Discussion Why does the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC have such an awful CarPlay implementation? Just compare this crap to a BMW iX3 or a Cadillac Lyriq

CarPlay + CD player

0 Upvotes

I have a 2014 ford fiesta with a built in CD player. I have Bluetooth that only works for calling. I’m completely obsessed with my CD player as I own many CDs, but I would love to have Bluetooth/CarPlay aswell. If anyone knows any systems I can purchase/install that still allows me to use both systems, please help a guy out!!!

Question iPhone won’t connect to internet while connected to Hyundai CarPlay

2 Upvotes

The title says it all. Almost. The problem began after I update the iPhone to iOS 26.6.1. It connects to Hyundai Bluetooth, but no longer connects to internet until I disconnect from Bluetooth. Who else has this problem and have you resolved it?

I’m looking for a CarPlay screen to replace the factory navigation screen. I’m trying to keep it simple, plug and play, and the same size as the factory screen (not a Tesla screen). Also need one with a backup camera. I have attached my current setup.

Better EV route planning for CarPlay

Post image

I built the 100% free App CurrentDrive because I like using Apple Maps and CarPlay, but found myself missing better EV trip planning.

It works as an add-on to Apple Maps: you enter your destination and choose what kind of charging stops you want, for example, fast charger from a certain network + toilet/restaurant.

CurrentDrive plans the charging stops and then sends the complete route to Apple Maps using multi-stop routing. From there, Apple Maps handles the actual navigation. Everything is CarPlay first. There’s also a 10–80% charging mode if you want to plan around that.

I built it mostly for myself because I didn’t want to switch to a separate navigation app just for EV trip planning. It’s completely free: no subscription, IAP, or trial, and no data collection

Mazda - Cx5 - Apple Carplay

2 Upvotes

Apple CarPlay on my 2022 Mazda CX-5 Signature trim would not recognize my iPhone 15 and vice versa. I tried every cable I had, every reset option on both the car and the phone. I spoke with Apple and my phone cellular provider. It was a cable issue. The cable that came with phone is USB-C to USB-C. The car does not have USB-C port. I tried USB-A to USB-C cable that may have been Apple OEM with no luck. Finally, I found an adapter (USB-A male to USB-C female) and was immediately prompted to enable CarPlay. This after months, days, hours of searching for a solution to connect my phone to my car's CarPlay. I hope this helps someone.
