My wife can hook her iPhone 12 up to the same cable and her phone buzzes as Car Play connects and loses connection. I use the exact same cable in the same USB2 port and it works without fail. I think it is on the iPhone end. Have you tried the same cable in different ports and a different cable in the USB2 port?
Also sucks for people like myself/family who are so heavily invested in the Apple Ecosystem (& Amazon/Alexa to a point). But Apple has a good "success" rate with us we don't complain too much.
Yeah, they have good rep while they support their product. While it is still sold in stores. Soon after, is when you start having issues. I like their "In Store" support. They can fix things from hardware to software. It can be great if you stay up to date with it.
I got mine in January and haven’t had any issues far. Traffic has me sitting in the jeep with car play for over an hour most days.
Not sure what you meant by this, but I doubt Apple is phasing out cars. In fact, they are investing heavily in cars and are rumored to be entering the auto market in the next five years. Project Titan, an on-again-off-again car side project for many years, is back on. Apple's goal is to have as many value-creating users spend as much time as possible using iOS. If iOS can power a good user experience in a car, a user will spend an extra 1-2 hrs a day on commutes, and even longer on road trips, in the iOS ecosystem - and not Google's or an OEM's. More hours spent on iOS further entrenches a user in the Apple ecosystem and makes them more likely to buy macs, ipads, watches, airpods, airtags, etc. Eventually, ApplePay could be used for tolls, as it already works on subways and busses. They may even sell you the car itself one day. With respect to phasing stuff out, it is hardware that eventually gets categorized as "vintage" and "obsolete" and loses support after 3-7 years, depending on what it is, but this is industrywide and is generally part of the innovation process. Besides, CarPlay is really just a projection of your phone onto a second screen...its not cutting edge tech...it is the non-Apple hardware/software where the problems generally reside.
How do you get that from their post? She said mid production they changed the console port to accept CarPlay data. You're good.
Apple is known to drop support for anything Non Apple. It wouldn't surprise me if they went completely proprietary on their car only works with an iPhone and drops support for carplay altogether for others. Time will tell.
Think CarPlay:Cars just as Apple TV:TVs. There is no benefit to Apple from conceding a huge opportunity to Google. In fact, it increases the use cases for Music, Maps, and Messages.
I don't disagree, but I don't think any of us are interested in buying iCars. I would be very surprised. Most Jeep owners like the freedom to do what we want.
Mine is a 2021 mode
I’m sure the CarPlay API requirements are quite clear. Apple can’t support each OEM differently - it’s up to the manufacturers to build their systems in accordance with the specs provided or simply don’t claim it as a feature. The issue also seems to be port specific, which indicates a hardware issue.
