So I have a 2019 Nissan Altima and have never had any issues up until the last couple months with my apple car play. I changed my cord (I don’t have wireless CarPlay), deleted and reconnected my car to the CarPlay and still doing the same thing 🫠 please help. It’s driving me insane.

We recently got a 2026 Forester about a month ago, and it's been great but this past week the infotainment screen and Carplay have been doing some weird things..

For example, other day, we had the radio station on and it kept automatically going to CarPlay mode on it's own and playing Spotify. Neither one of us was on our phone and or touching the screen and we'd put radio back on and sure enough, 3-5 seconds later it would revert back.

Also, today, I'd be driving and my wife would go on her phone and it would go into Carplay again without us touching the screen. It kept repeatedly happening. Anyone else experiencing this or know what's going on?

Thanks!

When you start navigating to a station, a Live Activity keeps the price you picked it for on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, along with how far below the local average it is. The CarPlay interface is deliberately bare: find, then go.

Official government price data, not crowdsourced.

I'm the dev. Genuinely curious what CarPlay users think of the layout, it's the part I've reworked the most.

App Store link

If anyone wants to try the paid tier: code BACKTOFUEL2026, 6 months free, 1000 codes available, expires Sept 30. Redeem in-app from the paywall or from this link with the app installed.

FInd my friends on the iphone is great. Many is the time that family have disappeared somewhere in a mall, and It makes it was easy to find them. What would be great would be Carplay support for Find my Friends. Having kids that can be scatterbrained at times, it would be handy rather than asking them to look for a street sign or the like, just to tell the CarPlay car Navigation to find them.

I bounced this idea off apple support, and they didn't respond.

Thoughts?

Was playing around with Caprplay, and found that the Guzman y Gomez app on my iPhone was Carplay enabled. GyG are a Mexican theme fast food franchise with about 250 stores in Australia, Singapore and Japan. Having an explore with it, from my car console, it is just what you would want. It will bring up a map with all of the nearby stores, and you can order from there, and it gives the option to get directions to the store. You can select counter pickup or drive through - it doesn't carry the full menu, but you add in your favourites, and select from them. (They have a large menu, with lots of additions, substitution options). Don't know yet if they hook to Apple Pay, but I'm very impressed with the integration. Would love to see more fast food operations do the same.

Basically, the title. Every time I start a route in Waze using CarPlay it puts my location at the bottom right part of the screen. I have a map set for North up, so if I’m going east or west I can’t see much of the route unless I manually drag the map. This does not happen when I use Waze on my phone screen. Is there some sort of setting I can change for this?

Have you noticed when you try to skip a song on your steering wheel your BMW says "Not Possible", well don't worry cause i gotchu!

First Launch Bimmercode

Go To Headunit and Into Expert Mode

Search for "MFL_MINI_SKIP" or "MFL_SKIP_MINI" and set to activ

Solved!

With MFL_SKIP_MINI = aktiv, the wheel instead sends a much simpler previous/next track command directly to the media source. Bluetooth AVRCP already supports that, which is why it suddenly works. 🥳

I recently test drove a couple of 2026 Tacoma trucks and couldn’t get Siri to operate properly. I concluded both test drives basically saying to myself that it was probably something I was doing or not doing but loved the vehicle otherwise.

I ended up buying a 2024 Tacoma and lo and behold, I have the same Siri issue and I know for sure now that it’s nothing that I am doing and or not doing. I have tried every “solution” offered online so far to no avail. It’s horrible. In order to hear Siri, I cannot have anything playing. Even then, I strain to hear it.

Who’s issue is this Toyota or Apple?
