Apple CarPlay?

[mattstav]

Anyone have this in their car? it looks like a really neat system for iPhone users, perhaps looks too after market in style but may fit in the compartment where drive would be if you don't have it?

might be going on the christmas list if it's any good

I would rather Apple allowed users to copy itunes onto a usb stick without all those ._files and preventing play on the Z4

I gather an app called blueharvest is the only method available at the moment.

Not sure what this means. Music that I have purchased via iTunes and was downloaded to my PC, I simply copied the files directly to a USB stick and they played perfectly on my 60 plate Z4. As it had refused to play music directly from my iPhone 6, this was the main way I was using to listen to music.

Regarding the Apple CarPlay integration, that will be a year / two, but I did see references in the M4 manual to "holding the voice button" activating SIRI. I'm hoping that feature makes it to my new Z4 in March.

I do exactly that by using this bit of software

PC to USB is no problem but iMac to USB creates files that prevent the cars system reading the MP3 files.

I have an iPhone and 2 iPads. Things like this remind me why I don't yet have a Mac though. :roll:

And it also reminds me while I keep my old vaio laptop!
