    I want to say thank you first off! I have been without CarPlay for about a week now and had to navigate in San Francisco with my phone on my lap and try not to get in an accident. After listening to several “techs” on UA-cam you are the first person that said “hold the volume button “ to reset. Holy cow and it worked!!! Ok, I’m 72 and I didn’t grow up using this stuff so if I can get my car play to work, with your help of course, It just makes my day. Thank you, Terri , EG, CA

    My wired CarPlay kept disconnecting, but it wasn’t a worn cable. Turns out, any lightning cable I inserted into my phone felt a little wobbly and loose, and it was due to dust and gunk in the port that built up over time and years of repeated inserting of the lightning cable. A minute or so with the pointy end of a dental floss pick cleared out the gunk. Works like new!

      @@frustyak This! It’s always my first recommendation when someone says they have wired CarPlay connection issues. Most will say they charge fine wired and they don’t think it’s the issue. It requires a much more solid connection for CarPlay compared to charging and it seems cleaning out the port is this issue almost every time.
      I’ve yet to have a cable fail in my vehicle just because it doesn’t see much wear always being left plugged into my car and I bought a few different cables years ago until I discovered the dirty port issue.

      I carrier my iPhone in my pants pocket where cable port collects dust, lint and dirt over time filling up the cable port. The port will get so full your cable will not connect properly masking you think it's abad cable. Switching cables may make it work momentarily but it's the dirt in the port that needs to be cleaned out. There's a special tool you can use and most refer to it as the reset pin tool, you can us that with little eyeglass cleaners and dig the dirt out out of the cable port.

Connecting to the car is fine, spotify etc plays fine. The problem lies with the navigation. I can hear the audio cues for directions just fine but it wont show me the map on the screen. Neither can i see the little interface at the left side of the screen at 1:50. Is there something i clicked or done to make this happen. I cant figure out what i did or how to fix it.

  • @walterreil4001
    @walterreil4001 13 днів тому +1

    Thanks for your useful video. But, unless I am missing something, there is a significant oversight in CarPlay (which I recently notified Apple of, which means they will not take action on this for several years, if ever) which forces me to ONLY operate CarPlay when I need to use NAVIGATION (maps). Whenever you are operating CarPlay with your iPhone, it is ALWAYS using navigation, no matter whether you are actively using navigation or not, and no matter whether a maps app is open on your phone, or not. THIS means that your cellular DATA plan is being consumed full-time supporting navigation that is always operating in the background. THIS has created a significant IMPACT to my cell phone DATA plan. AND, I will not turn off Cellular use of Data, then having to turn it back on (on the phone) when I want to use navigation. CarPlay should have a very visible, quickly accessed, on-screen setting stating Navigation On / Navigation Off. CarPlay should never be using your phone's cellular DATA without you telling it to. And you shouldn't have to download off-line map files to your phone. By the way, when using off-line map apps, you will NOT receive active traffic information, which really is needed. 😐

Prior to ios 18 I would have phone mounted on dash and could record a video on front camera as I drove and it would record my voice as well. Now when I try it only records video and no sound. Have you or anyone else had this problem and know a fix or is it my head unit? I also have issues with talk to text randomly working. I could say "Siri, text wife" and she would activate asking what I wanted to say and upon the tone after I speak and it seems to no longer pick up my voice.

    Here is an issue I found that no one has talked about. While listening to the Podcast app, I don't get any text notifications! Phone calls come through, but no text pop ups. have missed so many important notifications and even reached out to Apple. They never admit failure and typically don't fix issues brought forward, but I thought I would share this with the community.

      @Part_121 25 днів тому

      It was tough to understand because he was using the wrong term. It's not "Offload Maps" it's "Offline Maps". Offline maps should work great in your situation as you can download the maps you need onto your phone, so when you lose signal, and the streaming maps, it will revert to the Offline Maps you previously downloaded, assuming you're in the same area that the downloaded maps cover. I think he combined Offline with Download causing him to come up with Offload. Offload sounds like you're getting rid of maps though, which is the opposite of what you're trying to accomplish.
