Apple uses Siri for nearly every interaction. Just like on an iPhone, Siri can change the music, send a text, launch an app or provide navigation. Using Siri is a lot more natural than a phone while in a car.
The new chips built into many BMW cars built this year require software updates to run Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Dealers are asking BMW customers who receive new cars without CarPlay to wait for an over-the-air update that will enable the functionality "by the end of June at the latest."
In this tutorial we will see how to activate Apple Carplay on a BMW i3. After checking the chassis number of the customer, we found that it has the pre-equipment Apple Carplay and to benefit from it, simply activate it. Also, it didn't have a Wifi antenna (wireless Apple Carplay at BMW since 2016!) so you have to install it. Of course, some BMW vehicles already have the original Wifi antenna so for them, no need to install it.
Here we will see in pictures how to install Apple Carplay in an Audi A1. Required material: a ratchet with a 8 mm bit and a Torx T20 screwdriver. Installation time: 40-50 minutes. Inventory: Carplay module and wiring. So we count the module, a wifi antenna, 2 LVDS cables (video), the power cable, the sound cable, and a USB cable (you don't have to connect it if you use the device wireless).
Apple Carplay accompanies us on our journeys with unparalleled ease of use. In this article we will see what theCarlinkit adapteris really worth in 2022 on vehicles alreadyequipped with Apple Carplay.
Here we will see in pictures how to install Apple Carplay on a 2015 BMW 6 series coupe F13 with NBT system. Required equipment: a T20 torx screwdriver. Installation time: 30-40 minutes. Inventory: Carplay module and wiring. So we count the module, a wifi antenna, 2 LVDS (video) cables, the power cable, the auxiliary cable, and a USB cable (no need to plug it in if we use the device wirelessly).
Flexibility is important when it comes to entertainment options. While Honda's integrated infotainment system is powerful and intuitive, the convenience of a smartphone can sometimes be hard to ignore. Powerful Apple users can stay connected to their iPhones even while driving certain Hondas using the simplified Apple CarPlay utility.
With the new #1, Mercedes-Benz's baby, Smart, has changed the game: the shape of the car, the design, the technical layout, and something unprecedented and very important in EVs: the entire software ecosystem.
Among the innovations announced at the presentation of this new vehicle, there was one seemingly insignificant, but that says a lot about the ambitions of the Daimler-Geely project: the decision not to equip the first place with the most popular in the world, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, total amazement, lucidity... or not?
In the following tutorial, we will observe in images the procedure for installing Apple Carplay on a Mercedes GLA Class of 2014 and therefore with a version NTG 4.5 4.7. Equipment needed: a T20 torx screwdriver and a curved tool to remove the ventilation grills. Installation time: 30-40 minutes. Inventory: Carplay module and wiring. So we count the module, a wifi antenna, 2 LVDS (video) cables, the power cable, the auxiliary cable, and a USB cable (no need to connect it if you use the device wirelessly).
Of course, using amobile deviceto navigate, listen to music or talk to contacts while driving makes a lot of sense, especially sinceGoogleandApplehave developed car-optimized experiences for users.
Wazeis useful in many ways, but compared to other navigation apps, it's often a huge difference with a community-powered reporting system. Based on reports sent in by other users on the road, Waze can find the fastest route to a particular destination and then provide instructions on how to get there.
In general, Waze is very accurate, especially since it usesreal-time trafficdatacollected from millions of cell phones.
The concepts it is based on are very simple, but on the other hand, Waze is a very complex software. Today, we are going to tell you three things you probably didn't know about this application.
Since its introduction in 2016, Apple CarPlay has improved significantly over the default user interface in most cars, but many of our concerns with it and Android Auto stem from their limitations. New features like dual-screen support and third-party apps like Google Maps can help, but much of the driving experience still exists outside of Apple's control panel. Mark Gurman reported for Reuters that Apple's "IronHeart" project plans to tie features like climate control, seat positioning and even some surround sound settings to the iPhone.
