  2. For all the people wanting CarPlay... GM is dropping it

    Meanwhile, Porsche and Aston Martin are the first companies to implement carplay 2: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46188510/apple-carplay-next-gen-interface/ https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/20/first-next-generation-carplay-vehicles-announced/
  3. It's Official: Rivian acquires ABRP. Deal closed in Q1

    They can communicate with the car if the car maker supports it.
  4. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    Ha. I'm pretty stubborn. I've never owned a car with an automatic transmission or turbo, both of which are much harder to avoid than no CarPlay. My current EV (which is not automatic-- single speed means no shifting) has carplay. If it turns out no EVs have CarPlay (seems unlikely), I'll just...
  5. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    Lack of CarPlay is why I do not have a Tesla or Rivian, and I won't own either of them until they reverse course on that.
  6. Rivian maps are the worst if there is any traffic

    One of many problems that would be solved by CarPlay (lack of CarPlay being the reason I won't buy a Rivian, unless they reverse course).
  7. Carplay? Next?

    The underlying problem is that nobody wants to be forced to pay again for a worse version (when equivalent functionality even exists) of something they're already paying for. It's customer hostile by Rivian. Even if Rivian got to the point where their offering wasn't significantly worse and...

    I will be buying an EV pickup truck, so I should be in the arena :P
  10. Carplay? Next?

    It's really not hard to say-- I can't think of anything they could offer that would make me want to pay monthly. It only makes me not want their vehicle. I especially don't want to pay monthly for data, as I'm already paying monthly for that (my phone). Charging me again for a worse version of...

    Marginal cost of carplay is ~$0.00, so you're functionally paying for it already, too.
  12. Carplay? Next?

    So why do they include air conditioning for free? Naive to expect them to offer it for free, especially if it's as important to so many people. Given that, either everyone pays more for a Rivian, or they could split it off as a premium subscription.
  13. Carplay? Next?

    $0 per month- exactly the same as what Apple charges car makers to support carplay. And, the same as what it costs in a Civic/Corolla/every other car. A large part of why I want carplay is to avoid monthly services. I have 7 cars. Paying a monthly fee for each is a non starter. I have one...

    I mean, only one way to find out-- run a poll and ask what phone people use. I own/run NAM3forum.net (a forum for BMW M3s). iPhones access the site 11x more often than other phones. It's a cheaper car, so I'd expect a bigger spread here.

    No, I'm saying Apple's marketshare goes up with wealth. e.g. business insider: Given that apple's overall smartphone marketshare is ~60%, pretty save to say that trend continues up curve. or https://www.fiercewireless.com/developer/report-ios-app-users-are-often-richer-than-android-users...

    You can run CarPlay as an app within android. “CarPlay” is just basically a remote display/touch interface, with everything actually running on the phone. CarPlay apps for android just turn the android device into a remote iPhone display. This is the exactly how I run wireless CarPlay in my...

    Sucks to have to plug in, when CarPlay can do lossless wirelessly…
  18. Carplay? Next?

    I wouldn't expect them to open up an Android VM, because then your could run a carplay app in that VM :rolleyes:
  19. Carplay? Next?

    They said they expect to make an average of $16,000 in post sale subscription revenue per truck sold-- so no small percent. Also, you can certainly have differentiated carplay, especially if you have a lot of, or large, screens. Carplay in a Civic looks like this: But carplay can fill all...
