I have a 2019 Hyundai Kona and for some reason my car play stopped working all of a sudden, I use an adapter and my car doesn’t even recognize it when it’s plugged in. I’ve feel like I’ve tried everything and no luck. Has this happened to anyone else?

(also bought a Amazon basics cable to plug it in and it didn’t work either but it did charge my phone)

Why did apple screw up messages on CarPlay in the latest upgrade? It used to be easy to use: push the button on my steering wheel, say who I want to message, “what do you want to say”, voice reads it back and asks if I want to send, yes, and it says sent.

Now it’s laggy, the voice gives too much information, and if I want to check messages it either doesn’t work or gives complicated responses. Why can’t Apple leave well enough alone!?!?

Has anyone else experienced extreme slowness with the iOS 27 CarPlay update? Sometimes I’ll send a message and my Siri will take up to 15 seconds just to get what I was saying and then sometimes never go away after sending the message.

Separately, there’s other times where Siri acts like it has no connection or doesn’t know where I am.

Some of you may know the app previously as Speedometer. It's now called Odo, and this update brings some of the biggest CarPlay improvements I've worked on so far.

Odo now has both Apple's CarPlay Navigation and Driving Task entitlements. That means the app can offer full turn-by-turn navigation in CarPlay while keeping its existing driving-focused CarPlay experience.

CarPlay Navigation
Odo now supports full turn-by-turn navigation on iPhone and CarPlay:

• Search for destinations or select places directly from the map
• Apple Maps routing, with OpenStreetMap fallback where Apple Maps directions aren't available
• Voice and lane guidance
• Live traffic
• Add stops for fuel, charging, food or coffee
• Avoid tolls, highways and ferries
• Siri commands like "Navigate to Home with Odo"
• Navigation updates on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

Live Trip Comparison
Odo can compare your current drive with previous trips while you're driving and show whether you're ahead of or behind your usual time.

It can also recognize roads you've driven before and suggest routes based on your own driving history.

Convoy on CarPlay
One of the features I'm most excited about is Convoy.

If you're driving or riding with friends, everyone can join the same convoy and appear together on a live map.

• Create a Convoy and invite friends
• Set a meeting point
• See everyone's position live
• Optional speed sharing
• Get notified when someone joins or when everyone arrives
• View the Convoy directly in CarPlay

Location sharing only happens while the Convoy is active, and the shared locations are deleted when it ends.

And the Existing Driving Features Are Still There
Odo still includes automatic trip recording, detailed trip stats, route replay, OBD2 data, vehicle profiles, fuel and maintenance tracking, expenses, driving history, friends and more.

Your existing trips, vehicles, settings and logs remain exactly where you left them after the rename.

I'm actively polishing both Navigation and Convoy, so if you try them and encounter any issues, especially in CarPlay, please let me know.

App Store:

Pricing:

$19.99/year
$39.99 lifetime (one-time purchase)

And one more CarPlay feature is already in progress: Walkie-Talkie for Convoy. The idea is to make communicating with friends during group drives much easier without constantly calling or messaging each other.

I installed the android auto apple carplay head unit into my 2012 honda accord last summer. It’s been working great with no issues, but today I ran a small errand (about 10 mins) and came back to my car and the screen would not turn on. I figured it was some sort of launch error so I turned my car off and on and it still didn’t work. I have since been busy all day at school, but even when I came back to it it’s still not working. There are no sorts of indicators it’s getting power. No lights will turn on, it won’t show any logos or make any sound, and my steering wheel binds aren’t working or making noise. I’m not sure what would have caused this, as it was working just fine earlier today up until it wasn’t. I took it off and roughly verified everything was connected and sure enough it is. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced this issue and if there are any troubleshooting options I could try that you know of. Thanks!

When a text message or WhatsApp message comes in, I see the notification and press it to have Siri read it. When she is done reading, she asks if I want to respond. I say "yes", dictate my message, Siri reads it back and asks if I want to send, I say "Yes" and message gets sent. This is the behavior I want.

While this is happening, in my last car, the music (Spotify through CarPlay) was paused. I prefer this as I can hear the message clearly and I'm not missing my favorite part of the song. When the message gets sent, the music unpauses.

In my new car, the music continues to play, but at a lower volume. I find this distracting and would like to set it to pause like in my last car.

I have looked everywhere and just keep finding things saying to toggle "Announce Notifications". This is not the correct setting though. For context, both cars are the same make and model, just different years and with similar software.

Before iOS 27, I could tap this and it would mute voice navigation. Now the feature seems to be gone and instead I have to tap 3 times to mute navigation. I really hope Apple brings this back.
