota was out. We bought a '18 Accord 1.5T Touring. She loves it. She uses CarPlay for her work to stay in touch and informed about texts and emails... Our other car also has CarPlay (Volvo S90)
I wish someone makes a Carplay navigationapp that (besides navigation) shows a live map where you can personalize gadgets to place on screen. like weather, current speed, trafficsituations, clock/timer. and instead of showing an arrow representing "you" it lets the user to change it to different cars in different colours to get the feeling of having your own car as the "arrow". This is what i want to have as my standard app when cruising around :P
Just bought a car with Car play. First time user. Do you have to download music from ITunes in order to listen to your music? It’s annoyingly to have to connect phone every time you get in the car in order to play iTunes. I thought it would automatically connect after initial setup.
I have a newer model Honda with CarPlay. If I have force quit Apple Music on my phone, when I go back to my car and plug in my phone, I never know what will come on. I have a lot of songs in my library from my kids’ teenage years (High School Musical, anyone?), and I just never know! Great video, thanks!
Great info here Chris. I’ve not really gotten into Siri Shortcuts, I need to. Here’s a trick I stumbled into. When playing a podcast on CarPlay (or on my Kia in the native app too) the controls as normal, appear on your Apple Watch. This makes it east to skip commercials or back track. Thanks for your videos!
How do I get Google Maps to show the altitude? I live in Switzerland near the mountains and normal sat navs show how meters above sea level you are. This is useful to know when you are driving up a mountain pass etc
I’ve found, in mine and my Wife’s cars at least, if you use a cheap third party connector w\ CarPlay it’ll freeze and reset itself. It doesn’t happen with a genuine Apple connector.
I have found in ALL of our Honda's '16 Civic & Accord and '17 Ridgeline - that a "generic" Apple cord would often not allow the system to boot up right away, and we would need to restart the vehicle to get Apple Play to work. This was ALL SOLVED by switching to a Apple certified USB cord-works all the time now. I was told that Apple usb cords have a "chip" that helps with the connection. I can't confirm if there is a chip, but I can tell you since switching to Apple USB cords we have not had a single problem connecting to the Infotainment system.
My apple CarPlay stops working from week to week. I have an apple USB cable and latest software installed but I can’t figure out how to fix the issue. I just wait for it to magically start working again. Please let me know if you’re having similar issues.
What does that waze shortcut thing do? I can get directions in waze using siri without any short cut. I just ask siri "get directions to (whereever) using waze (or google maps)" and it works fine.
I've had occasional lock ups on my pioneer AVIC-8100NEX. When it happens, I just unplug my iPhone, let the stereo get back to another screen, then plug the iPhone back in.
Excellent review! Helped me solidify my decision. I was going to avoid getting the higher trim level passport with the Nav due to the CarPlay. I’m fairly new to apple and was concerned if the experience I’ve had with the phone would translate to CarPlay. The phone is glitchy and unresponsive at times (iPhone X). Any chance you have reviewed android auto? If it doesn’t freeze as much as CarPlay (I’m assuming it does from some of the comments) I’d be more than willing to change back to Android. I’d just like to see your take on it.
Also I’m glad you are liking your Honda, but I can start my car with my Apple Watch!!! How cool?

