No you have to choose. Either on your phone or on the infotainment system. CarPlay/Android Auto mirrors the app on your phone onto the display. So if your using it on one it can't be displayed on the other because it's literally the same app...

I found out this weekend that while using Android Auto (maybe CarPlay as well) if you rotate the right radio knob it will zoom the map in and out.

Discovered this today.... if you press on the skinny pedal on the right, you can find Ford F-150's in the rear view mirror...   They just appear there... its like magic!

The new iOS 13 Car play Update no longer directly mirrors your phone. You can open what ever app you want on your phone.. text, open maps, etc all while waze is still on the infotainment.

I can do the same on Android. But what I'm saying is Waze either needs to be displayed on the infotainment system or your phone. It can't be on both doing different things because car play and Android Auto are pulling the app data from the app on your phone.

 

He wasn't asking if you could use different apps on your phone while using Waze. He was saying you can't use Waze on your phone while Waze if being displayed on the infotainment system and that's correct.

Not sure if this has been reported in this thread or not, but today I realized that my RST will turn on the headlamps for rainy driving when the wipers are activated to a certain level and consistency of use. 
 

This is not turning the usual headlights on, as when I’m plugged into CarPlay, the headlights are on, but my dash lights don’t dim. (This CarPlay doesn’t go to dark mode)

 

Pretty nice feature! This way I don’t have to constantly adjust my dash lights brighter when it’s raining.

I noticed also on my RST I can not dim or brighten my interior lighting when I press the + - on the light controls..

So, if I understand correctly. If you use WAZE as an app on your Apple phone, you could NOT display it on the infotainment screen while the car was in motion? 

It doesn’t talk to the car systems at all. Just displays it on the Center console screen.

Here is another good one that a lot of people probably don’t know.

 

Google assistant (and Alexa) can talk to GMC and you can remote start your truck with your voice. You have to audibly say your PIN which is a bit annoying but pretty slick overall.

I knew Alexa could but not Google Assistant...

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL and adaptive braking! Holy shit, it's amazing... finally.

Yes, but not so amazing on the 2019s   ?

Cant believe the love for acc, i wouldnt want it

How do you not like it? Got it on my wife’s van and drove a few other cars with it. Best thing ever for a road trip. It would make my morning commute so much better, I could just leave cruise on the whole way.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
