Ron Slater nice! Congrats on your new ride, the C7s are sweet!!

I just picked up a 2019 grand sport yesterday. That's why I am here 😎😭

Hi Dennis, I’m so sorry I never saw your question! If you haven’t already tried it, music and maps works really well together. I tend to use a music app and maps (Waze usually for me) at the same time and music as well as guidance seem to function cohesively. And surprisingly, even the radio and Apple CarPlay audio (from navigation) can function at the same time which is convenient so you don’t have to keep switching back and forth. Hope you had a fun trip!

Kerry Little thanks Kerry, glad to hear that I was able to help! Yeah, a lot of people are pretty unfamiliar still with CarPlay so I figured it would be good to do a little overview! Also, congrats on your new car! We’re twins haha, my current C7 is a Z51!

1Brain4Wheels Thank you. I’m still trying to figure how the PDR works. I put in a SD card but the car says no card installed.

@@kerrylittle3900 Hmmm, have you conformed that the SD card is formatted as "FAT32"? I'm not sure how knowledgeable you are with computers etc., but if you put the SD card in your computer, you can go into it's properties and change the formatting so that the Corvette can read and record to the card. :)

@@1Brain4Wheels I was wondering that. I just formatted it on my Canon camera to try it out. I own all Apple products so familiar with FAT32. I'll give that a try next. Thanks.

@@kerrylittle3900 Yeah, no problem - let me know how it goes!

Hi Richard, unfortunately CarPlay only works with the phone physically connected (via USB cord) to the infotainment system.

Thank you for the prompt answer, I love your videos, very helpful and detailed.

@@ricka.9411 Thanks Richard, I appreciate the compliment! :)

That’s a great question, I forgot to cover that but it will alert you that you got a text and then you have the option to have it speak it out loud to you and then you can voice to text back as well. It’s all designed to keep your eyes off the screen, and it works pretty well!

Can you Showa video how to respond back on a txt alert

No. It’s available in 2016 and newer. It can not be installed on 2014 or 2015, unless you look into aftermarket options.

nevermind i saw you had spotify thru at 9:07

Hey Michael, unfortunately you’re right, the 2014 & 15 C7s didn’t come with CarPlay or Android Auto :/ It’s kind of pricey, but if you ever wanted to add it, there’s an upgrade module for the early C7s that’s available, looks to be about $1000: www.infotainment.com/products/2014-2015-chevrolet-corvette-mylink-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-upgrade?variant=9856511836196&currency=USD&gclid=CjwKCAjwtpGGBhBJEiwAyRZX2v6rdDw__4FUsvVV3LvgTVjT_n1GL40FtCTHCt_SQACo6McGT1HxdRoCQcYQAvD_BwE

@@1Brain4Wheels not worth for me. That’s a solid down payment on a newer model. I traded in my mustang for the ‘15 C7 because I got an amazing deal. C7’s truly are one of the best bang for your buck.

@@michaelb3046 I hear you on that, I personally wouldn’t spend the money for it either but it’s nice that someone has at least created an option :)

Hmmm, does it show that “projection” icon at all, or does it just not show it as “Apple CarPlay”? It should always have the projection icon available, but if it’s not ever shifting over to CarPlay it’s likely a bad cable connection with your phone.

It doesn’t have the app at all not sure why even though it is a 2016

Thanks Andrew! And sorry for saying "go ahead" so much haha, that must've been my phrase of the day! ;)