Great video, I had to work like hell to get my iPhone Reminder app to work, but finally got it to work on CarPlay too. I must have invested 3 hours and got it to work by activating iCloud and using a “sharing” list and not the default list. Lastly need a short black cable for Carplay usb, but it must be genuine Apple as the male end must be Apple specs to fit in my ProClip iPhone mount. Does Apple make a short black USB cable? I have looked everywhere, computer stores and across the internet, hours and hours.
I have had Apple CarPlay in my Nissan Juke for almost 4years now, I changed out the standard Nissan radio unit for a Pioneer CarPlay sph-da120, you can pick them up now for about £300 and would defiantly recommend it.
Fantastic and awesome man. This is a very wonderful app. I love it. While driving a car we can also take help from this Device. Keep going and keep growing.
Alain Guerra each vendor of a CarPlay receiver will leave an app that says the car’s name or the radio manufacturer, like Pioneer. On the home screen. Open that app and you’ll be able to click on the radio, and use the touch screen to so it.
Thanks for the great vid Chris. I installed an iPad Mini in the dash of my 2011 Silverado since CP was not available on aftermarket head units when I got my truck. It has by far been the most useful mod I have ever done to any vehicle I have ever owned $ for $. I find it so useful even almost 4 years later. It gets hot where I live in the summer so I just put a sun screen in the front windshield and crack my side window to keep the heat inside the truck at a minimum which is a great idea to do with any vehicle anyway to preserve the interior from excessive heat and to keep the sun from fading the interior and damaging the dash etc. Of course my iPad Mini 2 is getting "long in the tooth" now but the slight lagginess it experiences now is at an acceptable level for me at this point considering all of the advantages having the iPad Mini in my dash affords and I would imagine an older head unit would not be much different considering the iPad is way more powerful than most head units from the same timeframe. Feel free to check out my vid on what my iPad Mini install looks like on my channel. Keep up the great work Chris I am a long time sub and really like your videos.
Great vid! I don’t see the link to the Siri shortcut for Waze though. Also, your dedication to getting this video out is commendable and very much appreciated, just be careful. We’d understand a short delay.
My Chevy Equinox came with CarPlay and I like it so much I added Pioneer CarPlay to the wife's 2012 Dodge Caliber and My 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 both are wireless not like the Equinox. MY issue is the Chevy had a app for weather on the LTE plan (which I declined to use as I already have a excellent phone) and I wish that apple would make a dedicated weather app for CarPlay.
Question: you can still control music through your phone right? I’m a big music guy and use Apple Music UA-cam red and soundcloud for my music. My concern is not Apple Music but UA-cam red, since there is no app for it can i still play music through UA-cam red on my phone to the radio? (Why do i have 3 music apps, a lot of leaked and unreleased music is on UA-cam and soundcloud)
It'll still play from those apps but you can't control it from the vehicle's touchscreen/control intereface. You would have to control from the phone, which defeats the purpose of CarPlay.
Yesssss. My civic always starts up the first song in my iTunes each time I start my car. Even if I have been listening to Spotify OR SiriusXM(not even using CarPlay!) I guess I could just delete the songs off iTunes since I dont care for them anymore. But I like the idea you gave on the chance I decide to upload some more stuff to itunes. Glad to see a fix though!
I like using Waze in my F-150. Haven’t experienced freeze ups. Did you post the Waze shortcut? I wish Apple would allow 3rd party navigation apps like Waze to use the tapping feature on the Apple Watch.
Watch Next: New CarPlay Features, Tips, Apps (iOS 13) - ua-cam.com/video/veMdToLjXlk/v-deo.html
Good stuff! But the Waze shortcut link isn't working, it goes to a Google Map shortcut. Can you fix that please?
@@ramirez71 I 2nd that :)
DailyTekk hey i had the same problem like you i made a video check out is on my channel
I got fix by going to the honda dealer they have a updated for the car to fix that problem

CarBridge makes CarPlay 10 times better, it lets you run any app on CarPlay.
That's true.
SimplyPops how do I get Carbridge ??
Ben MATHEWS you have to jail break your phone
im waiting on a jailbreak for 12.2
i have a 2019 Subaru Impreza Sport and I use carplay every single day. Mine has never froze up.
Same. 2019 Honda HR-V Sport (Canadian version). Must be the “sport” or the year.
I absolutely love CarPlay, I use it everyday in my 2018 GTI and I’ve never had any freezing issues or any other issues with it. It’s a must have for any driver.
Yes it does start constantly automatically play the first song from the library. I was writing to apple multiple times and I am switching to Spotify for this. Bug is not in car play but in the music app and Bluetooth management.
some car entertainment systems do this by default - I had this issue with the iDrive system for years.
Carplay + BMW idrive is the ultimate driving experience, no cables, it just works
except you do miss out on the ability to scroll through a playlist in CarPlay on the HUD like iDrive allows.
2:47 way to run that stop sign. 🙄
I'm shocked at how observant you were. You were not looking at the CarPlay's screen. You were only looking at where he was driving.
For the freezing issue. Use the original apple cable. Cheap gas station cables will cause issues.
What infotainment system do you recommend if the car doesn’t have CarPlay is set when buying a car?
I have used an aftermarket Pioneer unit in my Smart Car for years. Never had a freeze up or a glitch. So prob your car manufactures fault.
I'm more confused 10 minutes into this than I was before the video started
Had CarPlay on a 2005 Toyota Corolla for over a year now and haven’t had any problems. Best car radio ever!
Wireless CarPlay on the BMW is lovely.
I haven’t even gotten through 30 seconds and I already appreciate you for mentioning time stamps 🙌🏻 So appreciated. I’ve already given it a thumbs up 😂
The freeze ups are somewhat common. Happens in my 2016 Volt once in a while, and it did in my old car with a Pioneer head unit. In both instances, I need to turn the car off completely to get CarPlay to work again. Wireless CarPlay is the way to go if you can get a car or head unit with the feature.
I have a VW, never had any issues with Carplay
JR Ruiz I have a Jetta and about every 10 times I try to start it, it won’t start car play.
Your Siri shortcut for Get Direction activates Google maps. How do I modify the URL in the shortcut to activate Waze and not Google maps?
ANY car older than two years would hugely benefit from a headunit upgrade featuring (wireless) CarPlay AND a built-in DSP. I upgraded to a new Pioneer top tier unit for my 2012 vehicle and it has helped the factory Bose system reach heights I never dreamed of. We are talking competition level performance. DSPs are worth EVERY penny.
Good tips. I always wait for the HU to come up before I plug in my iPhone. And I use one of those magnetic cables which beats fiddling to plug in the regular lightning jack. Especially when driving. Use the magnetic cable at home to.
Have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. No issues with CarPlay. Good video!

