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

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?

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.

Noticed on CarPlay (not had chance to test without) that the voice guidance can’t seem to pronounce road numbers correctly. For example when saying the A647 it instead says “day six for the seven”, and whenever its meant to says the number 5 it says “fiv” instead.

Ive tried this with 2x British voices and both behave the same, like TTS is a bit messed up.

Anyone else got this?

I’m running 26.6.1 on a 15 PM.

I have a 2024 Honda HR-V Sport with CarPlay and an iPhone 16 Pro Max. About 60% of the time, CarPlay works perfectly fine with no issue. However, every so often I'll start my car and connect to CarPlay and all of my audio is stuck to only the right (passenger side) speaker and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it or what causes it.

I have tried multiple different cables (USB-A to USB-C) and even bought 2 new specific data transfer cables rated for CarPlay. I have tried a wireless adapter for CarPlay but then I lost my media control functionality in my car.

I'm never on a call and my audio balance is evenly set within my phone. Beyond this I cannot find any other relevant information and truly am lost as to why this keeps happening. I was hoping someone had any insight on this but I can't find any information out there anywhere. Any tips or ideas are appreciated, thank you!

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!!!

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.
