Apple updated its iOS on Thursday and with that came a significant CarPlay update
I was never a big fan of CarPlay, but this update may have me becoming a believer. Overall the interface is much cleaner and nearly OEM quality of app integration
below are some pics. Given are large screens on our A6/7/8 the split screen option is really nice. Some Apps like Google Maps haven’t been updated yet to take advantage of this, but probably will in the future
I had been running the Public Beta of 13 for about a month before the official version got released and I agree that it offers an improvement for the Audi over iOS 12. With the previous version, I would occasionally have the phone kind of freeze up when using wireless Carplay. Hasn't happened once yet with 13.
One other big improvement is that the Carplay screen no longer has to mirror the phone when you are switching between Carplay apps . Before, if you started playing some music and that was showing on the Carplay screen and then you went to check messages, the Carplay screen would switch over to the message app. Used to bug the heck out of my kid when he was "DJing" for us. Now Carplay can show one Carplay-enabled app while you use another on your phone. I no longer get to see a quick shot of who's been texting him. Bummer.
