Apple Car Play?

[markb1]

I read that Apple is opening up CarPlay to third party nav apps, particularly Google Maps and Waze. This was apparently announced in the WWDC keynote this morning.

So @verdee rated my post “disagree” for what reason?

And now @heinzcatsoup. Care to say what you disagree with?

Well you got to figure anyone wanting to short tsla would think your comment worth down-voting.

Here's Waze confirming that they intend to support CarPlay:

waze on Twitter

We’re excited to initially announce that we will be working to upgrade Waze to work with Apple CarPlay, and will be able to share details on roll-out in the coming months.

I keep an iPad mini in my Model S for Waze and Siri voice messaging.... I absolutely love my car but it is kind of ridiculous.

The crappy news is that waze just dropped all “friend” functionality other that FaceBook friends. Blows completely!!

Yes, this was a terrible decision. I do work for waze as a Senior Beta Tester. So I have contact with the important managers. Many Many folks have complained about this move. It was first described as a GDPR issue, but its possible I can convince them to change this decision.

Man I really hope you can, Spud. I REALLY hope you can.

If anything changes, I will let you know.

Waze for iOS Updated With CarPlay Support
Guess Car Play will not work with Tesla OS

What do you mean? Car Play doesn't work with Tesla OS because Tesla has chosen not to support it.

Don’t worry, we’ll soon be able to play Atari games in our vehicles to make up for it. SOOOO much more useful than CarPlay/Android Auto

Makes me wonder what the Program Manager has been smoking ;-)

It’ll be best to have CarPlay via Bluetooth

I rented a car with CarPlay recently and loved the voice driven text messaging system. One way or another I'd like to have that functionality in my Teslas. I'm personally fine with all other aspects of the Tesla infotainment system.

Yes, I’m in the same boat but I’ve been there since 2015. You only need to use the software once to realize it will be the standard and it’s stupid for tesla to still have nothing. No CarPlay, no mirroring, no messages...why fight it.

Ironically the situation is very similar to the attitude Apple has when it refuses to adopt superior features on Mac due to not-invented-here Swine-mindedness

With Apple market share shrinking, I don't care as now understand why, and I am never going back to that golden cafe prison.
Also; I don't care about Android car anymore, what feature exactly do you miss ?
(Except playing video while driving)?

This is kind of related- In the absence of CarPlay it would be great if Tesla enabled audio play (not video, just audio) through the web browser. This would solve some of the media related restrictions and enable users to access other streaming music services.

The reason this is related to Apple is that someone on Reddit created a web page that enables Apple Music to be played through a web browser.

Here’s a link: Apple Music Player

Would be cool to have this on the otherwise useless web browser playing tunes from my library.

1. SMS integration for safe communication when driving
2. Waze integration. TeslaWaze is useless now due to the dysfunctional browser

Don’t abandon hope! Lately it’s been working for me again.
