Hey guys! Since recording this video, Apple released Beta 2 of iOS 18.

The only change that I could see was on the bottom right icon (to switch between the split screen view and the main home screen with all of the icons). There's a way to go yet till September so I'll keep you updated if there are any changes!

All we want is a full screen update on previous mbux systems 😂

I picked up my new EQB 300 on Monday and I’m loving it, just wanted to say thanks for all your videos. You definitely helped me make the right choice.

come on apple! let us watch videos when we are NOT driving.

As mentioned in another comment, I wanted to also thank your for your videos, they have been a great help. I received my EQB 250 a few weeks ago and have been watching loads of your videos.(went for this over the 350 for that little bit more range). As for latest CarPlay seems, does not look that much different at all.

Thanks for the video! Hopefully these updates apply to all Apple CarPlay vehicles and not dependent on which version of MBUX you have…

Looking forward to this update. Not going to be trialling it on my personal phone. But looking forward to it being wireless with a certain adapter. I’m sure you know what I mean 😉. Which btw is still going strong 👌🏼

Great video as always Nick. Hope you’re doing well.

Thank you great info, yes any EV features would be very welcome as I drive a Genesis GV60 also a weather app would also be very nice.

Apple may hold on to new wallpapers for September release, or for RC (Release Candidate) versions of the beta builds, lets keep hoping!
Otherwise I fully agree with the feature you mention, dark mode icons (at least, i could go without the tint) should be available in CarPlay as well.

Thanks for this video. I have lost my iMessages app on CarPlay. How can I get it back? It is not in the settings menu either.

im running it on my main iphone 13 and its fine for the most part. worst thing I have encountered is massive thermal throttling when connected to car play, yt PIP while scrolling through safari. dev reboot (quickly press volume up then down, then press and hold the power button until it turns off and then shows the apple logo) fixed it and was back to normal. there does seem to be some sort of ram management issue happening but its not terrible to deal with.

[lautrufend]

Is there an easy way to adjust the volume of notifications in CarPlay? I find them to be startlingly loud on my Mercedes, even when music or audio is low. The only way I’ve figured it out is to turn down all notifications on my phone itself, or silencing it like you mention in the video, but it seems that I shouldn’t have to do that.

Hi how do we get the same wide screen apple carplay as what you have here? Driving a 2020 V177

[abdoelaghil]

I have just bought my GLA 250e facelift, and i am in love with the car. To be honest, if it was up to me I would have given you shares in Mercedes. You are doing a great job. When I picked up my car I told the salesman you don't need to explain anything, Nick explained everything.

[rosiefish]

I can see how to show the Speed Limit on Apple Maps but I cannot get it to warn me if I exceed it, unless I am missing something. That would be a really nice feature. For that need I use Waze but I find it difficult to make Waze the default navigation app - is that possible?

[kenchristmas]

As a diabetic who wears a CGM (Constant Glucose Monitor) which is integrated to my iphone via the manufacturer's app, it would be nice to be able to see this app displayed on my Apple Car Play without having to add multiple apps to talk to each other - and then, MAYBE, display readings on the Apple Car Play screen. I mostly use Apple Car Play while riding on my Goldwing motorcycle, and from a safety standpoint, it would be nice to get the CGM alerts/readings on the screen. Has anyone else mentioned this issue?

[besottedferrarista]

Hey Nick,
Would next gen carplay taking over the cars display of speed, rpm, etc work without a mobile network connection?
I don’t know about the UK but in Australia even the major highways & expressways have mobile blackspots where there’s no reception.
I don’t think “sorry officer I didn’t know I was speeding cause I had no reception” is gonna cut it 😅

[freddieffred]

Great video!
Is there any dashcam improvements for new cars with NTG 7? Does it auto start now?

[HonStuartK]

I would be interested in having CarPlay take over the instrument cluster *if* I could alter the fonts, gauges displayed, and their position, etc. Just having Apple’s interface vs the manufacturer’s one just changes one esthetic for another.

The one thing I would 100% want to see is to use the nav program I’m using on my iPhone integrated. I wave a BMW with the heads up display, which I absolutely love. But if I go into CarPlay and use Apple Maps or Waze, etc, I then lose the heads up, so I don’t use them anywhere as much as I would otherwise.

Hi Nick. Thank you for your videos. I have a question. Why does Mercedes not have wireless apple carplay compatibility?
