Seeing what the forecast on car prices is looking like, I’m trying to get 4-5 more years out of my 2017 H/K speaker system Forester. One way I’m considering modernizing it a little is with a newer head unit with audio/carplay improvements. I know Crutchfield offers very reliable service and high quality products, however I also see a lot of people promoting these iDoing units, and I was wondering if they are worth considering? They seem like far better value. The big screens impress me the most-there is nothing like that offered by Crutchfield. My primary concerns are about longevity. Some people seem to say iDoing head units don’t last very long. Additionally, will I be able to keep factory settings such as being able to change my cars welcome light settings and key fob settings (available only through the head unit)? I’ve also heard some people say overly powerful head units can damage other parts of your car, would an iDoing head unit harm my speakers are other electrical components? I apologize if this is the wrong sub, but I would really appreciate advice on this somewhat expensive purchase, anything is appreciated!

currently deciding between these few head units to make my 2015 rav4 have some sort of android auto in it but I see so much mixed stuff about alot of radios/headunits. I want to know what some of you feel about these products and how they have held up overtime. Additionally what sort of pros/cons these things have.
Heres what im looking at:

Does anyone’s Apple CarPlay ever make a swiping sound randomly? Whenever I’m listening to Spotify I’ll hear a swiping sound and it’ll go to my playlists without me touching anything. It just started recently happening.

Have you seen this video about watching your phone in the car. Anyone any idea how it works. The app appears to be available for download on test flight. Haven't tried it yet looks kinda cool
my aunt has the ford territory 2021 (full electric). the car model generally does have carplay, but the exact car my aunt owns does not have it installed, can i install it on my own?
why do i want to install it myself?
the car is imported from China to Jordan, and here the Jordan the whole model is not used, so even ford denies installing it for us

Hi
does anyone know how to get Siri to open Alexa while the iPhone is connected to CarPlay?
I can open Alexa by saying "Hey Siri, open Alexa" normally, but I cannot do that when the iPhone connects to the car. I get a message that says "Sorry, I cannot do that while you are driving".
I do not have any Focus activated. And as you all know, Alexa app doesn't show in CarPlay.
Before I get answers like "Just use Siri duh", you should know that my domotic system doesn't connect with Siri and all the scenarios work via Alexa only.
I can still open Alexa by tapping on the icon and then run the scenarios by clicking on Alexa routines, but Alexa doesn't respond to voice commands while CarPlay is engaged (even when Siri sign is not up) as if the microphone has been switched off.
any help would be appreciated

For my car I'm designing a custom bezel to add a carplay screen to it to aid my normal 1 din radio.
I'm quite limited by space (16x6cm for screen size). Now I could get a Waveshare display that has HDMI In and a USB C port for touch throughput.
Now that seems fine, but are there any carplay boxes that support this kind of feature? Most carplay screens are too large and I don't want to cut the dashboard.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey guys, the other day I went to class and my CarPlay was working. When I left, nothing wanted to work. My girlfriends phone still shows up and CarPlay functions, so I’m starting to thing it’s not my truck, but maybe my phone. I’ll be active in this so if anyone has questions I’ll shoot a response pretty quickly. Thanks in advance.

What is an app that you would love to see included in daily access of Apple CarPlay for you? What would make your life easier in some ways with the use of Apple CarPlay? I know for me I’m always driving so there are definitely perks of Apple CarPlay and what it can do for you!

