Thanks for the informative video-buying a new car soon and good to know all of this.

Great vid, just what I was looking for

Thank you for the tips

Very helpful as I'm about to get a 2018 Honda CRV EXL, but have been uncertain if I should upgrade to a model with navigation...thanks to Philip's video, I see how easy it is to use Apple CarPlay with my IPhone...and save some $!

Really good info,glad I found this!!

Thank you. I have just purchased a 2018 Subaru and have no idea how to use many features.

I use Waze in my 2020 Honda Ridgeline and love it. The maps are more up to date and it tells me where the red light cameras are and if I am going over the speed limit.

How do you zoom while in navigation. Im going from state to state and it zoom all the out and cant see my soon turns?

I'd like to see more about "navagating" around the screen. Having difficulty with getting from radio to phone. Just need to play around, I guess.

There is still one advantage to navigation in your car. It does not rely on a cellular data connection to work which means if you go somewhere remote your navigation is still useful. Most iphone nav apps require data to work, in fact I only know of one that allows you to permanently download map areas in advance. That said I do think Apple Carplay or Android Auto are both useful and I plan to update my 2016 Taurus USB hub this week so I can use CarPlay with Sync 3. Interestingly Sync 3 does work with Waze now but I still think having the ability to use apps that are not Sync compatible will be an advantage.

I figured it out 3 weeks ago in my 2020 Ford Escape. It was so easy for me.

Phil, I’ve come to really depend on seeing traffic conditions on my Honda Civic nav System. Does Apple Maps show areas of slow traffic? Nice video, thank you!

Hello, Nice video. Can I check with you that is it necessary to apply license if we use Apple CarPlay on customize car audio in Myanmar?

how to make the maps more like sat nav in terms of the map adjusting to the direction you are travelling? So, when you take a left, the map adjusts and you are heading towards that way, i.e. following the arrow straight ahead on the screen..?

I've got a 2014 Honda Accord Touring. Can my car get an aftermarket component put in? And, are you able to put the map on the carplay in 3D? I hate 2D. The stock navigation unit in my car allows the map to be viewed in 3D. I'm seriously considering buying an aftermarket unit if my car is compatible with it!

Waze does work with Apple Carplay but uses phone data plan. You have remember to turn off Waze after exiting the car as it will continue to use data plan to track your location. If you go out off your home phone plan zone it can get expensive with overage charges, that is where I would uses Navigation when traveling and stick to main highway and roads if Navigation is not up to date.

what about telematics / tracking? the 2019 Nissan nv200 had in dash factory nav,, now for 20202 with just apple car play how does one use / install a tracking gps device?

Great video on Apple Car Play

Waze works on my with no Jail-breaking

will my play list from you tube music be able to play on this?

How can use my phone without interrupting the music. I notice that when I open the camera app on my iPhone to record video ++ and the music stops, is their a way to change that

Hey! Thank you for your video! The problem is , my Honda Civic is a 2013. So It doesn’t have the screen you have in the video. I paired my iPhone to my system no probs, but I put the imaps or google maps on my iPhone but I don’t know how to get the sound out in my car speakers. Please help. Sorry for the weird phrase, I’ m French lol 😝

You would still need those cars with Navigation when travelling through areas without internet.

Is there anyway to fix the volume on Carplay? For instance I feel like I have to have the volume at it's max to hear the voice of a person I'm on a call with. If I don't turn that down before my call ends and I get an incoming call it's crazy loud. This is the biggest gripe that I have about Carplay. Any fix???

Hello, I have a question. Does Apple CarPlay will work on 2014 Honda Civic Si Sedan?

Thanks!

Waze is an option on mine. Just don’t get RU-vid. But I can get RU-vid music to stream but just can see the videos. It would be nice if you could use RU-vid functions while parked or Netflix if you’re waiting for someone or something to open and then features would unlock when the car isn’t in drive mode.

