iOS 17 Apple CarPlay | 8 NEW FEATURES! 

I just posted a comment how sync 4 and iPhone doesn’t not work play well and no solution

Hi, I'm doing what you're doing and it's not showing on my screen .... i have ios17 now

@giorgoskouridis360 have you got an Apple Music subscription?

@@npoleary yes

@@npoleary help me please bro

Yeah nice simple and clean update! I love it too! 🤓🙏

Thank you! 🙏🙏

No worries! And thank you for watching! Ah I film my videos anywhere where it’s remotely quiet! 🤐 haha Well spotted though!

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! Good suggestion! I’ll add it to the list! 🤓

That’s a good idea! Would love that feature!

Agreed! This is the most annoying thing in CarPlay. My screen isn’t touch, so I have to use the scroll wheel and navigate back to maps.

I was just about to ask if there is any method avoiding that but it seems there is none. Really annoying.

me too @@npoleary

I’m glad it’s offline too now! 👍🏼

No worries! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 🙏🙏

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Had the new iOS on a phone I bought for the video and was free that day so thought I’d cover all of the changes! 🤓

@@npoleary Hope all is going well with the new Mercedes btw. Ive had my A180 almost 3 years now and no issues/problems whatsoever.

Yeah great thank you! 🤓 Nice! That’s good to hear! 👊🏼 I’ll be doing some videos of it soon!

No worries! Thanks for watching! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏🙏

Yup! Me too! Then one day I got an iPod and it sat in the cup holder 😅

No worries! 🤓🙏

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! Maybe we’ll have to see one day! 👀

Meet and greet? @guilhermeluizjh you have all the time in the world!

I believe Apple Music only I don’t think it’s got a kit to work with other apps yet (if Apple are going to roll it out) They might keep it as a selling point for Apple Music Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏🙏

I read that its the cars other occupants can stream Spotify through it but beware you can only use this feature if the driver has a paid Apple Music Subscription. Big fail on Apple's part there

Would be good to know

As @qm7996 already stated, you need an Apple Music subscription on the main phone to get the SharePlay feature in the first place. But also limiting, the people joining in can only select music from _your_ phone (in practice almost anything, given an Apple Music subscription), not whatever the the phone joining might have access to.

Thank you! 🤓🙏

Yeah I love the new wallpaper too! 🤓

Just download multiple maps that overlap by some margin. You gotta stop sometime for fuel/food/rest and you can just select whichever offline map works best for your next trip segment. Not completely seamless, but about as easy peasyas it gets for now.

Thank you! 🙏

Defo! 👍🏼

Not if you don't have a paid Apple Music Subscription

No worries! 🤓🙏

Me too! I’ve been emailing all the car manufacturers but no one knows anything about it :( I do hope it arrives one day (but there again most likely on a newly released model I’m sure!) Maybe! I’ll add it to the list!

Thank you! 🙏🙏

I’m hearing September 12 here in the United States

You should just be able to turn it up, there aren’t any additional volume controls in CarPlay for that. What model of car do you have and what year?

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🙏

Sadly not all cars can do full screen CarPlay. There are other manufacturers who have come across the same issue before. The reason is because MBUX (also known as NTG 6) on Mercedes is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything. So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen. NTG 7 found in some new cars have higher faster processors and have one screen size leading to a full screen experience on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hope that explains potentially why it’s like that on some cars!

That’s interesting to know that it’s a MBUX issue, not an Apple one. I was waiting for this update to fix it on my GLC screen. I no longer use CarPlay because the screen looks ridiculous with the blank sides. It seriously looks like a GUI error, something you’d find in vehicles from much cheaper manufacturers.

Others have had the same before, my partner had a Mini Cooper, cropped on CarPlay because you could order it with two screen sizes but the newer one is now full screen. I know there are others too

Sadly no, Apple CarPlay doesn’t have that feature I am working to produce a video on this topic in the future!

@@npolearyso we can’t upgrade the MBUX? Such a waste of the space on our 10” screen

@Steven-ez1ng sadly it’s because MBUX gen 1 or NTG 6 is available in two screen sizes. So for it to work on all of them it has to the 7” version. The newer generation multimedia system is only available in one screen size so isn’t cropped.

