I have been researching and using crutch field, however every time I add one to my cart it suggests that I get new speakers in my car to ensure they don't overheat with the CarPlay system. I drive a 2012 versa and am not wiling to spend a significant amount of money on new speakers after already buying an apple car play. Is this just to be extra cautious or is this a serious issue? I am seeing it on everything I am adding to cart.

I noticed my car audio is very soft after updating to IOS 18.0. I don’t have voice control set up and have disabled Siri but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other work arounds? This is in a 2024 rav4.

I just bought a CarPlay unit that sticks on the dash as I have a very old car(2001) and the only option I could use is fm transmission for the music to come out of my car but this makes it sound horrible. I have no issues with the car speakers as I used to just use a Bluetooth transmitter for fm and that was fine. Any way to fix this or did I just get unlucky?

I just picked up a 2023 Sierra 1500 AT4 and noticed that when using Apple CarPlay, about a third of the screen is still taken up by the OEM display. I’ve been digging through the settings but haven’t been able to find an option to disable the split screen and get CarPlay to use the full display.

Has anyone figured out how to get fullscreen CarPlay on this model? I’d really appreciate any tips or videos with step-by-step instructions.

Anyone know of a good touchscreen radio I can get gps from for 2012 Toyota Camry? I can’t afford the $500-800 in total Best Buy radios with their required add on parts and wiring

Is there a setting that will automatically turn off Waze when it’s disconnected from Carplay?

If I'm listening to a book or a podcast through Apple CarPlay, when I get a text from someone and Siri reads it, when I'm done with Siri and want to go back to the audio I was listening to, the car tells me I'm on a phone call and I can't control any of the audio, nor "hang up". Anyone else dealing with this? Was only an issue after I upgraded to iOS 18.1. My car is a Toyota 2024 RAV4 Hybrid

Is this possible ?

I don't have multi user support on the car play device I have

I want one for my wife's phone and one for mine ..

Is this possible

Switched to the apple ecosystem and would like recommendations on wireless carplay adapters. Previously I've used Motorola android adapters and they were great. Closest to it I found was a monster car play adapter but not a lot of info on it. Anyone use it? It's currently the cheapest $40 at sams.

My biggest requirements are stability, withstand hot TX climate and multi user is nice to have.

Hello!

So... I'll upgrade my Astra H with two new touchscreens - 7" and 10,1". I wanted to get everything working over RPI 5 8GB control - audio, CAN bus, dash and rear cams, and of course CarPlay. For now I have no idea what to do with CarPlay. I wanted to use node-CarPlay project (https://github.com/rhysmorgan134/node-CarPlay) but it lacks performance. Now I'm thinking about this box: https://www.carlinkit.store/collections/android-system-ai-box/products/2024-new-carlinkit-android-13-carplay-ai-box-hdmi-wireless-carplay-android-auto-tv-video-box-qualcomm-sdm660-8-core-split-screen but description says that I need factory CarPlay in my car and of course my 06' Astra doesn't have it built-in.

Do you have maybe any recommendations what can I do in this case? I'll replace CID and radio with these (already owned) displays but I have no idea what to do with CarPlay which is mandatory for me...

So I have a Toyota RAV4 with wired CarPlay and it’s not upgradable to wireless. I know there is wireless CarPlay adaptors out there and I was wondering what’s the best one is?

I read somewhere that they sometimes have issues with gps maybe?

I don’t need extra stuff like YouTube, Netflix stuff, just your basic CarPlay stuff.

What do you recommend? What should I look for?

Thanks

When connected, it keeps going to the home screen instead of last used app like before. I’m on iOS 18.1 is there a way to fix this?

I was having an issue with my Messages app icon no longer showing up on CarPlay anymore. After doing tons of trouble shooting and lots of googling, I found out that if you have changed your iPhone to use Face ID to open Messages, it will no longer work on CarPlay. As soon as I removed the FACE Id, the app instantly showed back up. Hope this helps someone save a bunch of time and frustration like it did me.

sometimes my carplay will connect for a few seconds then disconnect i use it wired due to having a black box however every time anyone else plugs their phone in it seems to work fine however if i try my phone after or before it will connect then disconnect a few seconds after like i say this is not a every day thing but often enough to become annoying any reasons possible why?

I drive a 2021 Hyundai Elantra, and I feel like half the time I start my car, Carplay just doesn't work. My phone will go into Carplay mode, and act as if it's connected, but my car just won't switch over. If I go into the settings to manually connect, it will try for like 30 seconds and then say that it failed to connect. Restarting my iphone works sometimes, but why should I be needing to do this so frequently.

