Dam. Can you link to one of these units? I'm having trouble finding one...


Look at the Pioneer 4500NEX or the Kenwood 906

While I was looking for this, they actually make dongles now to do wireless on your current system.

This one is more expensive, but reviews are the best and there is a $90 one on amazon with so so reviews.

I may get one and try it out. Not sure which yet.

If you do, come back and give a review. I’m interested.

On the multi screen display in Carplay, you can not put anything other than Apple Maps.

Just use the menu button to find Waze or Google Maps

If you would like to use Siri, say "navigate to X using Waze or Google Maps" it will work and pop up.

You can also setup shortcuts on Siri. I use “waze me to work” and it will open Waze and set my work as the destination.

Delete apple maps.

ETA If google maps is the only mapping app on your phone, it will become the default.

Will do, debating the ebay one or the expensive one. May just go with the expensive one since it gets the best reviews.

Don’t get one, it’s garbage. Filed a claim on my credit card because it was nonfunctional and they won’t respond for returns.

Yeah I wanted to tell you but I think you already bought it and was going to try it anyway.

I haven't researched the above units you mentioned, but I first heard about these dongles the other day, and one of the first articles I read on one, I saw that it would only work on Android based OS units that requires some type of software installed to it as well. I drive a '19 Tahoe, and I don't think believe the factory unit runs on Android, so the dongle option was a no-go for me.

I set my Apple Maps to not be able to use any cellular data.

Once I connect the iPhone with the USB cable, Google Maps pops up unless I used Waze last.

Just play around with it and you’ll get it acting right and figure out what to press if another screen pops up.

He's not asking for what app it starts up with, he wants it to display on the new home screen, which I don't think is possible.

So I still have this thing because they won't send me a shipping label to send it back.

Ran across this thread at macrumors

Apparently there is a new update method, I tried that on this one and now it works fine in my truck. I'm a little worried about privacy using this thing though.

Setting gmail as default client and Waze or google maps are a feature coming to future iOS updates. They don’t want to get hit with anti-competitive suits.

ETA: Third party default settings coming in iOS 14

And this will apply to CarPlay I’d assume.
