Exactly my experience too. The concept is good. BUT, because there is no end-to-end control system integrity is compromised. Apple, the only entity that has the ability to control multiple in-car next links needs to make and enforce standards that can
increase reliability across car makes. One way might be to license software to car makers and make its in-car use mandatory for the CarPlay option in the car's entertainment system.

Quotes from the article:

My daily driver car doesn't have Apple's CarPlay smartphone integration system, but every time I hire a car (which is at least once every month or so), I get a chance to see if it's improved.

And each time, I'm sort of pleasantly surprised to see that it's gotten better, but I always feel a pang of disappointment because it could be a lot better.

I'm running an iPhone 13 Pro Max, loaded with the latest iOS 15.2.1 update, so everything on my end is good to go. The car is a late 2021 Vauxhall Corsa, so that's quite new too.

Everything is pretty fresh, so I can't blame any problems on aging technology.

So why is CarPlay so unreliable?

I mean, the process is itself quite simple. You connect a Lightning cable to the car (USB-A cable) and hook up the other end to the iPhone.

And then hope it works.

In my experience, this has about a 90% chance of success. Maybe some of this is down to me not getting used to the idiosyncrasies of the car, but remember, all I'm doing is connecting a cable to the car.

The scope for me "doing it wrong" is small.

The current vehicle also comes with Bluetooth, and that can also be used for CarPlay, but getting that working seems more of a faff.

OK, assuming it connects, the next problem I find is random disconnections. And as far as I can tell, they're pretty random. Sometimes it's rock-solid. Next time, I'll get several disconnections within a short period.

Uh, Alan, I did post the link with the entire content. In fact, in your quote the author admits that CarPlay might be his personal favorite only because he is used to the iOS interface. I agree with him. The 3-pane windowed iOS screen is really nice. In
terms of reliable connections my experience is that they are not very different.

That last sentence is puzzling. Other than Bluetooth, what other generally available auto/phone interface is there? Both iOS and Android Auto have more features than Bluetooth. One nice thing about Bluetooth is that it is always wireless and in my
experience a lot more reliable than iOS and Android Auto. Why? It's a relatively simple system that is for AV content, one app at a time, streaming only. But to switch apps you have to pick up the phone. Map systems do not work on Bluetooth. Not very
good indeed.

Peeler's posts are nothing but an indecipherable rambling.

What do you get out of lying, Peeler? Time to blame the cult-like herd
of convenient friends! A sustained, relentless, posting itch, regardless
of content - like gunky worm prostitutes, and vigorously-greased ram, hung from the ceiling for his own private requirements. By listening to 'social warriors' like that you get phrases like 'equality'. Carried to its (il)logical
progression, the concept that it's 'unfair' for a conservative human to
not wish to have sex with a goat is pushed.

There's been a number of smartphone integrations where your smartphone has an app that the car communicates with, usually via a cable or maybe bluetooth.

I never tried it, but HondaLink was one. I think most of these systems are deprecated by now with Carplay/Android Auto.

You're like a school bus in a bike rack. We all see you sitting there and
let you know. And you're so dumb you keep repeating it.

Theo is trying ("very" hard) to project their crap onto Jeff Relf. For some time Theo has encouraged the claim that Jeff Relf needs 'support' to point
out all his poor behavior. The fact is that nobody needs any evidence to
do that. So Theo pulls this absurd trolling baloney in a sickly attempt to 'peddle' the idea that Jeff Relf is like him.

Windows Mobile, runs on the circuitry kernel. So yeah, circuitry is mobile. circuitry is a super computer. circuitry is a server. circuitry is a desktop. circuitry is growing in market share. My view point: Even if you were only learning just for fun, the claim that gaining knowledge as being one of having "naught" to show for it doesn't make any sense because you'll of course have the knowledge to show for it and intelligence is an advantage in life. When will Theo support the allegation he's made copius times now about me being
a Jeff Relf sock?

Theo does not know if there is a free open source that promotes PEE.