Are you able to take an incoming call while using Google maps on carplay? Or does the call screen completely block the map until you hangup the phone?
The freezing must be a Honda thing. I have a Ford and no freezing issues. Great video!
No freezing 2019 Honda HR-V Sport (the Canadian version)... if it’s going to freeze anywhere you’d think it’d be here (bad joke)
I wish there was a youtube carplay app where you could listen to a youtube video while u drive because sometimes id like to listen to a review/ diy video while driving
Fritzroy Woods there is a way, jailbreak your phone & then get Carbridge from Cydia
I stream UA-cam audio via Carplay and watch video on iPhone or iPad :)
Those CarPlay usb dongles won’t work with most factory head units. They require an Android headunit.
Love your videos my friend… great information, perfect tone and production, and best of all your tips helps me enjoy my tech so much more. Thanks for doing this!
The screen shot thing best explained as the car play is an extension of your phone. That’s why it includes car screen with the screen shot.

When I record on my phone the music changes and you can’t hear it from the car, is there any way to allow it to play through the cars sound system.

To stop the automatic playing of the alphabetical playlist unpair the phone from Bluetooth and use only the plug-in connection.
Can you share the waze shortcut because the one you share on info its only for google maps and share your Thing shortcut too pls looks awesome
Please update the link to install the Waze shortcut.

I'm seeing a Google Map shortcut but not the Waze one you mentioned. Please? Thanks
As you use Waze IOS will add options for Waze for you to add shortcuts with.
Just use Magic earth
How do I get Google Maps to show the altitude? I live in Switzerland near the mountains and normal sat navs show how meters above sea level you are. This is useful to know when you are driving up a mountain pass etc
For the super cool guy you can jailbreak your iphone and then open any app in carplay
How did you Jailbreak yours?
I am that guy! :-D

Does Carplay offer Wireless connectivity to radios instead of having to physically plug in your phone ?
Grey Ghost Yes. Depending on your car radio.
Carplay works flawless on my VW, but on Kenwood head unit in my Mercedes it resets often.

You can use UA-cam music now in car play
Please let me know how... thank you
Majed Qadah download the UA-cam music app
My Apple Car play in my 2019 BMW 440 i is wireless, therefore I cannot wait to connect it, but it always works flawlessly.
canyou add the lyft app on this?
Just got a new car with car play. Really looking forward to trying this.
Mine has never frozen the only thing I get worried about is overcharging my phone battery
Liked the video in the first minute seeing ur dedication to the channel!
You can literally get carplay in almost any car for like $300 installed
big fan of Dark Sky myself .. will try to setup the Siri short cut .. reminds me, I should create one for my radio show as well ..

