So while I would support your efforts, I also want to make clear that nobody should get their hopes up too much that this will be implemented anytime soon. Apple Carplay is a bit more likely, there are some navigation apps on Carplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Carplay is a bit more likely, there are some navigation apps on Carplay. The Bolt's MyChevy App can display all the kinds of information we want to for ABRP, so it's not impossible. They do have some more leverage, as they're also the ones installing AA in their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benkvist Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I will not pay for a premium membership as long It don't support Apple Carplay. That is a simple fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conny Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 On 4/30/2020 at 3:07 PM, Jason (ABRP) said: This is because the Apple Maps API only supports one waypoint at a time (weirdly). Its possible to export multi-waypoints at the same time to google maps, at least EVNavigation can do it. I attach two pictures that shows the route in EVNavigation, and when its exported to Google maps. When I try the same in ABRP, only first stop is exported. Please try to fix this. I would love if you could put a little effort in it to make it work also with ABRP. Because then I do my EV trip planning in ABRP, export it to Google maps, use google maps in car play to have good navigation in the car. I would also love if you could implement (if possible) that export also support TomTom app in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-ABRP Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 @conny - this is already done on the web version of the app. Our intention is that if you're in the car following a plan on your phone, it's really only useful to navigate to the next waypoint on the list, as the waypoint following that might change depending on how much you charge, or how the weather or traffic changes in the interim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with this approach is that I think waypoints are often added purely to force the planner to calculate based on a specific route.

Yeah, this is the real reason you are getting the silent treatment. However, there are alternative app stores and ways to get an app on the phone, such as sideloading or one of the app stores that circumvent Apple’s monopoly. Just get the feature out there and let the world see the benefit of ABRP over the monopolists. It will speak for itself. Despicable how they pose as utopian do-gooders, and then try to sabotage EV apps! Edited September 20, 2020 by joncox@alum.mit.edu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A900ss Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I’m not too sure that Apple is trying to protect its own Apple Maps software as they only provide EV routing for a few BMW and Fords. Plugsurfing has been given approval and is now available to use CarPlay so I’m sure it’s possible. Maybe you’ll have to link the routing to Apple Maps though rather than your current source of maps. In fairness that probably wouldn’t be a bad thing as I think both Google Maps and Apple Maps do offer better routing that the routing offered by ABRP. (I love the rest of the app other than the directions/route taken). Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Jason, did you have any news from Apple? it would be really really good, I am having some troubles with the android app (which I use for send you data) and I just can't use ABRP as navigator from that phone... we all need Apple Car Play support!

Marc O. Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Definitely need CarPlay support! I'm about to buy a GPS enabled tablet to mount on my dashboard so I can use ABRP, but I would really hate it if I can use ABRP on CarPlay just a couple of weeks later. So I'm really hoping to get some good estimates on when (if at all) this is going to come. Obviously I prefer to use it on CarPlay rather than on a tablet. I'm already a premium user, so you already have my full support and I'll keep supporting you if CarPlay really hits the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-ABRP Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 We don't want to promise anything soon. Just know we're working on it (and actually making progress!) but we're not sure what additional hurdles we'll have to jump through before we have something Apple will let us release. As soon as we have something publicly testable you can be sure we'll post here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1geek_EV Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Agreed. Thank you for the effort, Jason. I could really use ABRP in CarPlay for my e-Golf. Anything we can do to get Apple to move faster on approving your app? I have tried the Chargepoint App (just released for CarPlay in early November 2020) and it is a pretty poor effort. I know ABRP gets the details right so I am really looking forward to seeing you program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexcyn Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'm hoping for the Android Auto version since the PlugShare app is fairly poor on AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-ABRP Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 After CarPlay, I think our next priority will be Android Auto since the build tools are finally available. Also, I can't take any credit, it's been mainly the tireless efforts of @Marc Pujol (ABRP) working on the CarPlay builds! I do think we're getting close to something we can post to a very limited Testflight release, so be on the lookout for a request for testers in the next few weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own an e-niro and I would be happy to test the carplay functionality in combination with odb2. I worked as software tester (mainly mobile apps for 4 years.) Furthermore iam familiar with bug trackers (e.g. jira) So if you need assistance feel free to contact me Again Thank you for your great efforts !

Jason-ABRP Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thanks @chris-e-niro - we'll keep you in mind! If anyone has the requisite skills to help us with the app UI development, we could definitely speed along the Android Auto implementation and start working it before we finish CarPlay. We've got openings posted on our website, get in touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixtrb Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) New to the forums but not to ABRP. Long time premium user but got tired of needing to use ABRP in a browser since that’s pretty slow......... old Tesla I guess :-). Now have a Taycan and would love to see the App in carplay since Porsches own system is pretty much non usable........ Love what I see in the images above!! please keep us posted!