Haha nah defo UK 😛 Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@npoleary my bad bruv i did the very thing i hate that happens to me here in America 😆…. I get told i sound south african, Australian and new zealand 😆 everything but where im from the UK 😆

No sadly not, it’s an Apple feature so only found on Apple Music

You can on CarPlay, just press the Dashboard button on the bottom and it’ll split. It’s even compatible with 3rd party map apps too! 🤓

@@npoleary when Waze is active on my car I’d like a half screen with the radio details showing. I don’t see a way to do that.

Oh I see which the car’s infotainment system on the other half? Try using TuneIn Radio on CarPlay, this uses data on your phone but…will do split screen 🤓

@@npoleary ok. Thanks

It’s because it’s the latest generation multimedia system. MBUX NTG 7 is only available in one screen size. MBUX NTG 6 the previous one is available on two screen sizes so CarPlay is cropped slightly.

@@npoleary Thanks mate, i did catch that after reading further down in the comments. Ive got an EQA on the way and from my research it doesn't look like that has NTG7

Ah nice, Mercedes have announced the EQA facelift that I posted about so if you’re going for the new one that would be good! I haven’t seen it yet though

@@npoleary Thank you very much

Ah good to see someone else using it! I’ve upgraded too! Which one did you go for?

Latest Generation supports full screen CarPlay 🤓 MBUX NTG 6 (when you say Hey Mercedes it has lines for the voice assistant) This has a cropped version of CarPlay because there are multiple screen sizes, 7” and 10.25” MBUX NTG 7 (when you say Hey Mercedes, it has sparkles for the voice assistant) This version supports full screen CarPlay as you cannot get it in 7” it’s only available in the full 10.25 screen size so no cropped CarPlay and it’s Wireless too!

No they don’t have to, you have to select it on the dashboard before they can anyway

Thanks, I just got off the phone to apple then. I need an apple music subscription. GGRRRRRRRRRRR 20 years this year i have been digitising my own music collection. I dont want/need their damn subscription. GGGRRRRrrrrrrr@@npoleary

The one shown in the video is for Apple Music, Spotify’s had Crossfade for quite a while under Settings and then Playback on their app. Not sure about the RU-vid Music app 🤓

There can be a slight delay especially if you use it over Wireless. Have you got it wired?

Ah awesome! Thank you! 🙏

iOS 17 does support Wireless CarPlay so it depends on the car. You’ll have to check with the manufacturer to see if your model supports it 🤓

Thanks for watching! What did you not like about it? 🤓

@@npoleary yes the apple CarPlay has always been an integral part of my life & I would like to see battery level status on the (home) screen tool bar

Mine too! Always use CarPlay! Battery level for the phone? Or the car? Battery level does appear on the right I’ve noticed if you’re using Wireless. If it’s wired CarPlay then it won’t show at all

Thanks for clarifying, I think the API only works with certain manufacturers. Does it work with yours? 🤓

@@npoleary as far as I’m aware, this feature is only available in Mustang Mach-E and Porsche Taycan. it’s rumored to be coming soon to Ford F150 lightning. The other new thing in Apple Maps on iOS 17 is that when it detects you are in an EV, it will add a button to search “EV charging stations“, as opposed to “gas stations“ or “petrol stations“.

Ah awesome thanks for sharing!

Hey it’s only small improvements! Haha But still CarPlay is used by so many people these days, it’s amazing!

Haha I’ll film a video anywhere! 👀 My partner was at a wedding with some friends (I wasn’t invited 😅) so brought my camera stuff with me and lights and produced this CarPlay video until it had finished. Had a Pizza Express that night too, it was great 👍🏼 Never been to Andover before but the lakes were beautiful (where I filmed the start and the end)

You legend thank you 🙏 I spend ages blurring out the QR codes but missed one! It's not my actual daily phone running iOS 17 anyway but who knows it could have had an impact! I'll be driving and people could be adding songs to my playlist 😂 RU-vid's currency processing a blur on that part of the video, so next time you watch it, it'll be gone! Thank you again 👊🏼

@@npoleary it's blured now i hope no one scand it 😁 of you have a lot of random music and picures

Haha I bought an iPhone to specifically make this video so it’s not the phone I use day to day. I use my main phone a lot for replying to comments, managing socials and all sorts so need a reliable iOS. I will defo upgrade to iOS 17 on the main but yeah that QR code could be my iCloud account music playlist! 😂 Don’t need songs being added randomly to my car 😂 Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏

@@npoleary ohh that’s great😃! I asked because I changed my car 2 weeks ago and bought a 2019 A Class AMG Line Premium with the 10.25 screen so I was wondering if it supports full screen CarPlay.

