I really like the sound of CarPlay, but until it becomes more widely available I’ll continue using “Harken For iPhone” in the car. It’s much easier to use than Apple’s music player (bigger text, large buttons/touch areas). There’s also “Harken” on the iPad but I need a new cradle for my iPad so I can’t use it at the moment.

CarPlay is available today in 2014 models from Ferrari, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes and Volvo. The IOS 7.1 released yesterday gave the phones the ability to connect to the dash units.

My CarPlay icons are on a single row, not double rowed as shown in the article. How in the world do I get the double row back? I also do not have time, signal strength or a home button.

Initially it worked fine, but then it changed...

Hè id like that. I really want to hide the signal and Home button, because it makes the screen really small. Please tell me if you find out how you did it. Pioneer avh-x8600bt nex-8600 i Think. Thanks
