Originally posted by NeoFuture View Postvery true I do like to use Spotify, except the Spotify on car play is buggy as hell, so... also apparently I might not be a £96 update but a £156 as I need a USB device to update not a "sim" card (ok we all know its an SD card) as its 2016 iintelilink... bleh, well I think ill run standard maps till I have issues, I, not a traveling sales man and have like 3 places I go mainly so its not so much an issue, ive also noticed text messages do not work with iMessage/iphone even if its a text message, so I probably will need to plug in, the issue I have is I have an iPhone 8 plus so It don't fit anywhere nicely l o l (woah that l o l was huge)
Standard messages work great on the Insignia system or can use AA for them. Can also su Google maps and waze, so no need to update car system, which honestly isn't that bad in my eyes.Usual Elite specification;Dancing lights, up/down windows, sliding seats, on board atlas, slippery seats, musical bumpers, storm detectors, tubeless radio, female knight rider communication system, all seeing windscreen, cherry air freshener, auto moaning passengers, learner driver, shiny door pins, rear boom box, Heko smoked window hats, rear window sunglasses, 10 million candle flame reversing lights, matching number plate lights, shiny pedals, front and rear all seeing eyes, fully integrated interrogation system, empty bank account .

You cant really update CarPlay as such other than updating iOS when updates are available. CarPlay is built into iOS rather than being a separate app. That said i have no issues with it at all on my car.
Quick google suggests loads of folk have issues with Spotify on CarPlay and the general assumption is that its the carplay integration within the Spotify app that is pants more than anything else and needs them to sort it. For what its worth i've used Apple Music for ages and its worked flawlessly, to be expected really, and briefly used Amazon Music which worked fine as well.

In terms of CarPlay its part of iOS and apps then have CarPlay compatibility built into the App so they can be displayed on the screen. In the main its audio and navigation apps that its useful for then strangely the Major League Baseball app has it for some reason, i think it must be commentary from games. Last update as part of iOS12 opened it up a bit to other navigation apps so Google Maps and Waze are both now available on CarPlay but to be honest the app makers have made them look bleeding awful so i've stuck with Apple Maps that has done me just fine since i got the car!!

The only reference i can find to holding a button to start CarPlay is on the Apple support pages where it says "press and hold the voice-command button on your steering wheel" but this is only for vehicles that support Wireless carplay and to initially connect it.
The same page does mention that Siri needs to be on to use CarPlay so have you disabled Siri on your phone?

Steering wheel button with AA, press and hold and it activates OK Google, other wise just a press operates insignia voice. Just a note for other AA users, if your phone is plugged in, AA is auto activated on phone but your head unit is showing something else, just say OK Google and head unit will show AA.Usual Elite specification;Dancing lights, up/down windows, sliding seats, on board atlas, slippery seats, musical bumpers, storm detectors, tubeless radio, female knight rider communication system, all seeing windscreen, cherry air freshener, auto moaning passengers, learner driver, shiny door pins, rear boom box, Heko smoked window hats, rear window sunglasses, 10 million candle flame reversing lights, matching number plate lights, shiny pedals, front and rear all seeing eyes, fully integrated interrogation system, empty bank account .

If you are connecting by cable it should just be a case of plug the phone in to the USB port via the iPhone cable, may need to make sure its not a crappy 3rd party cable, and then if it doesnt load automatically on the car you go into settings on the car and where the "Projection" icon was it will now say "Apple CarPlay".
You will need to have the iPhone on the home screen not the lock screen first time i think but if you go to Settings > General > CarPlay > MyVauxhall (if its the same standard name as my car, if not itll be something similar) on your phone you can change that by turning on "Allow CarPlay While Locked". Within that screen on your phone you can also add\remove icons that you want to show on the CarPlay screen and rearrange them. Some standard Apple apps cant be removed though. This is that screen on my phone :-
If you could do a video of whats happening when you plug the cable into your phone in the car i could probably help with what you need to do.
