Lovin' my CarPlay in my 2018 Acura A-SPEC Still Night Pearl/REDView attachment 122360
just wish Waze was available
apple maps is generally ok, but Waze is more detailed, & specific
2012 honda accord here. Considering a new head unit with Carplay but haven't decided yet.
Hyundai owner here. But contrary to majority of you I really HATE CarPlay, one of the worst services Apple has ever made.
Care to elaborate?
Hey all! Recently had a CarPlay compatible CarPlay deck installed in my truck... wondering if there are any others around here (looks like it!) that have vast CarPlay experience? Would love to talk more about it and perhaps start up some really helpful guides and tutorials!
I'm sure there are common problems and tips we can offer... just searching for some CarPlay users here. If that's you, raise your hand!
I have a Kenwood Navigation head in my X5 and use carplay on my iPhone 6s. I have had frequent disconnects with a message on the Kenwood saying "Standby" and have to disconnect and then reconnect the cable to fix the issue. I have replaced the cable & am using an Apple cable but the problem persists. I have not updated the Kenwood firmware BUT as my iphone has updatd the problem has gotten worse & worse. Finally today the Carplay icon disappeared from the Kenwood & I can not get it back. My iphone is up to 11. When Carplay works I love it but these disconnects & the problem I have today make me want to throw both away...

Have a Kenwood in my truck too (DNX693S) and I get similar issues every now and then (disconnect and goes to standby but then reconnects automatically). I believe mine is updated to the latest firmware, but even that isn't that new, I think it is dated 7/17.
I'm hoping they have another update, but sadly I'm not holding my breath. Not exactly the kind of support you would hope for when shelling out hundreds of $ for a car stereo. The customer service is pretty responsive if you have questions though, so I might ask about any further updates.
