Has anybody heard/read anything about support for wireless Carplay in the 2016's? Im aware they don't currently support it and require a USB cable, but as of iOS 9, wireless Carplay is supported by Apple. Anyone know when GM will jump on board? It seems VW already has (http://9to5mac.com/2016/01/08/vw-wireless-carplay/)

 

This would make wireless charging (with a case, or if the iPhone 7 includes it) a lot more usable since wireless charging is pointless if you have the phone plugged in for Carplay.

How about Apple letting us use google maps. That would be super. I don't think the people at Apple even use their own maps.

It's more Google will probably not allow Apple to use Google maps thru their Carplay app. If you developed a competing product, why would you help your competitor improve theirs?

 

I know the majority of folks seem to think that Apple's products are the best. Their hardware is great, but iOS doesn't come close to the pure Android (Nexus line) experience. I have both a Nexus 6P and an iPhone (for work), and the iphone is a joke compared to my Nexus.

 

I have not tried out Carplay yet, but am VERY happy with the Android Auto so far in my Silverado...

GM runs several years behind. I would not expect this until the next generation in about 2 years from now.

 

Agreed on most technology fronts, but in regards to Carplay GM has actually been one of the front runners as far as car manufacturers go.

Apple CarPlay is flawless, we tried using my buddy's Galaxy S7 For Android Play and lag time was awful. To each their own between iOS and Android, But our company over the last 2 years converted around 1000 Androids to iPhones because Android wasn't very stable and secure for our line of work, IT tried with a few different Android Brands but none touched iPhone reliability.

X3 on that. We have a little over 150+ roofers and waterproofers - all are on iPhones because of past problems with Androids.

Just curious, but was that really that important that it made you want to revive a thread thats over a year old?

My Cadillac Escalade has wireless car play and it works great.

I noticed the sound quality is a lot better when plugged in playing music through Android auto vs playing it through bluetooth, a huge amount better. So if you use Apple car play for music you might not want to do it wireless.

I do question the legitimacy of that claim somewhat. We have a 2017 VW at work and it acts exactly the same as the GM integration and every other brand I've seen.

OEMs don't have that much control over CarPlay integration. Updates to CarPlay derive from the iOS updates on the phone. Making the jump to wireless CarPlay might take new hardware but your bias against GM is unfounded in this instance.

90% of the problems I see at work are with Apple products. Whether it's GM or Apple I don't know and frankly don't care.

I just see Iphone issues.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
