If anyone has wired car play and wants to go to wireless, the adaptors work awesome.

I’ll talk hands free but still haven’t gotten into the habit of voice to text for some reason.

I never use car play and rarely pick up my phone when I drive.

I use hands free for everything through the Ford system. I can use Siri without car play.

It’s really easy, other than sometime Siri might misunderstand a word or two.

I drive a 2017 F150 without Carplay or Android auto. The Bluetooth calling works fine and it will read my text messages ok, but sending a text or trying to call someone with voice commands doesn't seem to work well. My experience is like "call Brandon Jones", the system "ok, calling your ex-girlfriend from 20 years ago"

And 90% of them are female. I see it every day. I think they learned from the Housewives and reality TV.

I have an older truck, but I replaced the stereo with a unit that supports CarPlay and the Android equivalent, backup camera, HD radio, and so on. I love CarPlay and use it phone calls, texts, podcasts/books, weather/radar, and Waze. I will not get another car without it.

My Lexus doesn’t even have it and it still calls my phone an iPod when I plug it in.

For some reason, I can’t get CarPlay to connect to my phone in the wife’s Atlas. I’ve tried to change every setting I can think of, and it’s not happening. Started when I got my iPhone 15

It is incredible how many people I see driving a brand new car and still talk with the phone up to their ear like we had to do 20 years ago.


my 2019 doesn’t have car play, but does have handsfree for phones.

but it SUCKS.
the microphone is terrible so whoever your talking to can’t here what you’re saying.
so i almost always end up having to use my phone on speakerphone instead.
