carplay

CarPlay is an Apple standard which enables a car radio or head unit to be a display and a controller for an iOS device. It is available on all iPhone models beginning with iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 or later.
According to Apple's website, all major vehicle manufacturers are using CarPlay. Vehicles without CarPlay can have vehicle audio products from automotive aftermarket suppliers fitted.

    CarPlay Menu on Wrong Side

    So this morning my partner plugged their iPhone into the car and CarPlay popped up as expected but the menu/status bar has appeared on the left hand side, rather than the right where it usually shows. Any ideas? Tried reconnecting and using a different cable. My iPhone still shows the...

    carplay apple maps layout changing dynamically

    I have been noticing this on most of my recent trips and is not a trivial issue to ignore (at least for me). I use Apple maps via carplay. You have the map and then two navigation cards overlaid above it. One showing the upcoming change in direction and another showing distance and time...

    CarPlay and Android Auto stopped working

    We sent our car to Peterborough today to see if they could fix the radio. It’s a bit crashy, and recently both CarPlay and AndroidAuto stopped working. After most of a day (and no courtesy car) they’ve said it wouldn’t take a software update and MG need to fix it. We don’t know when that will be...

    Best cable to use for carplay

    I'm struggling to find a cable to work well with Carplay. I have been using a third party but good quality cable in there but it just disconnects constantly, it's really annoying, especially when using maps. I've tried an official apple one & it just comes up with an error saying 'iPods not...

    CarPlay not working when connected before system boot

    Hi, When I connect my phone to the car before the system is completely booted, CarPlay won’t start. In that case I always have to reconnect the phone to get CarPlay working. Does anyone else have this issue and is there anything that can be done to fix the issue?

    Apple CarPlay and car radio

    Hi I've previously noted that if I am playing the car radio (DAB) and plug in my phone and the CarPlay button becomes active the radio stops playing. I can play audio from the phone into the car but could find no way of getting the radio to play. I found this irksome. A week or two back I took...

    Wireless CarPlay Adapter connectivity

    Hi everyone, new around here. Had my MG4 SE version delivered last month and so far I’m loving it, no problems at all. It’s my first EV and has been such an amazing EV to start off with. My only minor annoyance was the fact you have to plug your phone in each time to get CarPlay to work, I’d...

    Can't get CarPlay to work [SOLVED]

    I took delivery of my brand new EV4 Trophy today and I love it! But the whole computer setup is a bit challenging (my last car was a 2007 Fiesta and had no computer of any kind!). I gather I can connect my iPhone via a USB cable so I can actually control the phone from the car (CarPlay?). But I...

    Wireless CarPlay dongle recommendation

    I assume the CarPlay as standard is wired even though the charger is wireless. Can anyone recommend a tested wireless dongle? I use a carlinkit in my other car.

    Frozen solid!

    Morning! My car ZSEV LR Trophy is driving me mad! The radio stopped playing after 2 mins again this morning so I switched to my music through car play. That didn’t work and then Waze froze too. The home button wouldn’t work, screen just stuck and even by turning the whole car off and on again it...

    A work-around for the awful radio

    Sorry, but just about everything about the radio is awful and very distracting if trying to change stations whilst you are driving. My workaround is to use a combination of Apple CarPlay, and the BBC Sounds app and the TuneIn Radio app. Connect your iPhone to the car with a cable. Say ‘Hey...
