iOS 18 Beta Apple CarPlay | 5 NEW FEATURES! 

Hey guys! Since recording this video, Apple released Beta 2 of iOS 18. The only change that I could see was on the bottom right icon (to switch between the split screen view and the main home screen with all of the icons). There's a way to go yet till September so I'll keep you updated if there are any changes! → SUBSCRIBE HERE: ru-vid.com/show-UC8VSC5vv_SUeydoBo9ISucw

All we want is a full screen update on previous mbux systems 😂

come on apple! let us watch videos when we are NOT driving.

I picked up my new EQB 300 on Monday and I’m loving it, just wanted to say thanks for all your videos. You definitely helped me make the right choice.

im running it on my main iphone 13 and its fine for the most part. worst thing I have encountered is massive thermal throttling when connected to car play, yt PIP while scrolling through safari. dev reboot (quickly press volume up then down, then press and hold the power button until it turns off and then shows the apple logo) fixed it and was back to normal. there does seem to be some sort of ram management issue happening but its not terrible to deal with.

As a diabetic who wears a CGM (Constant Glucose Monitor) which is integrated to my iphone via the manufacturer's app, it would be nice to be able to see this app displayed on my Apple Car Play without having to add multiple apps to talk to each other - and then, MAYBE, display readings on the Apple Car Play screen. I mostly use Apple Car Play while riding on my Goldwing motorcycle, and from a safety standpoint, it would be nice to get the CGM alerts/readings on the screen. Has anyone else mentioned this issue?

As mentioned in another comment, I wanted to also thank your for your videos, they have been a great help. I received my EQB 250 a few weeks ago and have been watching loads of your videos.(went for this over the 350 for that little bit more range). As for latest CarPlay seems, does not look that much different at all.

Great video…. Thanks Nick👍

Thanks for this video. I have lost my iMessages app on CarPlay. How can I get it back? It is not in the settings menu either.

Great video thanks Nick

Thanks for the video! Hopefully these updates apply to all Apple CarPlay vehicles and not dependent on which version of MBUX you have…

Another great one Nick

Looking forward to this update. Not going to be trialling it on my personal phone. But looking forward to it being wireless with a certain adapter. I’m sure you know what I mean 😉. Which btw is still going strong 👌🏼 Great video as always Nick. Hope you’re doing well.

next gen carplay looks SO much better than any car interface ive seen already, please leave tech to the tech companies plus as someone who owns an iphone, ipad, apple watch, mac, apple tv, etc, etc i want the interface in my car to match design wise with my car

Apple may hold on to new wallpapers for September release, or for RC (Release Candidate) versions of the beta builds, lets keep hoping! Otherwise I fully agree with the feature you mention, dark mode icons (at least, i could go without the tint) should be available in CarPlay as well.

I can see how to show the Speed Limit on Apple Maps but I cannot get it to warn me if I exceed it, unless I am missing something. That would be a really nice feature. For that need I use Waze but I find it difficult to make Waze the default navigation app - is that possible?

Thank you great info , yes any EV features would be very welcome as I drive a Genesis GV60 also a weather app would also be very nice.

Is there an easy way to adjust the volume of notifications in CarPlay? I find them to be startlingly loud on my Mercedes, even when music or audio is low. The only way I’ve figured it out is to turn down all notifications on my phone itself, or silencing it like you mention in the video, but it seems that I shouldn’t have to do that.

Hi how do we get the same wide screen apple carplay as what you have here? Driving a 2020 V177

My CarPlay has completely stopped working now. No option in the Settings on the phone. It charges when connected to my car USB as it always has. However now CarPlay is not coming up. And I didn’t back up before my last update 😑

I have just bought my GLA 250e facelift, and i am in love with the car. To be honest, if it was up to me I would have given you shares in Mercedes. You are doing a great job. When I picked up my car I told the salesman you don't need to explain anything, Nick explained everything.

Hey Nick, Would next gen carplay taking over the cars display of speed, rpm, etc work without a mobile network connection? I don’t know about the UK but in Australia even the major highways & expressways have mobile blackspots where there’s no reception. I don’t think “sorry officer I didn’t know I was speeding cause I had no reception” is gonna cut it 😅

i will add this, ford already talks with the current version of carplay, when my low fuel light comes on i get a notification to find a fuel station on my phone. i hope going forward they can integrate next gen car play with current hardware via a software update. alot of their vehicles already have the 12 inch main display for speed and revs etc.

Hi Nick. Thank you for your videos. I have a question. Why does Mercedes not have wireless apple carplay compatibility?

I would be interested in having CarPlay take over the instrument cluster *if* I could alter the fonts, gauges displayed, and their position, etc. Just having Apple’s interface vs the manufacturer’s one just changes one esthetic for another. The one thing I would 100% want to see is to use the nav program I’m using on my iPhone integrated. I wave a BMW with the heads up display, which I absolutely love. But if I go into CarPlay and use Apple Maps or Waze, etc, I then lose the heads up, so I don’t use them anywhere as much as I would otherwise.

