With your phone, go to settings/maps/navigation&guidance, then try low volume 🙂

 

Cheers for reply Richard, but that's the issue in IOS 15 navigation and guidance isn't there 🤪 There are loads in maps but nothing about volume. In my partner's Ios 14, absolutely that's where i would have gone. 

Hi all and hope you are keeping well.

I have apple Carplay and use apple maps predominantly (although the issue is the same with Google maps). The issue i have is the volume. Every journey I have perforated eardrums it is sooo loud 🙂  I have tried (and failed) with all the usual methods to turn volume to a more acceptable level, with no luck.

The next issue is I am on IOS15 beta and the described way to turn volume down, as in maps and volume, normal, etc is not there in IOS 15.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and apologies if i have missed this before.

Might be of interest the CPlay2Air device has been discounted to £75 for Black Friday.

Agghhhhh Phil, that has made its seriously enticing! 🙂

Cameras are on the maps, yes.  Whether they warn you, like Waze, depends on if you have settings for warning turned on

HI Paul, where exactly does one turn the warnings on in settings?

Cheers for your help... 🙂

No

Raised with the experts @ Lexus UK as they are definitely too Quiet

Paul,

I will ensure when they install they set the warning to ON as SIRI informing you is the best warning as 'He" mutes the radio in our Aygo.

Hi Tel, apologies if this is a dumb question but what do you mean about setting the warning to on? Where is that done and can it only be done during installation?

Wow, to be honest as long as they know they won't get their courtesy car back until i get mine, that's cool 🙂

Well all done and very quick and efficient, actually less than a couple of hours, which makes some of the other installation lengths seem odd 🙂

Had a quick play around and it seems to work seamlessly and like trying the other navigation possibilities.

One thing that might end up frustrating me is having to plug into USB every time, so has anyone got any reasonably priced solutions?

Just thought...I have a wireless charging pad in my UX, wonder if that will work?

that's what they told me....  

5hrs they said

back by lunch time they said

just not which day!  Telling me to plan to pick up Saturday; went in Wednesday

Wow, to be honest as long as they know they won't get their courtesy car back until i get mine, that's cool 🙂

Mine is in the dealer today to get done. Also £80, but courtesy car free. Was also in yesterday and will be in tomorrow...!

it’s the first one they have done (Croydon) but 3 days seems a bit long! Apparently it’s going well, just slow.

if it goes wrong, it screws the whole interface system and would cost them £5.5k to fix, they say, so they are taking their time....

Blimey that is the true definition of long 🙂 Mine in Monday, and just for the day at the moment

That sounds like bad news, shanks - my Lexus dealer even said they'd been warned to be super careful or they risked bricking the entire entertainment system. Fingers crossed it's something your dealer can fix cheaply!

Sumo - it was a full four-hour appointment, but that included my dealer washing my car. It looks and runs great, but no second-screen on the dashboard. No HUD on my car, so I can't confirm if that does anything or not, but I'm not optimistic...

Nick

Cheers, Nick. I've just had confirmation mine is still on for the 16th, so am excited (not sure whether that is sad? :)). I do have HUD, so will keep all updated.

Cheers, Nick, appreciated. I'm interested as I am 'top' of list as moment also,as i have some outstanding issues too and sort of feel like i am being fobbed off. You would think it is either available or it's not, i.e. not only to certain garages! Keep well, Simon

Hi NIck, how did the install go? I have mine booked in for the 16th Nov, or should i say, did have presumably with the impending lock down.....

That's right - I'm booked in with Milton Keynes Lexus for next friday. It sounds like I'll be one of the first one they do, but I've been hounding them since I picked up the car in July and they're trying to resolve an issue with the telematics system as well, so I'm at the top of their list.

Here's a question - I've got the 10" screen in my UX and am getting the CarPlay upgrade next week. Will I be able to still run the main screen in split-screen mode, with the hybrid/battery info in the small panel and the map on the large panel? Or does CarPlay take over the entire screen no matter what? That would be a drag...

Nick

Hi Nick, hope you don't mind me asking but are you getting it installed on your UX at your local Lexus as mine (Nottingham) is still saying its not available?

My Lexus Centre are now reporting that the Apple CarPlay retrofit has gone back to the end of November or early December.  Cost will be £96 including VAT.

2 hours ago, Habu said:

Please let me know when yours is done so I can go back and say other centres are now fitting it.  I'd rather have it sooner rather than later.

What's USB position and visible cables got to do with retrofitting AC and AA?

The retro fit works very well on android using the USB connex under the armrest and just laying the phone in the charging tray. If I change to iPhone I'll get an apple carplay device to use in the car as a WiFi connection between the phone and my NX..  so either way, so much easier now modified.. so are the dealers starting to carry out retrofits yet?

I am supposed to be getting my apple Carplay fitted w/c 19th October; again i am due a call from Lexus Nottingham this Wednesday coming to book in.

It will be interesting to see if it happens with the comment previously about it being pushed back til end of November + , as i spoke to them midweek and no mention of push back....

I can let you know about what i was told whilst having a service at my Lexus dealership. Please take with a pinch of salt but.....I was told £100 if done as part of my car being in for a service and £150 if not.

Many thanks, Sheri1, sounds like a waiting game for safety 🙂

Many thanks, I;ll try Lexus

So...maybe dumb a** question , is it available through Lexus online and presumable one downloads?

Cheers
