HI hello, does carplay in the car use the GPS antenna to locate the car, if there is one, and is it standard in newer cars, or does it only use the iPhone? Recently I have been having incorrect location behavior on navigation and maps, when I disconnect CarPlay on my phone everything returns to normal. I don't know where to look for the problem
Yes, it uses the car’s GPS antenna.
There have been issues in the past with some in vehicle NAV systems passing bad data to connected devices, both iphones and android devices. In those cases, the head units have required updates form the manufacturers to correct the problem.
he cutting-edge "Locate the Car" functionality in modern vehicles eliminates the need for external devices like iPhones. This advanced feature is seamlessly integrated into the car's internal system, ensuring a user-friendly experience without reliance on additional gadgets. To gain comprehensive insights into its functionalities, only the manufacturer or authorized car dealer possesses the expertise to guide users through its intricacies and optimal usage.
However, iPhone has a feature called "Parked Car Location"
In the Settings app, tap Maps. Scroll to Show Parked Location and turn the feature on.17-Aug-2023
And which of the two has the correct GPS positioning, the car's CarPlay or the iPhone's?
Thank you very much, I understand that it is not possible to force the iPhone to use its GPS, I suspect that the car's GPS has problems and that is why CarPlay shows incorrectly
carplay GPS
