I'm a Gen1 volt owner that would like to have apple carplay integrated in my car's system, but doesn't want to shell out several hundred bucks for existing workarounds. What I want to try: one can buy an adapter with a cracked apple carplay auth chip for $40 from a company called CarLinKit...

Last night driving home from work, after backing out of my parking spot, when I put it in drive and began driving, the center display was blank. Twice, while stopped at a stoplight, I put the Volt in Park, turned off the power, and opened the driver's side door, but the display would not come...

My iPhone launches CarPlay in my Volt about a third of the time. (The Infotainment screen remains on Projector.) I have to turn on and off the car multiple times until it will finally connects... and often it just won't. I've tried restarting the phone, plugging and unplugging it, replacing the...

Can someone tell me how I check the version of Apple CarPlay installed in my 2019 Volt? Also, how do I upgrade my version of Apple CarPlay?

In my Gen1 volt I had a dashboard mount for my iPhone, and I plugged it into power only, not into the USB connector (I put my music on a USB Flash drive and left that in the car, so my music was always there). With my iPhone mounted up on the dash, signal strength was good. I'm now driving a...

Please follow Tesla's lead and offer over the air software updates. I'd REALLY like it if I woke up one morning and Apple CarPlay appeared on my 2013 or 2015 Volt.

Apple's Live Event happening now. Two very minor updates to CarPlay shows just how much Apple doesn't care about the platform. - Music suggestions in the Music App. Don't care. - Nearby places in Apple Maps. Don't care.

I started a thread on all of the problems I was having with Apple CarPlay ("My 2016 and Apple CarPlay") that stimulated quite a bit of discussion and a number of suggestions. One suggestion led to what I believe is the solution, the "smoking gun" for at least my Apple CarPlay problems: turn off...

Hi Folks, It's an expensive option and wonder how much better than "Maps" in CarPlay is the Navigation? I know Maps is pretty sad and a bad Apple. Some of what I am hoping to learn is if it can synch with an iPhone's contacts; how well it responds to voice requests, user friendliness, updates...

CTV News in Ottawa, Canada, did a short story on today's connected cars this past Monday on the morning show, and used a live 2016 Volt for the story. No driving, and barely any shots inside, but still mildly interesting. ottawa.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=709034 Looks like a Premium, given the...

Hello everyone It would be great if the community could reach out to Chevy on their social media and any other avenues to push for Carplay (and the Andriod equivalent) to be added to 2014+ model years! It might even be able to be added to older models but I'm not 100% sure. This additions...