This might simply be a quirk in IOS 18, but since running the Beta the sound in the car only comes from one speaker, then after a minute or 4, the rest of the speakers catch up. It is only through Carplay as the radio is unaffceted

Great video! Is there any dashcam improvements for new cars with NTG 7? Does it auto start now?

Hi Nick. When do you explain Mbux NTG8 (new E class break)?

I have been wondering about Apple CarPlay in Mercedes GLA 250e. The model of the car is 2022 and only offers wired CarPlay, yet it only appears to cover half the screen. I have been searching for any solution regarding this issue in order to make it fullscreen, but have found nothing. Is there any way to make it look as it is in the video?

Some Basic HomeKit integration. Like the Ability to open and close my garage doors.

Is full screen apple car play only available on NTG7 and above models? I have 2020 a35 AMG with NTG6 and its only partial screen

Apple shown the technical details for the new CarPlay. The “CarPlay” in the car with speed and everything is independent from the phone. In the video they explained the multiple layers of information that are separated but shown together. Pretty neat, highly recommended if curious.

Bayareabugs intro music 😂

Hey Nick. Apple CarPlay is not really evolving much, which in a way is fine by me as I only really need two things: the navigation and the music. All I need while driving. I would hope there would be a bit more personalization to combine the two on a screen, with the ability to tweak the split with more/less info for each (I know there is one view with both but very limited UI). Btw, I just traded in my GLA with a 2019 C43 AMG Coupe and oh man, what a car!

Your feature request were spot on 👍🏽 *Chat GPT *Weather App *Dark Mode / Tinted Icons *Custom Wallpapers *Apple Sport App

Multitouch support !

I would also like to use the next version of CarPlay, but Mercedes is not opting for that at this time. I read that they feel they would no longer be able to monitize their own infotainment apps via MercedesMe. It's disappointing, but perhaps in the future...

Really interesting video and ahead of other influencers 😊 You alluded to it but I would like to see Apple introduce a You Tube/Netflix app for Car Play linked to motion sensing of phone to enable video when car is stationary for say when charging an EV. Tech is on board phone and hackable so introduce an official motion sensitive version.

I want to be able to put MY OWN BACKGROUND like pictures or whatever 10:59

CarPlay has the weather app available in my 2023 Mercedes.

Thanks Nick, very interesting. Not actually that bothered about the full car play implementation allowing customization of dials, because Mercedes are already a long way there. As you know we can already change dials and information, and presumably Mercedes will continue to enhance. Personally I think it's great now. Also I find I use hey Mercedes more than siri because you can of course control car functionss safely not possible with a siri and not likely anytime soon without getting a new car. My request to apple 1. Improve the connection process to the car, it is generally reliable but can vary in speed and sometimes just not function (see in my Mercedes and also in my wife's audi). Add error message dispay if it recognizes a problem. 2 what about an apple radio, yes I know there are radio apps but integration with Siri is generally terrible or very limited. Mercedes integration with in car radio is far far superior to using siri with a radio app. 3 improve siri integration with Apple maps, Mercedes again miles superior with integration to the Mercedes sat nav

I would like to see: (1) Route optimization. By this I mean you could list errands where you need to go, and when you need to need to be there, and Maps would plan your route. It could even integrate with your calendar for the day. (2) Spatial Audio for the car. (3) Road trip planner, including restaurants, services, points of interest, and weather along the route.

9:54 give us streaming apps they can surely block them when the car is in movement.

Hi Nick, have you ever played the Geography quiz? Just ask Mercedes. It will give yoy a geo quiz with questions about cities and countries around the world

I am still waiting for an app developer to integrate blind spots warning to CarPlay. Keeping my fingers crossed.🤞

I wish I could have the ALTITUDE integrated somewhere !

Gen 2 Apple CarPlay retrofits are going to break Ebay 🤣

I find MBUX so good that I hardly use CarPlay anymore

I’ll give the next gen CarPlay a miss if it’s only on the new cars with speed limiters, tracking and geo fencing so they can control your car. I’ll stick with my slightly older car with limited government control.

I'd love if Apple would bring back the Whatsapp icon into the left column where you see last 3 opened apps. It was very useful to check for new messages, no matter what app you have open. Can't even figure on what ground they decide to pull it off. It's just stupid.

All I ask for is custom wallpapers

Feature I want is multi language MAPS. English version of maps, calling out a German street gives useless response from Siri. How about weather over the road maps so you know you’re heading for a storm.

RU-vid Netflix Hulu while parked!!!!

Proud I am the involver of this produts which exported it

New dash design please, the current one looks dated and im kinda sick of it

Your entire description of your motion sickness reminded me of Austin Powers and his dad (Michael Cain) when they had that conversation in London dialect! Completely unintelligible to an American listener!

I thought it was universally understood, Apple doesn't really care about what it's customers think about Carplay. It's better than Android Auto, so I can't complain too much but the restrictions they impose are a real bummer.

There was nothing of value in this bloated 14 minute performance art piece. Thumbs down.
