iOS 17.4 CarPlay Improvements
Noticed Carplay UI improvements in iOS 17.4. At least while navigating via Apple Maps and using the map data in the instrument cluster, better turn information is presented. Overall nice improvement for me on ID8.

Only on iD8 since iD7 doesn't support the instrument cluster Apple/Google Maps display.

I updated to 17.4 and used the carplay upgrades this weekend. IMO, when you have the screens both on map, the "overall" map is way to far zoomed out to be useful and if that's the map you're showing on the gauge cluster, I don't see a way to zoom it in?

It’s in RC right now and has been since last week, but should be out probably tomorrow for everyone.

My main issue is Maps will still pop up direction notifications on the main screen, since it's not in focus. Also there's no easy way to add or respond to reports since you need to go into the main screen map to do that anyway. I find myself not using it. |

This is all good news, but we need to get on Microsoft to give us some updates to the Teams UI. It’s near impossible to take my important business meetings while on the track

I was soooo looking forward to this update, only to find out it’s only for iDrive 8. I really hope it might become available on 7 too via a future update, but chances are slim.

Apple Map (and only Apple Map) can send some informations in dash even before 17.4 on 7. Maybe some others apps can now send informations on dash with 8. Last edited by Olivenoire; 03-07-2024 at 06:43 AM.. |

This is an enhancement to the *map view* that is only supported on iD8. iD7 can only get direction and turn-by-turn data, this does not affect the functionality on iD7.

So far it’s terrible, the new map is zoomed very far out but more annoyingly it is locked to a north perspective rather than direction of travel.
Makes it very annoying and worse than pre-update |

Like I said, I imagine the point of this is to be able to "switch" the main maps view to your instrument cluster so you can switch apps on the main screen to something else like music. |

I was not a fan of the giant tacked on screen of the iD8 until I had an XM loaner for about a week. God, that huge screen made my iD7 look like an old 3G iphone after getting my car back from the dealer |

Has anyone noticed when the instrument cluster is showing the overview map, at times it'll almost blink - I think its trying to resize/auto zoom itself, but it makes it very distracting when driving.
is there a way to go back to how it was prior to the update and just have a map without the overview? Thanks in advance! |
