I have a modified unit in my 2020 TS for CarPlay usage and find it drains the iPhone battery even if being wirelessly charged
is this common even with 2021 models OEM CarPlay functionality?
Curious when the long awaited update comes for 2020 wireless CarPlay if the battery drain will be less...
@NC_Taycan
When you mention pre-condition, is that the option for choosing interior temp?
Not sure how that would affect whether the battery warms or not or maybe I’m missing something?
I understand all the processes for optimal charging
What I’m trying to understand is......is it possible to warm the battery with a timer set @ home to start the day and is it beneficial starting the day with a warm battery vs cold battery
I guess what I’m trying to figure out is if:
1) range is optimized by a warm battery vs starting the day cold
2) setting a departure timer will warm the battery sufficiently
Question.........
is it beneficial to have a warmer (optimized) battery when I start driving each day to maximize range and efficiency?
if so, does setting the departure timer automatically warm the battery to the optimal temperature?
Damn, that looks very clean
Are you happy with the position of the remote or would you choose another position after using it?
May I ask ballpark how much this was, product and install?
@evanevery
Thanks so much for the design
A few questions:
1) I’m leaning towards picking up the V1 Gen2 myself......do you prefer this over the escort or uniden model or have you never tried the others?.......i like the clean look of the V1 myself
2) How are you running power to the unit and do...
not sure what you mean by plugged the phone in the adapter
you need to get power to the CarPlay unit 1st, then connect your phone to the carplay unit via the web address
I’m out and about so I don’t have the info but it was on the little pamphlet which came with the unit
Not sure if your unit had a guide of how to setup like the one I had
plug in unit for power
Type in web address to connect to the device from your phone
Once connected it will give you an option to reset as well to update the FW
@Marshall
Had a very similar situation happen to me last week after using for the past month
It was useless, would show power with the red light but that was it
I removed it from the car, brought it inside and did a reset to the unit
I deleted any wifi or bluetooth connections on my phone...