The area where the integrated Garmin in our Kenwood stereo was a great benefit, was when we had to use navigation in a place where we could not get a phone signal. That happens often for us. The stereo also uses Apple Car Play and Android Auto, but Garmin uses a satellite and does not depend on a cell phone tower.

thanks, nice to know before im buying a honda with apple car play

He mentioned that Waze could only be added if you jailbreak your phone. I have an iPhone 6S and my Tahoe put Waze on automatically when I connected for the first time.

do i use a regular usb like the one i use to charge my phone ?

Thanks. Just bought a 2021 CRV XL and so wish you had a video on the Apple CarPlay, and how to navigate between various music situations when you are using navigation. I so get lost, need to see my navigator and still listen to music, frequently I’m seeing the radio button screen and only listening to the navigation that’s not good for me. PLEASE show how to navigate through these screens source, main, ETC so I hint get lost in the multitude of screens and settings and not seeing what I need to. Honda needs to hire you to develop the car manual in YT, the manual many times is useless, when trying to find something in the index. But right now I need the Ins and outs of the using the built in screen and it’s functions for the 2021 CRV XL I just subscribed so hope to see that in the near future. HH

Can I install carapple play in Toyota highland 2016

Hi Philip, I just purchased a 2018 Nissan Leaf and I notice that blutooth audio works very well Pandora, TIDAL etc... but when using any music app through Apple CarPlay it contionusly stutters. Very frustrating, any ideas? I'm new to CarPlay but not to the iPhone. Is this a known problem? I'm hoping there is a simple solution, audio is a big deal for me and if I can't get audio working then CarPlay is pretty much worthless to me. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks

I have a pioneer nav unit in my truck and I love it. Even if I have to update it every few years I’d sooner do that for $50 than to chew through my data on my phone. Much cheaper. I still like the car play but will always chose the nav.. it’s free.

Do you know how Apple CarPlay compares to OnStar? Do the 2 work in conjunction or are they completely different? I'm new to all this so thanks for your info.

How did u install that pandora ? I want to install google maps in CarPlay

You can’t use Apple Maps and Spotify or another app simultaneously, can you?

Can you listen to the radio / does the radio still work while Maps is in use?

Great Job!, I learnt more from this straight-to-the-point video than from the tons of articles I've read on the topic! Thank you!

Trying to decide if I want to spend that extra money for navigation or just let it be since I am looking at a car that only has Apple car play & no navigation,,, this was helpful,,,,,, thank you!!!!!

Nice video

2022's(CRV) can use you tube on apple car play if app is on phone.

I have 2016 Honda accord sports. Can I use apple car play

Apple Maps connected via Carply doesn’t support turn by turn navigation in my country. Using google maps and/or waze

soild software, works great

In my 2018 jeep compass I can use we waze

Apple Car Play Maps app vs portable Garmin GPS. 2 Fridays ago on our way to Madison NJ, I had preset the 2 devices to the house in Madison. Just before the Susquehana River Bridge, the Maps app said I could save 33 minutes by exiting just after the MD tollbooth in 2 miles (the Delaware Bridge on Fridaya can have a miles long backup to get onto the bridge.) Decided instantly to trust Maps: exited I95 and cane to a stop sign. Apple Maps said turn right, while the Garmin said turn left presumably to get back onto I95. We were in no hurry and wended our way into PA, and eventually to the PA turnpike - which runs into the NJ turnpike near Philadelphia. We arrived at our destination without anymore deviations. The point I am trying to make is that Apple Maps reacted much quicker to traffic changes. What I also saved is my sanity since I don't do traffic tie-ups nicely.

My 2019 GNC Acadia pulls up Google maps.

Can you type in the destination address on your phone and get the navigation shown on the car screen? Which means not having to type on the car screen or use voice control

I have several phone numbers listed in my messages in Carplay I can't get rid of. Don't know how they got there. They are not showing on my iPhone, only on Carplay. How do you get rid of them? I have a 2019 Honda HR-V

My 2006 element just has the radio. But it is so reliable.

