It's just one of many examples. I don't use Spotify b/c I'm already paying for no ads Youtube which gives me youtube music for free. So no need for Spotify too.

But it's not just those apps. Even using apple's own music app, you can't go backwards in a playlist. It only displays music currently playing and then music after the song that's currently playing. You can't scroll back up. Again, I am not saying that's the only reason, it is one of many reasons why someone like me would prefer to not access everything via CarPlay.... b/c CarPlay does not have full functionality and locks you out of certain things for no reason at all.

(and yeah, I'm assuming Carplay is the default). The 'normal' PCM Nav/Music is abysmal - it that's the need then I understand.

Agreed 10000%

You should see the Facebook group posts! Every. Single. Time. Without fail. Right behind the recommendations for radar detectors being accompanied by the "don't speed" replies.

Don’t know about you guys but our local PCA uses Ride with GPS app for rally’s. You can’t access that app on CarPlay so if you get left behind on the rally you’re constantly looking down at your phone to find the map guidance - definitely not safe.

would love someone to back apple carplay to run all apps but until that happens I’ll need a cheap phone mount.

The Rennline one is basically the only good option out there but some may not be comfortable with a DIY install. Plus it can leave an indentation on your dash once removed.

I want one of those magsafe holders, but I don't want to actually charge using Magsafe. I want to charge using USB. Is there a non-charging Magsafe holder that goes in the cupholder?

You could always get the nine-volt and just not power it. The magnet is not powered.

I don't use/need Carplay. I use the Porsche nav which I really like, and I run my Spotify music through Porsche's native Spotify which has a much better display than Carplay.

Mine is spaced out where it doesn’t touch.

So far in my 2 weeks of 992 ownership, I just put my phone in the middle cup holder. I hardly ever put a drink in there so this seems to work fine. I saw a universal phone holder that goes in the cup holder so I got one of those too which should work even better.
