iOS 17 rumoured to release Monday September 18th. Previous years it's always been 6pm / 8pm so keep an eye out!

Very nice video Nick🙂. I would like to show us and explain the Guard 360 Package feature if possible!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Good suggestion! I’ll add it to the list! 🤓

[@Giuliointhetube]

Cool stuff, but you still need to swap to maps manually if you receive a call during navigation. They should implement the call menu in overlay with maps to be efficient.

[@npoleary]

That’s a good idea! Would love that feature!

[@JoshWaller]

Agreed! This is the most annoying thing in CarPlay. My screen isn’t touch, so I have to use the scroll wheel and navigate back to maps.

[@peterkapusi5882]

I was just about to ask if there is any method avoiding that but it seems there is none. Really annoying.

Hi Nick, thank you another very informative video. 😊 Regarding one of the new features to CarPlay, SharePlay. Is this only for Apple Music only, or would it work on Spotify? Many thanks keep videos coming 👏👌

[@npoleary]

I believe Apple Music only I don’t think it’s got a kit to work with other apps yet (if Apple are going to roll it out) They might keep it as a selling point for Apple Music Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏🙏

[@qm7669]

I read that its the cars other occupants can stream Spotify through it but beware you can only use this feature if the driver has a paid Apple Music Subscription. Big fail on Apple's part there

[@JamesTheRock]

Would be good to know

[@Orbit353]

As @qm7996 already stated, you need an Apple Music subscription on the main phone to get the SharePlay feature in the first place. But also limiting, the people joining in can only select music from _your_ phone (in practice almost anything, given an Apple Music subscription), not whatever the the phone joining might have access to.

[@TomMattin]

I live in southampton and have family in the new forest and regulary camp there etc, and was always soendinf my youth there. So i can relate with the signal lol

[@walterwhite1]

Thank you mate ❤

[@alunhoskins4513]

I changed back to ‘Hey Siri’ in the settings after using just the word ‘Siri’ for a couple of weeks. Too many false triggerings of Siri in the new set up, something I’d really wanted for a long time….until I started using it 😂 I now absolutely see why ‘Hey’ was used. Much better.

[@bradley7506]

Excellent video, thank you. Only thing I would like to see is the ability to download Apple Maps for larger areas. I need all western coastal US states for a long vacation drive and don’t want to use all the mobile data needed for the drive as I’m from outside the US…

[@RoadieWingZZ]

Just download multiple maps that overlap by some margin. You gotta stop sometime for fuel/food/rest and you can just select whichever offline map works best for your next trip segment. Not completely seamless, but about as easy peasyas it gets for now.

[@lnursalim]

Excellent video and explanation!

[@ClaSpecialized]

PERFECT VIDEO! I was hoping for next gen Apple CarPlay. I am sad that MB proclaimed it unlikely for them to implement it. They were mentioned as one of the cooperating car manufactures for next gen Apple car play during last year Apple conference. It seems to me that Apple wants us to forget about it. MBUX maps are so unusable 😢. They are not able to to keep up with realtime road closures update of WAZE and others. I am looking FW that day when car manufactures realizes that they should give up and enable full screen Apple next/gen CarPlay. Could you make video about that? Thank you.

[@npoleary]

Me too! I’ve been emailing all the car manufacturers but no one knows anything about it :( I do hope it arrives one day (but there again most likely on a newly released model I’m sure!) Maybe! I’ll add it to the list!

I’m hearing September 12 here in the United States

[@theolddc1]

Is there any way to turn up the volume on music etc in play podcasts and it’s very difficult to hear on the motorway, but if i play via Bluetooth it’s fine and loud

[@npoleary]

You should just be able to turn it up, there aren’t any additional volume controls in CarPlay for that. What model of car do you have and what year?

[@jhors7777]

Thank you for posting this helpful video

[@npoleary]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🙏

[@l.mkelly]

Great video! 😃How do you get CarPlay to fill the whole screen? On the native screen of my Mercedes A Class AMG '21 it fills the screen but when CarPlay launches it cuts off a section on the left side... Any ideas?

