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
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’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've been watching videos on 2.0x and its a gamechanger. I just wish netflix and hulu could do 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 😂
For the freezing issue. Use the original apple cable. Cheap gas station cables will cause issues.
I'm more confused 10 minutes into this than I was before the video started
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.
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?
Had CarPlay on a 2005 Toyota Corolla for over a year now and haven’t had any problems. Best car radio ever!
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.
What infotainment system do you recommend if the car doesn’t have CarPlay is set when buying a car?
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.
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 CZcams audio via Carplay and watch video on iPhone or iPad :)
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)
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.
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?
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.
Wireless CarPlay on the BMW is lovely.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Those CarPlay usb dongles won’t work with most factory head units. They require an Android headunit.
I use CarPlay in my 2018 Chevy Colorado and I have never had a lock up.
Carplay is awesome. I use it everyday in my 2018 Audi A5 coupe.
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
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 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.
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
Its Honda/CarPlay freeze. Driving a 2016 Kia Sorento SXL and I use CarPlay every day. Not one freeze. Works lime a charm.
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!
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.
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)
My Kia Sportage apple CarPlay works great, never any freezes.
My Apple Car play in my 2019 BMW 440 i is wireless, therefore I cannot wait to connect it, but it always works flawlessly.
Weather overlay on Maps, Is there an app for that?
How to turn off CarPlay Screenshots
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

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!
You can use CZcams music now in car play
Please let me know how... thank you
Majed Qadah download the CZcams music app
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Woot! Excited for this one! Thx for the dedication.
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.
Liked the video in the first minute seeing ur dedication to the channel!
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
canyou add the lyft app on this?
I saw bomb cyclone and Sheridan blvd, then I realized you live in Denver!!! I never noticed the upper left corner click, lol, good info. CarPlay is awesome, I literally crossed Lexus from my list cuz they still slow on it. Good content, I appreciate your work!
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
To stop the automatic playing of the alphabetical playlist unpair the phone from Bluetooth and use only the plug-in connection.
I have car play on my Jeep Wrangler 2020
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.
Hi, Can you share the Things shortcut please? Many thanks, Mark
Loved this!! Just got apple car play with my new Honda and LOVE it...especially after coming from a 2003 auto...lol..I usually use Google maps, but might have to try apple maps again as it syncs with everything so well. I too like the taps on the wrist from the apple watch. :-) Hopefully Apple maps has gotten better!! Thanks for the great videos and tips!
Manufacturing issue for sure never had a problem with my pioneer headunit
No SoundCloud 😣
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.
I take screen shots of my CarPlay when it is glitching to send to apple
While driving?
Thanks for the video. Have a 2017 Escape and no freezing on the Car Play side but after a year or so Ford Sync got all messed up. Finally took the time to reset Sync system and has been working fine. Still have issue of Music auto playing which I hate but occasionally a cool random mix comes up. One annoying feature with Apple Maps in Car Play is when opening the app it defaults to directions to get home...any way to turn this off and just give (I dunno...) the Map of where I am at??
Well i have a 2019 hyundai elantra with carplay (apple) and i us waze n need no short cuts to access, nor have a i had freezes, makes sense to wait, i always plug in n wait about 30 seconds before using any features, mine continues to play from the last song i left of, ... this video is pretty cool, and hey the watch thing is amazing, ... yeah i wish there was more options for apps thou, i would say thats the only downside ive found to carplay that its limited to what it can n cant do, unlike ur phone were its a world of apps ... hopefully it gets improved in the future....
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.
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 ..
The Waze shortcut is not working for me, it opens google maps
The sole fact you referenced Andy Mineo got you a sub. But the video was very helpful too :) thank you.
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.
How do I control the volume when I get a text while using Apple CarPlay?
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 like Tune in radio app that is made for carplay and lets you listen to radio stations from all around the world.
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.
I installled a JVC CarPlay head unit in my 2011 GTI. i also have freezing with carplay using my iPhone XS Max but it restarts. when I drive a 2018 Pilot sometimes cant get Carplay to launch or show up.I'm guessing its a honda headunit problem.
Great work as always! Thank you for clearing up some CarPlay issues!
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.
Link for the Waze short cut just opens up web link in google maps. Can you correct this
please tell me which shortcut you use to check deliveries.
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.
Carplay works flawless on my VW, but on Kenwood head unit in my Mercedes it resets often.
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.
Slacker Radio freezes someotiems. I have to shut down my iPhone, turn it back on then it works ok.
I love car play😍
Also I’m glad you are liking your Honda, but I can start my car with my Apple Watch!!! How cool?
Does Carplay offer Wireless connectivity to radios instead of having to physically plug in your phone ?
Grey Ghost Yes. Depending on your car radio.
I have CarPlay freezing in a 2017 VW Tigua on a weekly basis also....
I have a 2018 Passat. I have to do a hard-reset at least once a week by holding down the power button until the radio resets. It just stops wanting to connect. Sometimes it just up and quits while listening. For a while, almost every time I plugged in, after about a minute it would suddenly drop the audio and buzz loudly.
The only things I have found that help are: Uninstall ALL VPN software, including the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 app. That seemed to fix the buzzing. Second: Turn off Blutooth. That seems to help a lot with failure to connect and random dropouts. But even with that, i still need to do the hard reset occasionally.
Apple carplay dongle is not working with normal cars it works only with andriod auto.
I have ordered 1 Apple carplay dongle in the past but its is having first app problems to download because it is only in Chinese and you can't use steering media control button with it.
But now wireless carplay dongle available in the market and i ordered one for me i hope it will come soon.
i will do a review on it.
Updated to iOS 13 and now my notifications don’t work on CarPlay beware
