CarPlay wishful thinking

[Cryptocap]

I hope there is some backwards capabilities and the GM signs on for it because this would be awesome for the digital dash. One would think one reason for going digital would be for future updates.

Here I am just hoping my truck has a heated steering wheel.

Still waiting on my retrofit for that

something can't wait.....

it will likely come from one of the big three google, microsoft, apple, maybe......amazon they like to run under the radar and have a huge cloud service
microsoft offered big big deals to all the top university professors over a decade ago to come work on robotics
just a matter of time...

I've never before realized some people like that sort of thing I see that little screen sticking up and wonder how better it would look gone. My bad.

If GM can't get CarPlay to work properly now, how on earth will they make this work? lol

What doesn’t work for you? And this is all UI done by Apple. GM just has to give the access.

I will say that CarPlay for me works well, flawlessly actualy, 95% of the time. 5% of the time it fails to connect wirelessly...but, I just got an infotainment software update yesterday at the dealer, and that hasn't happened again (yet)....

Hopefully that fixed the issue. I hadn’t experienced that issue with mine connecting.

Had my 22 Yukon Denali at the dealer for 2 days. My Apple Car Play wouldn't connect wirelessly at all. CarPlay works with a cord, but not wireless. After calls to Onstar, the GM Service DSM and the lead tech looking at it, it comes down to the 'data'. If I have run out of data, then wireless CarPlay won't work.
So, I need to keep data going (in Canada this costs me $16 for 1.5G) and try not to use vehicle supplied Google maps (which uses a ton of data).

Super frustrating as the sales rep / OnStar or SOMEONE should have told me upon purchase that I would need to keep a running subscprition for overpriced data on my $90k vehicle.

Lesson learned!

That sounds very suspect, in the US, 2022 Denali's come with 3 yrs connected services. Regardless, wireless carplay shouldn't be connected to the subscription at all, and sounds like they are slinging some BS. Go to another dealer.

You sure you don’t have the wireless hotspot off?!?
