hdorre Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 As indicated last week, Apple today announced its CarPlay iOS vehicle integration feature at the Geneva International Motor Show, which allows an iPhone to take over the in-dash display of a car, providing Siri voice controlled access to aspects such as navigation, phone functions, messages, and music. Once a Lightning-enabled iPhone is connected, the feature can be summoned and controlled on compatible cars through Siri voice control, a touchscreen, and on-board buttons. From there, users are able to access various iOS apps such as Maps, Phone, Messages, Podcasts, and Music. Third party apps such as Beats Radio, iHeartRadio, Spotify, and Stitcher are also supported, with Apple promising compatibility with more apps soon. CarPlay will be accessible this week with vehicles from manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, while other manufacturers such as BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota will receive the update later. “CarPlay has been designed from the ground up to provide drivers with an incredible experience using their iPhone in the car,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPhone and iOS Product Marketing. “iPhone users always want their content at their fingertips and CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the car with minimized distraction. We have an amazing lineup of auto partners rolling out CarPlay, and we’re thrilled it will make its debut this week in Geneva.” The feature was originally named iOS in the Car and was revealed last year at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). While Apple executives went on record to say that the functionality was "very important to the company" and is an essential "part of the ecosystem," reports earlier this year stated that CarPlay was plagued by development issues. However, a video of the feature surfaced last month, and showed support for multiple resolutions of external displays, touch input and hardware controls, and voice input. CarPlay will be available as an update to iOS 7 and works with Lighting-enabled iPhones including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and iPhone 5. Thoughts? Opinions? I only have 2 things on my mind.. Why is this only compatible with Apple Devices with a Lightning Port, and why can't they sell this as a standalone unit On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudemaxxx Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 They just wanna charge the hell out of you and turn you into a slave of apple. Same reason they're not open sourced nor do they let you customize anything past your wallpaper lol. Idk why anyone would even want apple products besides wanting to be like everyone else. They're ridiculously over priced and have no features that are enticing enough to switch me over from android. I had one when they were revolutionizing the phone game back in the day, but now, they haven't changed sense then while Google is coming out with new products and updates monthly.

Rudemaxxx Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I don't think there's much easier than the "Easy Mode" on the GS4. I understand what you're saying and I hear that app devs like using the apple software more, but the limited capabilities with the iphone is obserd in my mind. You pay top notch money for a phone where you can't do direct downloads and have to pay a $1.25 if you want to get high quality songs. I also don't like how whenever I use itunes on a PC or use apple compatable programs on my PC i.e. quicktime etc. they always want me to switch my shit to apple. I CONSTANTLY get reminders that I need to "Update my Itunes" when it's up to date automatically and that i need the Apple Bonjour service. It's not as efficient to us an iphone with a pc as it is to use an android based phone on PC. Edit: Indent was weird.
