Car play question
When I use Apple Maps on car play, the audio directions are very low, all other volumes are fine. I tried turning up volume on phone, that didn't work. Any fix for this?
Thanks

What additional functions/capability are you getting over the 2014/15 models with factory navigation? From what I have seen everything is tied to iPhone via Bluetooth. (My iPhone link gets corrupted over time and I loose functions until I cancel everything and pair again)

My car is a 2016 2LT without factory Nav. I have an I-phone 6 with the Garmin Nav system installed. Yes, the Imap program works with Carplay, but I usually use Bluetooth. I also have a Pro-Clip installed to cradle the phone. Because the Pro-Clip positions my phone perfectly, I don't need a map on the factory monitor. I find it much more convenient to leave everything on Bluetooth and skip the Carplay. The I-phone screen is large enough with the Garmin App that nothing else is needed. Moreover, I have full use of the monitor without the need to change out of the Carplay map. To me, this is the best of both worlds.

IMAP program? Is this wireless or must a USB port be used. I am under the impression that the CarPlay map displays on the center multi function screen, you just don't get the turns on the DIC or heads up display. Trying to decide if CarPlay will provide navigation function I have come to expect with factory nav. That darn PDR ($1,000 for something I don't want) has more than doubled the navigation option cost!

There is definite value to CarPlay. It's just obvious that it is a 1st generation thing and they need to get it more matured. More apps that support CarPlay would be a great start and then supporting BT would help even more. I definitely use it all the time and in regards to the nav, both have distinct upside and downsides. The biggest plus with CarPlay nav is that it is a million times easier to get to places you want to go and new places are on the map at Internet speed vs. new DVD speed. The nav system has the plus of that it works where there is no Internet access! I've hit both the scenarios and was glad I had the other to back me up.