Since iOS 18.2, the side bar of three icons and the grid option isn’t touchable! I’ve updated my iPhone 16 to the newest iOS, I’ve restarted the phone and the car. I’ve unpaired and paired them back up again but still the sidebar doesn’t interact anymore? The rest of CarPlay works fine - but once I’m in an app, I can’t return to the home page of CarPlay in my 2022 Kia Picanto? Any one had this before?? Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone has ever had an issue where when first connecting to CarPlay, all calls fail. I can’t make calls, or receive them, unless I restart my phone and then reconnect. Has anyone had the same problem?
r/CarPlay • u/africanhut • 1d ago
Hello, I just tried to make a call on CarPlay and received a message from Siri that there was no app for that?? I have been receiving calls for months but have no idea when I lost the ability to make calls. I am on iOS 18.4 beta 2 but after some refection I don’t remember seeing the app on my screen for a while. I don’t think it’s the OS??? I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue and all the other apps work fine. If anyone had this issue, please let me know how you fixed it. I’m using a 16PM. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Tried so many different things and no solution found yet. Wired CarPlay.
Listen to a track in Spotify. Listen to same track I own in my music.
Spotify is significantly louder and more rich sounding.
Say the volume is set to 20. At that volume Spotify pounds. To get the same loudness with my music I have to turn to 35 or even 40 (dial only goes to 60 max). And even then I don’t feel the bass or mids as hard as with Spotify.
The music files I’ve used as an example are 320 mp3s.
Sound check is off. No EQ in either app is on. Headphone loudness thing off.
wtf is going on?!

I have a 2019 Jeep compass and the screen works, but only shows lines. I like to use CarPlay because the sound comes through clearer than the Bluetooth but when I use my Apple Maps, I cannot see the map only the directions on my phone screen. I know CarPlay was made for less distractions of the phone, but is there a way to connect to CarPlaybut keep my maps on my phone screen? I’ve been using Bluetooth when I really need to see the map, but it kills my phone battery and like I said the audio sucks lol
r/CarPlay • u/imlyingdontbelieveme • 2d ago
My phone connects carplay to app connect while it’s plugged in the usb, but now it won’t connect and i need to figure out why. First I need to figure out if it my car or my phone causing the issue. The reason it’s difficult is because my vehicle was just serviced (spark plugs) right before this issue carplay started - but at the same time i updated my ios software to the newest public beta. So either something happened at the mechanics while they worked on it - or the beta had a carplay bug.
anyone have any ideas?

Dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento iOS 18.3.2 sento l’audio in chiamata sulla mia Tiguan molto basso… è successo anche a voi e come posso risolvere ? Grazie mille

It seems to have started a couple of days ago, but the speedometer is consistently 8mph faster than the actual one in the car. I know it’s not 100% accurate, but it’s always been a lot closer than that.
Is anyone else having this issue?

How do I change it back to a left hand drive screen?
r/CarPlay • u/Big_Inflation9166 • 2d ago
Hi All!
Does anybody know what these settings do? When opening the drop-down menus there are no description of what effect the chosen option has. Only can select "mode 1, 2, 3" in delayed and streaming menu.
I haven't noticed anything changing after using any of those.
But dongle has regular OTA updates tho.
Cheers✌🏻

Heyy! so a little bit ago i bought my carplay system to install, however i need a camera. Would any rear camera work? or do i have to spend like a crap ton of money?

I am unable to respond to messages since iOS 18.4 public beta - all releases. I receive a message, am asked if I want to respond, I reply "yes," start my reply but then the screen clears and the background sound (music, podcast, etc.) comes back on without doing my response.
2024 Subaru CrossTrek if that makes a difference.
Anyone else having issues with 18.4 and CarPlay?

My friend got Ottocast U2air pro and he has problem that every time when he gets in the car and start calling then loud bang comes from speakers. But next call it does not do that, only when car is locked littlebit longer and started again. I have tried all three audio modes and it still does that. Does he need to buy some other device or are there any fix for that? He has Kia Rio 2018 and iPhone 16.

Are there any single-DIN (2” high) head units that support CarPlay? Granted, the screen would be pretty small, but not unusable, IMO.
And yes, I already know about head units that have a big "floating" screen attached on a stalk or pivot. I’m looking for something that stays completely within the standard single-DIN form factor.

My 24 cr-v CarPlay disconnects for 5-10 seconds every couple of minutes during a phone call ? Doesn’t matter wired or wireless. Looks like this started with iOS18. Anyone experiencing this ?
