CarPlay Impressions

[Mattlock]

Can you tell me more about the DAB+ you mentioned? Thanks

Yeah, my understanding is that the 8" version of the Discovery head unit is DAB+ so a full digital radio, whereas the standard 6" unit is good old fashioned analogue.

However, in addition to fitting the new head unit you have to also upgrade the aerial plus get the Dealer to unlock the encryption or it won't work.

The missing piece, as it's always been, is Google Maps support. It needs to happen!

I have a Nexus 7 tablet that i use for dev qa work occasionally, so i decided to see how good android auto is - it was a bit fiddly to get it to work on an unsupported device, but i got it working in the end.

I was so impressed with gmaps in the car i ordered a nexus 5x just to leave in the car with a data sim and i'll also put igo in it for out of town driving.

This is what it looks like... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCBr3G4YKvk

Now that lane guidance has started working, the only thing left is for integration into the instrument cluster.

Crazy this isn't implemented yet. Anyone with any info on why or when please share!

AppConnect is taking much longer to connect to the phone (IPhone 6S) over the last week or so.

It may be since the IOS 10.1.1 update, but not sure..

Anyone else getting this?

Agreed, it's getting worse...

Yeah, it probably is but I hardly notice it as usually I'm manoeuvring and using the sensors so by the time the sensors turn off, it's up and running.

I'm due my first service this week so I will push the dealer on software updates.

I'm talking over a minute. Closer to 2 minutes before phone connects.

I've randomly quickened the process by going into the phone & opening Apps, but unsure of how at this stage.....

Oh, OK. I've not noticed it taking that long.

I'm on the latest iOS build using a brand new SE.

I'm due for my first service early in the new year, but am in two minds about the software update for the MIB2 after reading about the instability issues following the update. Does anyone know what the current version is and if they have addressed the problems reported after the updates?
