Covid put a stop to CarPlay installation last year but I am now booked in at Aston Installations for fitting in a couple of weeks. Good news is the delay has given AI time to get the new HD screen ready so having that done as part of the install also. No more Tom Tom stuck on the screen for me (which I cannot reach from the drivers seat 😀)
Anyone else have the AI CarPlay - any tips on getting the best out of it?
Which navigation app to you find is the best?

Don't forget to let us know how you get on.
I am going to Aston Installations tomorrow to have CarPlay fitted. Google maps says 133 miles 2hrs 35 mins. For the same journey the Aston nav says 233 miles and 55 minutes 🤣. Confirmation of need for CarPlay
Yes, my main cars has touch screen. Not sure how it would work without. Might be a strange experience.
I have had the Aston installations CarPlay setup for a couple of years. It works very well given the limitation of the OE screen. I use mostly Sygic or Waze navigation. The interface Is a little different to the touch screen that I use in other vehicles and does take a few minutes to become reacquainted with.
The telephone and music integration is very good although the mic does seem to pick up some em interference/noise occasionally. James and Lenny are excellent and I could not find fault with them.
