Smart car is dumb, but an in-dash screen that mirrors my smartphone is something I could absolutely get behind. Hoping eventually we can do some Tony Stark type poo poo where I gesture on my phone and the image quickly pops up on the screen.

CarPlay isn't quite Tony Stark, but it is cool. Conceptually it's a second springboard with car-specific apps available. The big downsides to it are you have to plug your phone in and the apps that can use it are somewhat limited.

The only thing I could ever want or care to see on my car is Waze. Waze is life.

Cars have been "smart" for a while now, or at least, ultimately controlled by computers. I tune my ricer fast & furious car with software via a dongle that plugs into the OBDII port, and even though it's a 2007, drat near everything mechanical is controlled by the ECU. Volume of air in the intake is sent to the ECU to determine how much fuel to deliver to the injectors, which are also computer-controlled, a sensor in the catalytic converter determines if emissions are in check and will retard the injectors if they aren't, the gas pedal is totally digital, as is the steering, etc. All of the feedback (e.g. hitting a pothole, pedal resistance when depressed) is fake. The tachometer isn't even mechanically connected to the engine; the needle moves based on realtime estimates. Newer cars don't even have a physical gauge cluster anymore, because they just don't need it.

"Shortest" instead of "Fastest" under Navigation in Waze's settings will take care of most of the ultimately dumb reroutes that Waze will do.

Meanwhile I'm still relatively slumming it with wired iPod integration and a Tune2Air for Bluetooth (which also passes over metadata and controls and stuff like a direct connection, I think there's cheaper knockoffs nowadays). And I usually plug my phone into power anyways cause the battery is kinda jacked up.

Just chiming in to say that I love Waze a lot and everybody should try it. It changes driving. Not to mention it has network effects which benefit from more people using Waze.

To be useful it also requires people to press buttons on their phone while driving so that's kind of stupid, I don't care how streamlined their interface claims to be.

Waze is great and all and I use it a lot but holy gently caress does it ask you to do some stupid poo poo to save 2 min off your drive time. "cross Wilshire Blvd at 5pm at a place with no traffic light" Waze is great but you really have to know the area you are in sometimes and make judgement calls as to if its worth the time you save or not. Most days I'd rather spend the 10 extra min on the freeway then try and save it by making 800 turns on city streets.

I took my Chevy to the dealer last week because it's not working well with my iphone suddenly. Come to find out it's a known issue that can crop up and there was an update. They spent 4 hours trying to upgrade the software and ultimately could not. Then they asked me to pay them one hundred dollars. gently caress this poo poo.

I always thought it was dumb that iPhones didn't mimic car play on the screen. I use a CD player mount and it would be awesome if I could get that right on my phone in my wife's 2011 car with a regular old radio.

I got that AVH 4000NEX unit and while a bit sluggish, buggy sometimes, and not the best screen, it works pretty great I'm not sure why you'd want wireless carplay  I guess for short trips?

Well, yeah. Any trip of less than an hour or two, especially if you're not using nav, doesn't really require external power so why pull your phone out if you don't have to?

I don't know whether you've used Waze recently but it absolutely sips battery now. It used to be way more of a hog than Apple Maps / Google Maps, now it's probably less than either. Apple Maps being able to do nav with the screen locked is probably better still for battery life, though.

I have a 2015 Honda Fit and the Bluetooth metadata downloading is weird (for example: I use Spotify, but the artist/album/song title will just show up as "No Title" unless I open up Music.app first, play that, pause it, THEN play Spotify and then Spotify's metadata will show up on the dash) and it doesn't do navigation unless you buy a $60 app which is apparently dogshit, so I got a CarPlay unit and all the stuff to install it thinking that would take care of my issues. I took it to get it installed and the guys were like "You know CarPlay only really works with Siri, right? And it doesn't work with Waze." I'm an Uber driver, so the main reason I got the CarPlay unit was to have my iPhone mirrored on the dash so I wouldn't have to look down at my phone on trips. But apparently CarPlay can't actually do that? So it's totally worthless to me and the guys told me I should just return the unit if I can, which I did. Then I sucked it up and went and bought a dash mount for my phone, so now that's what I'm rocking

User input is only supplementary to it's traffic model and only really needs to happen to identify flash jams / accident sites etc.

No way to pause music--spotify--when GPS voice queues? That's an option before, right? Or only for audio books?

Haven't been able to google this. Can you choose from the images taken as a live photo and extract just that one as a still image? "Extract as still image" seems to just take the last image of the set.

"Extract as still image" seems to just take the last image of the set. If you plug it into a computer you will be able to get the "movie" file that is the Live Photo, then scrub to the frame you want and extract it. Presumably there's an app for that but I don't know of it.