Do you have to leave it connected with the cable

Just purchased a 2018 Nissan Sentra SL. I believe that is the last model year that Nissan will have CD players and navigation. So, in 5-6 years when it's time for a new car, I'll be going Versa or whatever the cheapest model is. If I don't need a CD player and navigation, then I don't need heated seats, adaptive cruise either.

I’m getting my next car soon. Because I watched this video, I stick to the car with on-board navigation! 🤔😀

Are you still at Honda

It is now Oct 2020. The latest Honda Accord uses NFC (you know, the technology where you tap your cell phone to pay at a store) to do Apple Carplay and Android Auto. However, Hyundai still uses USB ports and cables! Wonder why! All these cars need to go the Tesla route. A Tesla connects to cell towers constantly, and also WiFi when available. So the maps on its big 15" screen are updated constantly. However, you need to pay $10 a month after the fist year in order to get live traffic updates such as about accidents, traffic jams etc. Last weekend we were traveling in the mountains of North Carolina in our Tesla. By the way, the Tesla is just amazing on mountain roads, going up and down hills stress free! :) The Tesla map did not cut off navigation even though cell signal was absent in many area, because I think it downloads the planned route ahead of time.

I personally prefer the onboard navigation on my F150. When I punch in an address on my onboard nav, once I plug in my phone, it automatically switches to Apple maps. I hate this. How do I turn off this feature while still being able to listen to my music and use the other Carplay features. I drive in some areas where I will loose my cell signal, so the onboard nav is essential.

What about when you go in and out of service areas on your I phone? I know you’re screwed

From what I can see from the 2019 Nissan line up, the Versa S has the same radio as the Sentra SL. Given that we are now going to be using our smart phones for Navigation, I'm not seeing buying anything more than the cheapest car they sell.

Some car radios even have wireless car play and android auto which I think is way better then having the phone stuck to a wire at times

When using car play for navigation, are you able to use other apps? For example Pandora? Is a better question what apps can’t you use when using car play navigation?

I have a Lincoln and an Iphone. My phone is not jailbroken and WAZE will work. It’s nice having A REAL CAR not a Honda. Waze told of upcoming Fog. Very helpful.

So as I understand the idea behind car play is to use the iPhone as the navigation device instead of having a dedicated on board nav system .. But when traveling abroad and driving a rental car then most Apple nav apps will require an internet service to start driver guidance and that means having to buy a SIM card for every country I have to drive through as is the case in Europe . My rental at the moment is a Volvo XC60 and it’s got both car play as well as onboard navigation on a great center console touch screen . I think it is important to have a nav system in a car at least as a back to the iPhone navigation especially when going through an area where there is no service coverage .

Can I run the map and talk on the phone hands free at the same time?

I do like Apple Car Play, or for that matter Android Auto, and I agree with your video completely. I do think there's some room for improvement however. I wish that either of the major "Car Play" interfaces also displayed turn instruction on cars with both a center display and a H.U.D. I've not yet seen either system be able to leverage the Head Up Display, only the center main display. For that reason I'm still sometimes partial to my built-in GPS.

So the Honda app that showed up is that appearing as standard or so I need the Honda app on my iPhone 1st ? Thanks

The Sygic GPS Navigation app is now supported by Apple CarPlay! Sygic is the world's best navigation. It has stunningly beautiful views, and makes every other navigation product look boring beyond belief. I have only one question. Can you still use your iPhone to do other activities while the navigation is simultaneously running on your car's stereo screen? For instance, can you use the Uber app while simultaneously running CarPlay?

Mine isn't working! I have android and I did all these steps and after I hit enable it says no device found even though my phone is connected with Bluetooth

Wake has never stopped working on my iPhone in CarPlay. Not sure what your issue is with it.

Can you add Apple CarPlay to a 2015 model accord EX-L?

You didn’t mention iTunes. Does that work using the phone with CarPlay?

