Apple CarPlay suggestions
JAR414 replied to tdottrucker's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
After following that video, here's the results! Before and after After installing the unit and verifying it works, but before you close everything up, you'll want to turn off the car and radio, then move rocker switch "2" to the "1" or "On" position. Then restart the radio by going to Acc mode. You will see a little + sign in a corner...that's for helping you calibrate the touchscreen. After you finish the calibration, return the rocker switch to "0" or "Off". Watch this video for the procedure -

I bought one...make sure you get the version for Maserati. It's not too hard to install. -

I bought it. Make sure you know what the headunit for your car looks like. If in doubt, order the version for Maserati Ghibli., and follow this video. It works, and you can get it at a decent price. -

Hey Miguel! I am ordering that one this month. Wish me luck! -

Connect the Nuvi to the web (assuming it has Lifetime Maps), and let it update itself using the Garmin software. After that, you need to access the file system for the Nuvi (including looking at the Hidden directories), and download the similar files as in this thread. (The file names may be different, but you can tell which ones you will need, usually). Then follow the instructions in the thread above. -
You will need to get the files either from a Garmin unit with Lifetime Maps off eBay (they can be found cheap) or go to a GPS forum and see if someone has uploaded the latest files. Then get two flash drives of 8GB each (Sandisk preferred), a copy of CTP 13 and enough gas and patience for running your car about 2 to 3 hours uninterrupted. Then go to the thread about unlocking your maps.

There are plenty of old Nuvis on eBay that you can use. I recommend a 2597 LMT (Lifetime Maps), which should help. The North American set is up to 2022.25 (last I checked) and works really well. You can use the procedure from another thread in the discussion board, which guides you through the maps replacement. Just make sure you have an 8GB flash drive (SanDisk preferred), and 2 hours or so available to let your car run uninterrupted. -

There's one of the screens in Nav that tells you what version of firmware (CTP) you're using. -
Upgrade from 4” to 8.4”
JAR414 replied to n7tactician's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
Infotainment sells an 8.4" with Nav set...or at least they did a while ago. It looks like a rather straightforward process, but it didn't seem to have CarPlay when I saw it. Having said that, the Apple CarPlay suggestions thread shows a way to get CarPlay added to Uconnect 8.4. Your mileage may vary! -

I'll keep an eye out on it. When I looked this week it was just over US $400... -

Agreed. And the app allows you to move between car and house listening to a specific show (CBS Sports Radio shows for me in the mornings...) And I can always keep the other subscriptions in the account active. I am very tempted to spend the US $400 on it -

That would be a reason for me to think about it. I guess I could let the SiriusXM subscription for this car go, and stream from my phone... Any need to splice wires? -

Do you get limited to using your phone for music, or can you use the interface while using your car's radio? -

The only question I have is, does it require you to remove the screen? Ok, one more question, where does that box on the kit go...behind the screen? Otherwise, incredibly cool! -

Did you purchase it? Any reports? I would love to get Apple CarPlay into my 2014 DJ with 8.4N -
Just curious
