Do you ever have your nav on heading somewhere and just when the guy on the radio leads up with ā€œā€¦.and the guy saidā€¦ā€ thatā€™s when the nav voice kicks in and your saying to yourself ā€œwhatā€™d he say???ā€ And you say I wish there was a mute button for the nav voice.

Well, by accident I found that mute button. When you have the nav up and running you have a box that tells you how far to your next move. Just tap that box.

The box will shrink to this and now youā€™ve muted the nav voice.

To get the voice back just tap that button again.

Now do you have the fix for when your listening to XM and when the phone it's connected to goes on an app and changes to car play...

If I donā€™t use the nav, I donā€™t use CarPlay. I donā€™t like the format and on my truck I lose the status bar at the top that has the temp and HVAC temp settings for each side.

Here is another CarPlay tip.

Never loan your wifeā€™s car when she is out of town to a buddy in town who then takes it to a strip club.

It sends her a text on where ā€œsheā€ parked her car.

Itā€™s an interesting conversation at dinner when she returns and then goes to dinner with you and your buddy. šŸ‘Æā€ā™€ļø

How about when you switch your call to the iPhone for privacy, and after you end the call the radio remains muted? The only way Iā€™ve found to fix it is starting a new call and switching it back to the vehicle speaker.

Any magical way to turn off the latest update alerts
disbale car ahead
tow truck ahead
etcā€¦.
its fine if you donā€™t drive much, but say going into LA drives me fukin nuts w alerts and if map is on when it alerts. You hit ok, normally back to previous screen, but if maps on it will go black screen. so you have to change screen to home etc and go back to maps. Hate it

you can go into the settings and pick which ones you want. I got tired of everyone reporting cars stopped to find out they were like 40 feet away from the road. People just trying to get points.

So wait, you took yore wife's car to a gay bar and blamed it on a "friend" ? Seems legit.

Apple car play captures all our dually's dash entertainment, Nav and other functions and makes it confusing and distracting to use, if at all.
I wish I could delete it.
Get rid of it.

Heading to Bonita Car Wash for gas. A coupe cents more than Costco, but no lines and itā€™s a top tier gas.
Shop at Kroger/Ralphs/Safeway/Frys and get $1.00 off a gallon at Shell.
A BFD when I fill the Dually.

On real phones, you know Androids running google maps, there is just a little speaker button that is always on the screen for you šŸ˜‚

I use Waze with my CarPlay. My cheap ass Hyundai didn't come with nav. (I was too cheap to get that package)

I think that's a function of Google Maps, not your cheap phone. My iPhone has the same feature when I'm running Google Maps or Apple Maps or Waze. :)
