Default Apple CarPlay touch screen integration

Apple's CarPlay looks intriguing. An iOS display on your car's touch screen. with direct Siri integration.

It says it will be available for Nissan "soon" but doesn't make clear if this is just an app and a lightning connector, or if more hardware integration is required. Anyone know more about this? Does is require specific hardware, or will it interface with the existing Nav system display? Will current systems be upgradeable to accept CarPlay?

All I've heard was for Ferrari, Mercedes and Volvo for now. But I'm pretty much fine with my Nissan Navigation. Seems to do all this via bluetooth, my entire music collection in the cloud for free and can link with any phone.

yah, im not sure if i want to put in a mobile phone maker's factory device in my car since they can live or die within a year.

i rather have the car manufacturer's device that is compatible to the services offered by these companies and app providers.

.. like wat if someone had blackberry factory installed device in their car? LOL

yah, that wouldn't be very cool any more. it's hard because cars take 3-5yrs to design and get built. phone makers can die within that time frame.

It is an interesting debate, was discussing with some friends.
Would almost be ideal if the car manufacturers just provide a screen with an input (or bluetooth) and your phone syncs up to it. The average phone is just as if not more powerful than the built in A/V equipment in your car, plus has more functions with deeper details and easier to upgrade. This means if you get a new phone for whatever new feature your car can use it because all it is doing is projecting it onto the screen.

Downside, Apple/Google/MS control more things.

yep, if BT could provide more data and use less power on the device side, this would be the most ideal way. even today aftermarket HU's like my pioneer can sync up to contacts and run native apps (pandora) without even taking the phone out of your pocket.

if the device can be wirelessly charged while in the car (without taking it out of your pocket), and have faster wireless connection to the HU, then that would be the most ideal

Well, if it's plugged into the car then it charges at the same time. This device doesn't provide additional functionality over what is already part of the Nav package. When my phone us in the car, I already have Siri available through the car's speakers, but this system looks like it will provide me with a consistent and easier-to-use interface with better integration into my phone. And if they integrate more apps than are available right now at launch (they say more app integration is coming), so much the better. IMHO MotionX Drive blows Nissan's Nav away, especially in the area of map detail.

Why not just use a appradio and AppRadio Extensions, of course I am an android guy myself.

Fairly confident that Apple has another year or two of life left in it.

yah, but i keep my cars for like 10+ yrs these days.
can you safely say apple will be around in 2024?

if one's plugging in the device, it's really meaningless to me. this is 2014...if this is suppose to be new, use wireless charging and wireless connection to the HU. no meaning paying a premium for wired.

Right now this design Apple has released requires you plug in your device via its new connection (forget the name). So it charges while it is in use, this is probably to skip over any battery issues right now until later down the road. Plus a cable connection is probably faster than BT honestly.

On the comment of Apple, they have many years to go, they are positioning themselves into other industries (ie cars) to keep their leverage going. I would prefer to see auto makers do more of a general connection, supports iOS, Android, WP, etc.

is the screen capacitive or resistive? if capacitive makes even less sense cause i cant control it with gloves on. unless you get one of those special gloves.

another reason why i run my pioneer HU to make calls through BT. i can dial from the screen with gloves on while my phone is in my pocket.

That is probably on the car side of choices.
Honestly this just sounds like Apple has put forth a setup that if your phone gets plugged into one of these cars the car will load up an Apple specific UI and allow apps to run.
