Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri::Cortana is Microsoft’s virtual assistant, which was introduced in 2014 back when Windows Phone was still a thing. Similar to…
Yep. I don’t own a car, but I rented one and wanted to give CarPlay a spin for the first time. It was like please enable Siri. I ended up doing it, but became very annoyed with Siri not long after I brought the car back. Would definitely be an issue for me if I owned the thing instead of renting.
If you do any car shopping, just ask the dealer if you can try it. Would be a good way to verify if what I’m saying is still true.
That’s fair! Honestly I just want a Bluetooth connection that doesn’t have a 1-2 second delay. Maybe FLAC support from flash drives.
My current radio plays MPs from flash drives, but won’t let you CHANGE THE SONG if you’re not stopped. So I use my phone via BT, which has this awful delay when doing anything at all.
With my last car, I used my beloved Bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter, which connects instantly, has no delay, and sounds magnificent. I would happily do with this car… BUT THE RADIO DOESN’T HAVE A GOT DANG 3.5MM JACK.
I think the car I rented could do Bluetooth audio without using CarPlay. I don’t remember how good/bad the delay was though.
I am genuinely curious… how could it possibly matter if there is a small delay on audio playback?
Watching video while parked? Impossible.
Volume down? Enjoy loud.
Forward? More song. No new song.
Bad. No delay good.
The only thing here that reads as English is the video use case. If I ever watched a video in my car I’d identify. But I don’t and may never do that.
It’s ANNOYING when I change a track foward or turn down the volume for any reason and it DOESN’T DO THE THING for a while.
Is that really so difficult for you to grok?
Do you need it translated better?
It’s annoying because I have a device that DOESN’T DO THAT but I cannot plug it in as my car doesn’t have a standard 3.5mm jack or a way to plug an adopter in.
I don’t watch videos in my car, except when I’m waiting for someone to go to my car and I’m already in my car.
I was honestly just curious. I’ve used BT audio for years and that never really registered on my radar as a concern so I didn’t know.
Fair! My BT adapter does everything instantly and going from that to sloooow BT is annoying.
