iOS 17.4 and navigation

[Smithy37]

Anyone noticed any new features with Apple Maps, Google maps, etc., within CarPlay?

I’m aware the new turn by turn prompts were aimed at cars with dashboard integration but I was hoping we would get something cool as a trade off. I can’t see any difference, so a little underwhelmed.

Looks like the features we could see in the Taycan will not be out until later this year. And for now just the US market first. (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ios-17-4-features/)

Next-generation ‌CarPlay‌ is set to launch in the U.S. later in 2024, and code in iOS 17.4 references eight new ‌CarPlay‌ apps.

• Car Camera: This app will display the vehicle's rear-view camera feed.
• Charge: For electric vehicles, this app will display battery level, charging status, time remaining until the battery is fully charged, and more.
• Climate: This app will provide access to a vehicle's climate controls within ‌CarPlay‌, allowing you to adjust the temperature of the A/C or heating system, fan speed, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and more.
• Closures: This app will display if any of the vehicle's doors are opened, and it might also display vehicle warning symbols.
• Media: This app will provide access to FM and AM radio station controls within ‌CarPlay‌, along with other media options like SiriusXM. It is unclear if SiriusXM will offer satellite connectivity, or remain limited to internet streaming. Users will be able to select from a list of music genres, such as Top 40 and Rock.
• Tire Pressure: This app will display air pressure for each of the vehicle's tires, and provide low pressure, high pressure, and flat tire warnings.
• Trips: This app will provide a variety of driving-related data, including the vehicle's average speed, fuel efficiency or energy efficiency, the total time elapsed and distance traveled on a trip, and more.

This is highly doubtful for the Taycan, but maybe in the Macan EV.

CarPlay Instrument Cluster Update
In supported CarPlay vehicles, there's now an Apple Maps option to show information about upcoming turn-by-turn maneuvers in the instrument cluster. ‌CarPlay‌ users will be able to swap the display type between the main and instrument cluster by tapping on the map configuration button located in the upper right of the main Maps screen.

Today I just noticed, that car navigation is working in paralel with Waze. Before this was not the case.

The surprising thing I learned recently that Carplay has had support for 2 screens (IC and infotainment) for a while now, and there are cars which already support it. I'm surprised the current Taycan doesn't have it, but even more so that the new one or Macan EV don't have this support.

IC = Instrument Console?

All ive noticed is that now when I say 'Siri, open the garage door' - it unlocks the yale lock on the inner garage door instead - no matter how nicely I ask it to 'Siri do not unlock the inner door, open the garage door', it replies 'inner door unlocked'.
My apple watch which hasn't yet applied the '.4' update gets the command correctly still.

You mean both active at the same time?

Is this coming to present Taycans, or only to Taycan 2.0?
