Apple Car Play....

Apple Car Play....
I gotta say, I'm glad I didn't have to pay for the Apple Play software. I had it installed last week and I don't think I will even use it. It is slow, unresponsive and seems to jam up frequently, and I have to use the phone to navigate around. Not impressed at all. So glad I didn't pay $400 for it.
Anyone agree? Or disagree? I would like to hear other views.
Thanks.

I mostly use mine to just show Waze maps on the big screen. Works fine that way for me, just have to get used to controls. Spotify seems to be spotty (sorry for the pun), it plays the music fine, but sometimes the libraries doesn't show on Carplay and I have to use the phone to switch.
Messages is pretty crappy, it reads and send fine, but not really good to manage a lot of them.
Haven't tried too much else. But for now, having Waze as navigation is worth it to me. Mine is responsive, it is a 2019 on the latest SW and iOS12 on a iPhone X. Not sure if the head units are different from 2017/2018.

Does Waze use your car gps antenna or the phones when you run it on carplay?
I am going in for an update to get Carplay on my 2018 but right now I have the LR nav on my screen and waze running on my phone. I love waze for traffic , correct ETA, notices about police and things in the road but sometimes it lags a bit on my actual location, especially in the city with a few turns in a row. The car nav is better for that.

Should be in your settings menu. When you press the gear symbol, the screen brightness should be one of the ones onscreen.

Funny you mention that. I’ve just spent 14 hours the last two days in a rental and enjoyed the CarPlay feature better than the native SW. I might be a convert, but I like the “other” aspects of LR touchscreen. Plus, I don’t want a cord hanging out in the car for it to work. If only they would get wireless working...