[@npoleary]

Sadly not all cars can do full screen CarPlay. There are other manufacturers who have come across the same issue before. The reason is because MBUX (also known as NTG 6) on Mercedes is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything. So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen. NTG 7 found in some new cars have higher faster processors and have one screen size leading to a full screen experience on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hope that explains potentially why it’s like that on some cars!

[@andrewwenhlowskyj1944]

That’s interesting to know that it’s a MBUX issue, not an Apple one. I was waiting for this update to fix it on my GLC screen. I no longer use CarPlay because the screen looks ridiculous with the blank sides. It seriously looks like a GUI error, something you’d find in vehicles from much cheaper manufacturers.

[@npoleary]

Others have had the same before, my partner had a Mini Cooper, cropped on CarPlay because you could order it with two screen sizes but the newer one is now full screen. I know there are others too

[@freddieffred]

I use wireless CarPlay in my A250e but the chopped screen makes it very awful😭. Isn’t there a way to use the full 10.25” screen?

Hi Nick, am i mistaken or have you managed to get your Carplay to fill the screen more? looks like there is a lot less border than usual :)

Is there anyway to make CarPlay bigger on the last gen MBUX yet?

[@npoleary]

Latest Generation supports full screen CarPlay 🤓 MBUX NTG 6 (when you say Hey Mercedes it has lines for the voice assistant) This has a cropped version of CarPlay because there are multiple screen sizes, 7” and 10.25” MBUX NTG 7 (when you say Hey Mercedes, it has sparkles for the voice assistant) This version supports full screen CarPlay as you cannot get it in 7” it’s only available in the full 10.25 screen size so no cropped CarPlay and it’s Wireless too!

Number 7 is actually not new in iOS 17. It was introduced in iOS 14 and has been available in the Ford Mustang Mach-E for almost 2 years. It was introduced for Porsche Taycan a few months ago. What IS new in iOS 17 is real-time EV charger availability. This means when you search for EV chargers in Apple Maps, it will now tell you in real-time how many charging plugs are available/in use/unavailable at that EV charging site.

[@npoleary]

Thanks for clarifying, I think the API only works with certain manufacturers. Does it work with yours? 🤓

@@npoleary as far as I’m aware, this feature is only available in Mustang Mach-E and Porsche Taycan. it’s rumored to be coming soon to Ford F150 lightning.

@@npoleary ohh that’s great😃! I asked because I changed my car 2 weeks ago and bought a 2019 A Class AMG Line Premium with the 10.25 screen so I was wondering if it supports full screen CarPlay.

[@npoleary]

@stephanie123093 ah very nice! No sadly not it’ll only be the A-Class facelift where the 10.25” screen is the only one available so full screen CarPlay from 2023 models onwards.

[@mahirmohamed7140]

How do I go about getting widescreen/full screen CarPlay on my car. It is a shame that CarPlay only uses half the screen.

[@npoleary]

Sadly not all cars can do full screen CarPlay. There are other manufacturers who have come across the same before. The reason is because MBUX (also known as NTG 6) on Mercedes is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything. So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen. NTG 7 found in some new cars have higher faster processors and have one screen size leading to a full screen experience on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hope that explains potentially why it’s like that on some cars!

[@gianlucascapolo3890]

Hi Nick, from your video compared to the previous version, Apple Car Play seems to use a larger portion of the screen, I also own a Mercedes with MBUX and extended screen. Can you confirm this for me? The black side bands where the temperature of the two zones used to be are no longer there! Thank you

@@npoleary Ok perfect, thanks for the reply. Specifically I wanted to understand why in your class A in your previous videos it wasn't wide screen and now it is. Did you do any kind of coding or is it down to IOS 17?

