App Connect / Apple Car Play
App Connect / Apple Car Play
Just been quoted over £200 to get the code for this..... I really fancy it but it's rather steep. One thing that is holding me back, is whether you can use it wirelessly. Those that have it, does it have to be wired? If so, I might pass.

Yes it's wired.

Re: App Connect / Apple Car Play
It's absolutely brilliant and completely worth it. Much better than just having Bluetooth for calls, plus you get proper satnav.
Apple has said that they support wireless yet there are no products on the market that can do it wirelessly and Apple blocked VW from showing a wireless version at the Paris Motor Show the other week.

Re: App Connect / Apple Car Play
Ok. Need to really consider this. I just know having the wire there will annoy me. My OCD.
Cheers for the reply.

Buy a really short black lightning cable so it blends in more and just sit the phone in as up holder so it's tidy?

You can't notice it is plugged in and I leave it in the cup holder.

Get a short iPhone lightning cable, or get a BMW... http://www.scienceworldreport.com/artic ... eature.htm
Re: App Connect / Apple Car Play
I think the cable might be cheaper than the BM. Although you never know with Apple.Scarum wrote:Get a short iPhone lightning cable, or get a BMW... http://www.scienceworldreport.com/artic ... eature.htm
Re: App Connect / Apple Car Play
Let's have some pic guys of yours when connected
Does anyone even have a neat holder they use?
I'm definitely more tempted reading this, but, I just read that it doesn't support what's app. Is this right? That could really suck, can't remember last time someone sent me a text instead of using what's app.

Re: App Connect / Apple Car Play
No whatsapp, basically as of now (as I heard they plan to add more) it's phone, Siri, maps,audiobooks, music, texts, podcasts and Spotify

With iOS 10 you can use siri to send WhatsApp messages, including through carplay. At present siri cannot read you your WhatsApp messages though - this may come later. The number of apps supported is limited, but it's great for maps/music/podcasts/calls

To be honest when you're driving a car you don't want that many distractions = too many apps.

Re: App Connect / Apple Car Play
No, it’s not wireless. Phone needs to be connected by cable to the USB port in front of the gear lever.
I don’t have it in my car - a 2016 model. If I did, I’d probably only use it for Google maps or Waze, but with the type of journeys I do (pretty much all local journeys), I rarely need sat nav either.