I scoffed when I bought my new car at why anyone would add navigation. Then I got up into the mountains and lost cell service. At that moment I wish I had navigation. Apple car play is phenomenal though.

So google maps is not available on a regular CarPlay?

Nothing, nothing beats satellite navigation. I like the u connect way better that came with my truck

I have I-maps on my screen and I can use maps but I can’t get the volume to go over the speakers. Do you know what’s wrong? I only see the map and the next Turn. It doesn’t tell me when to turn. No volume on the screen. It’s a Lincoln MKX.

does apple carplay also charge your phone

I am driving Honda Civic for a year, at the beginning the navigation work well but for the past few months it doesn't work at all, the arrow on the map is not moving with no instructions too, I did many sitting on my i phone 6 but it still the same, I wonder the problem is come from CarPlay or my phone?

Does Apple carplay work in rural areas where I lose cell service? I could really get lost.

Does your phone have to be connected to your charger cable at all times to maintain CarPlay access?

Ok so what’s the deal with the backup camera.

my 2019 Kia Soernto Apple Carplay has Google Maps and Apple maps

Waze works

Carplay in iOS has a lot of new features and a new paint job. It also has fantastic HomeKit integration.

with GPS you dont need a data or WiFi plan because it uses satellites. Can this work on just GPS for navigation?

How would car. Play work with a dedicated iPod touch. I have a dedicated iPod so I don’t have to plug my phone in every time I get in the car. Phone stays in my pocket and works via Bluetooth.

I just use the car navigation so i dont burn through data on my phone using navigation with apple car play. Olus hate having my phone plugged in to just use it

Hi, Can it be done in 2014 jeep grand Cherokee?

Wase and google map are now working if you update your iphone to ios 12

So...why can’t I hear any voice navigation when using CarPlay. On both Apple Maps and Waze, the voice navigation is super low if I’m listening to the radio or a podcast. Any solutions? I’ve tried the sounds and haptics on settings on my phone, but it still doesn’t turn the voice up. I’ve turned off the volume with speed as well and still can’t hear a voice during navigation.

you still need nav for the times your phone doesn't have a signal. Like in West Virginia.

This was a very well done video and I really appreciate the information. I was attempting to figure out if I might be able to get by in terms of Navigation by just using Apple CarPlay instead of springing for the Honda CR-V Touring with Onboard Navigation. I was wondering if I would be able to get by and be satisfied with just the Navigation from Apple CarPlay. You answered this question very specifically and I appreciate that. Not to go into too much detail, but I was miffed when Honda did away with the EX-L Navi versions of their vehicles. I think this is rather greedy on their part. In any case after some research, I think I might be satisfied by getting a CR-V EX-L and then using the supplied Apple Car Play and maps for my navigation. You see I've had a 2018 Toyota Camry XLE V6 for almost a year and a half. I was forced to use the supplied Scout GPS Link app for navigation. They did NOT add Apple CarPlay to the Accord until the 2019 model ! Prior to this I had onboard Navigation on my previous three vehicles. The Scout GPS didn't work well, to say the least, at first, but to their credit they did make improvements and it now works rather well. Being familiar with Navigation by APP, I should be able to adapt to same with the Honda CR-V EX-L. Some people may still want onboard Nav. In any case and again, very nice review and thanks for addressing exactly what I was trying to determine. As you know, being a salesman, an EX-L goes for considerably less than does the CR-V Touring.

Hello, I would like to ask any system language to be changed to Chinese? There are only three language options in the system~~

My apple car play was working and all of a sudden it quit projecting screen and said it couldn’t find phone

what happens if you loose 3or4g mobile data connection? Will the maps still update? Will satellite still provide location on a locally saved route?

I rented 2 different cars recently, both Google Maps and Waze came up by default on my stock iphone.

My CarPlay defaults to Waze when I plug it in.

Great Video!

Hey Philip, you'll have to do an updated video soon when Apple releases iOS 12 allowing Waze and Google maps with Apple Car Play. Have a great day!