[@npoleary]

@gianlucascapolo3890 no it’s down to car manufacturer. This is the only A-Class I’ve owned on my channel, it’s the new facelift / new generation that I featured in a few videos ago. Any model prior to this will have a cropped screen because of the two screen sizes.

Great intro, Nick.

Nick , is it true that MBUX ipdate is coming soon? Which models will it work on? Cheers

[@npoleary]

I noticed on my app that my car updated to MBUX 2.4 last month. Haven’t seen any extra features though. Looks like it was just bug updates and fixes.

Apple maps needs a speedometer !!!

[@SoleEpiphany]

Since the update google maps won’t load unless I launch the app on my phone🙄. What’s the graduation hat symbol on the CarPlay screen?

[@npoleary]

Hmmm seems fine for me Have you seen there was an update released yesterday for Google Maps? iOS 17 is the update for the phone’s operating system, so make sure you go to the App Store, tap your profile pic, swipe down and update all apps. Probably best to do over Wi-Fi as there will be a few! Latest versions will provide bug fixes and optimisations for the latest iOS system. Oh haha that’s my “Focus mode” I have automations programmed on my phone so that when I film on my phone (to capture the screen) it doesn’t show any notifications or calls.

[@olintofcbj2]

Does share play works with Spotify? If doesn’t, is there any chance of getting it soon?

[@npoleary]

Sadly no it’s an Apple Music feature so I doubt they’ll roll it out to others. It’s a selling point to use that instead. Bear in mind Apple Music vs Spotify, they all have pros and cons. If you’re more used to one over the other, I’d stick with that to be honest 👍🏼

[@pdjhh]

I have pretty much lost all my connection issues since going from 16 to 17. I use a wireless CarPlay dongle and used to have to reset my phone every day but not any more.

[@npoleary]

So iOS 17 fixed it?

[@pdjhh]

@@npoleary it’s fixed is all I know. Whether it was a bug in 16 or the process of upgrading idk. First I think.

Wooo that’s good!

It’d be great if there was a way to add your own wallpaper…why i can just use my own is beyond me. Also wish the was a brightness setting for display screen when in caryplay without having to dim my entire cockpit through Audi…

That would be cool! Can’t wait for that!

[@johannesburgreal441]

thanks. so what happens when there's an incoming call? does the maps screen get minimized in favor of the call screen? this would be an issue when navigating a tricky spot using one of the maps apps. thanks.

It does but you can tap map and again and it’ll be full screen again 🤓

Very interesting, thanks Quick question, my 2019 A35 premium+ has CarPlay activated, but it’s not full width on the screen like your car; how do I have it full screen? Really bugs me!

[@jiml6908]

Yes I also find it is the greatest pain ! And I can’t believe MB can’t tweak its software to sense the screen size and would be surprised it it really impacted the processing significantly etc I just don’t use car play - also because I have to plug it in .. I can use MB system and for music at least w Bluetooth connection I can ask Siri via my watch to play xx etc music. Not a premium work around. But it works.

[@npoleary]

Yes I wish it was full screen too. It’s not just Mercedes there are other car manufacturers too. My partner had a Mini, the previous one it was cropped because it was available in two screen sizes and the new one it’s full screen. CarPlay can’t natively scale so it depends on what screen sizes are on offer when ordering from new. I wish it was full screen for everyone!

[@ConanMotorsport]

@@npoleary thank you so much, that makes perfect sense, thanks for the detailed explanation. It’s one of the few things that bugs me, other than that it’s a great system, Infact I tend to use the mbux more than CarPlay now!

Ive added an apple play/android auto screen to my merc. The older infotainment screen was small and no apple car play. I wish, however there was a quick way to switch aux on/off ! I like to listen to the radio and if my phone rings while im listening to the radio I get no sound unless I go to original car settings and change it in the sound settings…by which time ive missed the call. Any workaround?

I guess it depends on what you’ve installed? This doesn’t sound like a manufacturer installation so what have you added? Another screen or replaced the screen in the car? What’s the make of the screen / model and year of car?