Great video, I had to work like hell to get my iPhone Reminder app to work, but finally got it to work on CarPlay too. I must have invested 3 hours and got it to work by activating iCloud and using a “sharing” list and not the default list.
Lastly need a short black cable for Carplay usb, but it must be genuine Apple as the male end must be Apple specs to fit in my ProClip iPhone mount.
Does Apple make a short black USB cable? I have looked everywhere, computer stores and across the internet, hours and hours.
Does CarPlay kill your phone battery?
I have had Apple CarPlay in my Nissan Juke for almost 4years now, I changed out the standard Nissan radio unit for a Pioneer CarPlay sph-da120, you can pick them up now for about £300 and would defiantly recommend it.
I take screen shots of my CarPlay when it is glitching to send to apple
While driving?
Fantastic and awesome man. This is a very wonderful app. I love it. While driving a car we can also take help from this Device. Keep going and keep growing.
Hi, Can you share the Things shortcut please? Many thanks, Mark
Awesome video, i have a question: i try to use my car radio while use car play , but i can’t, is any way to do that? Thanks
Alain Guerra each vendor of a CarPlay receiver will leave an app that says the car’s name or the radio manufacturer, like Pioneer. On the home screen. Open that app and you’ll be able to click on the radio, and use the touch screen to so it.
can i set it up with the IFTTT? Maybe a storm is coming, so a notification pops up? i dunno, thanks
Thanks for the great vid Chris. I installed an iPad Mini in the dash of my 2011 Silverado since CP was not available on aftermarket head units when I got my truck. It has by far been the most useful mod I have ever done to any vehicle I have ever owned $ for $. I find it so useful even almost 4 years later. It gets hot where I live in the summer so I just put a sun screen in the front windshield and crack my side window to keep the heat inside the truck at a minimum which is a great idea to do with any vehicle anyway to preserve the interior from excessive heat and to keep the sun from fading the interior and damaging the dash etc. Of course my iPad Mini 2 is getting "long in the tooth" now but the slight lagginess it experiences now is at an acceptable level for me at this point considering all of the advantages having the iPad Mini in my dash affords and I would imagine an older head unit would not be much different considering the iPad is way more powerful than most head units from the same timeframe. Feel free to check out my vid on what my iPad Mini install looks like on my channel. Keep up the great work Chris I am a long time sub and really like your videos.
please tell me which shortcut you use to check deliveries.
Great vid! I don’t see the link to the Siri shortcut for Waze though.
Also, your dedication to getting this video out is commendable and very much appreciated, just be careful. We’d understand a short delay.
Thanks haha. Waze shortcut is under "Things I mentioned" section. Also in pinned comment.
I wish it worked without having to plug my phone into my car.
BMW and Mercedes Benz now have wireless CarPlay, but it's not fantastic.
I have wireless in my BMW- only app I ever have issues with is amazon music- this sorted by recent update and now everything works like a charm
No SoundCloud 😣
I have car play on my Jeep Wrangler 2020
My Chevy Equinox came with CarPlay and I like it so much I added Pioneer CarPlay to the wife's 2012 Dodge Caliber and My 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 both are wireless not like the Equinox. MY issue is the Chevy had a app for weather on the LTE plan (which I declined to use as I already have a excellent phone) and I wish that apple would make a dedicated weather app for CarPlay.
Question: you can still control music through your phone right? I’m a big music guy and use Apple Music UA-cam red and soundcloud for my music. My concern is not Apple Music but UA-cam red, since there is no app for it can i still play music through UA-cam red on my phone to the radio? (Why do i have 3 music apps, a lot of leaked and unreleased music is on UA-cam and soundcloud)
It'll still play from those apps but you can't control it from the vehicle's touchscreen/control intereface. You would have to control from the phone, which defeats the purpose of CarPlay.
I have carplay on my new Toyota Avalon and it does have glitches every once and a while. I don't touch it when it does that, I just let it fix itself.
Updated to iOS 13 and now my notifications don’t work on CarPlay beware
Link for the Waze short cut just opens up web link in google maps. Can you correct this
Can CarPlay use Spotify?
Yesssss. My civic always starts up the first song in my iTunes each time I start my car. Even if I have been listening to Spotify OR SiriusXM(not even using CarPlay!) I guess I could just delete the songs off iTunes since I dont care for them anymore. But I like the idea you gave on the chance I decide to upload some more stuff to itunes. Glad to see a fix though!
A guy made a song for that issue! Download “A a a a a Very Good Song” it’s a 10 minuet silent song that will stay at you first iTunes song !
@@GuineaMatCo hey thanks! I'll do that!
I have a 2019 Ford Fusion and CarPlay hasn’t glitched once
What are you trying to say, huh, what? Huh?
Does this guy work for apple?
I like Tune in radio app that is made for carplay and lets you listen to radio stations from all around the world.
I like using Waze in my F-150. Haven’t experienced freeze ups. Did you post the Waze shortcut? I wish Apple would allow 3rd party navigation apps like Waze to use the tapping feature on the Apple Watch.
Just added the Waze shortcut link, thanks!
Patrick7C Waze has been available for months now. It works great.
How do I control the volume when I get a text while using Apple CarPlay?
Great! but how do i add a siri shortcut??