Just upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Last night I attempted to use CarPlay for the first time with new phone in my Nissan Sentra 2020 and it wouldn't work, it was just charging my phone. Today I got it to work and when I disconnected to put the cable away my audio wouldn't stream. In the car's Bluetooth menu the little music note to indicate audio streaming was grayed out and when I tapped it it said "Bluetooth connection failed." I tried a few steps on my own but right now it seems if I want to use Apple CarPlay I need to disconnect my phone and car from each other and reconnect them with Bluetooth. With my last phone, an iPhone 12, it was a near-seamless affair. Plug in, show maps/info, unplug, second of loading then audio streaming over BT. Anyone else dealing with this? Are there new settings I need to enable/disable?

Please help. I have a iPhone 14 and it is no longer working when I plug it up on car (usb port). It randomly stopped working. I have a 2021 Toyota Corolla and it says “the connected device can not be recognised” when I plug it in. I have tried multiple iphones and multiple cord, even a Apple cord and it says same thing. I tried to plug in a portable charger and it actually was charging it. So maybe it’s a iPhone thing. (Radio is updated, has been reset and Bluetooth stills work so I don’t think it’s my radio)

Is there any way to make the widget on the top right smaller? On the right side of the screen, this widget used to only take up about 1/3rd of the space while the Now Playing widget took up about 2/3rds. They're now suddenly equal in size but I'd rather have the Now Playing widget take up a majority of the right half of the screen again since I never use the buttons on the top right.

Hello people, Ive been searching and learning alot of info on how to get carplay on this car.

I really dont want to change the current screen but after lookin online and asking everywhere im getting mixed opinions on what on earth to do. I have some questions...

Is this version MIB1 or MIB2?

If it's MIB2 than people have said it is possible, only issue is I only have 1 sd card slot.

It would be great to get some help and solutions below as getting another screen installed is the last thing I want to do however if thats the only option than I guess oh well.

Other notes, theres no app connect options or navigation pages on the current system.

Cheers.

Every time I leave home maps loads a random destination. If I’m out, it automatically loads directions home. I have deleted everything from the library and it still does this. Is there any way to turn this off?

I have a 24 Chevy Colorado, my first vehicle with car play, so still learning. Is there a way to make an icon for a website link to play audio?

I want to listen to a news channel live stream and I can get it to work from my phone through the cars audio with car play. I am listening from a bootleg stream through safari.

Was looking to see if there was an app that would let me do it with an icon in car play so I didn’t have to use the phone. That way I can easily switch between the live stream and Spotify during commercials

Thanks

Hi guys quick question

Trying to figure out what is the best wireless adapter with good privacy options for my mom's car. She just bought her new car and was a bit dissapointed that the car didn't hace a wireless conection for CarPlay. Been looking around amazon but the brand name's don't look that recognizable and am a bit worried about privacy issues.

Thanks

Hi there,

This maybe a bit of a niche problem but not sure if anyone can help.

I play music through my stereo on my car through Bluetooth, but I have a CarPlay unit also which I use to navigate and see/choose what music is playing. The reason for this is my car is old and I don’t want to change the stereo.

The problem I have is when I play music on Spotify, If I ask CarPlay to play a song, Spotify will switch from my Bluetooth device and start using CarPlay to play through, which is obviously no good, as I’m listening through the radio. I have to go on Spotify and change the Bluetooth device to my radio to make it work, which isn’t ideal.

Does anyone have the same problem or know how I can fix this?

Thanks

Installed it with no problems.

I have a 2025 Honda Hybrid Sport CRV. From the day we picked the car up CarPlay with my iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 18.0.1) has randomly (always less than 10 minutes, and even when not selected) frozen. It will cough once or twice and freeze. This happens whether operating wired or wirelessly. Software is up to date on both devices. Turning off the car and restarting will reset but does not ensure that it will not freeze up again. Unplugging and reconnecting does not help. A hard reset has not solved the issue. Forget This Car has not solved this problem. This occurs in Maps, Music and Podcasts — the only apps I really use.

Often the Honda’s console is slow to recognize my phone.

I just took the car in for its 5000-mile service and this occurred sitting in the dealership with their ‘tech guru’ watching and his suggestion was to bring it in when I had some more time.

My CarPlay stopped working on my 21 Explorer with Sync 3 and I’ve tried all the normal suggestions (remove phone from car and re pair, i reset Sync, tried multiple cables, checked that CarPlay was allowed). I plugged my girlfriend’s phone and CarPlay worked instantly so I’m assuming something happened on my phones end. Please help.

i just bought a carplay screen for my 2007 saturn arua and i would like to put a funny boot screen on it but i cant figure out how and the other threads methods have not worked for me. I put a link below to the specific one that i bought. any tips are welcome please and thank you.