@stephanie123093 ah very nice! No sadly not it’ll only be the A-Class facelift where the 10.25” screen is the only one available so full screen CarPlay from 2023 models onwards.

@@npoleary Ok perfect, thanks for the reply. Specifically I wanted to understand why in your class A in your previous videos it wasn't wide screen and now it is. Did you do any kind of coding or is it down to IOS 17?

@gianlucascapolo3890 no it’s down to car manufacturer. This is the only A-Class I’ve owned on my channel, it’s the new facelift / new generation that I featured in a few videos ago. Any model prior to this will have a cropped screen because of the two screen sizes.

Thank you! 🤓

I noticed on my app that my car updated to MBUX 2.4 last month. Haven’t seen any extra features though. Looks like it was just bug updates and fixes.

No sadly not it’s down to the car to support that functionality

Damnit

Hmmm seems fine for me Have you seen there was an update released yesterday for Google Maps? iOS 17 is the update for the phone’s operating system, so make sure you go to the App Store, tap your profile pic, swipe down and update all apps. Probably best to do over Wi-Fi as there will be a few! Latest versions will provide bug fixes and optimisations for the latest iOS system. Oh haha that’s my “Focus mode” I have automations programmed on my phone so that when I film on my phone (to capture the screen) it doesn’t show any notifications or calls.

Sadly no it’s an Apple Music feature so I doubt they’ll roll it out to others. It’s a selling point to use that instead. Bear in mind Apple Music vs Spotify, they all have pros and cons. If you’re more used to one over the other, I’d stick with that to be honest 👍🏼

So iOS 17 fixed it?

@@npoleary it’s fixed is all I know. Whether it was a bug in 16 or the process of upgrading idk. First I think.

Wooo that’s good!

That would be cool! Can’t wait for that!

It does but you can tap map and again and it’ll be full screen again 🤓

@@npoleary great thanks!

No sadly just Apple Music with a valid subscription to it I wouldn’t worry too much though, Spotify and Apple Music, they all have pros and cons so just stick with one that you like and find familiar 🤓

Aha! There we go! Defo a small world! 🤓

@@npoleary For sure! Had a blast down there, even though you threw the shitty 50mph wind and rain at us while we were down by the Hurst Castle. lol. Gorgeous part of the planet that way. Thanks for having us. Cheers!

But you can’t send internet to the car from your phone. There’s nothing on the screen you can use really.

Yes I also find it is the greatest pain ! And I can’t believe MB can’t tweak its software to sense the screen size and would be surprised it it really impacted the processing significantly etc I just don’t use car play - also because I have to plug it in .. I can use MB system and for music at least w Bluetooth connection I can ask Siri via my watch to play xx etc music. Not a premium work around. But it works.

Yes I wish it was full screen too. It’s not just Mercedes there are other car manufacturers too. My partner had a Mini, the previous one it was cropped because it was available in two screen sizes and the new one it’s full screen. CarPlay can’t natively scale so it depends on what screen sizes are on offer when ordering from new. I wish it was full screen for everyone!

@@npoleary thank you so much, that makes perfect sense, thanks for the detailed explanation. It’s one of the few things that bugs me, other than that it’s a great system, Infact I tend to use the mbux more than CarPlay now!

I guess it depends on what you’ve installed? This doesn’t sound like a manufacturer installation so what have you added? Another screen or replaced the screen in the car? What’s the make of the screen / model and year of car?

Haha thanks I know…I always get comments that “it activated my phone!” 😂

Thank you! Yes it is a concern that I always factor in before updating anything. Running a RU-vid Channel full time requires stable apps and programs! 😅😅 Phones are very complex and of course it can vary but…I am almost close to saying this is the most stable version of iOS I’ve ever seen 👍🏼 Haven’t had any issues whatsoever so far! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@@npoleary thank you

In fact I think Apple have just released iOS 17.0.1 😂 that was fast! I’m actually staying this on this one for a few days at least before I upgrade just to be sure

Apple announced it to the manufactures as it was a developers conference so car manufacturers are working on it. Trust me I’m more excited to see that more than anyone else! 😂 Volvo got close: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HB4CODQmYl8.htmlsi=SWv-VuKeC5zKt3zf They have Apple Maps over there but I don’t believe anyone’s done it yet. Plus this will only be for new models in the coming years I highly doubt something like that would be an over the air update for any car. Amazing if it is / if it ever will be but I just want to see it.

No but you can on Google Maps 🤓
