Dan Moren@caseyliss I'd like it to see if it can figure out when my stick shift is in park. 🤨
@dmoren I had the same thought, but I **think** it's based on location services not any sort of comms with the car.
But apparently it needs enhanced support on the car side regardless, so you and I are SOL anyway :(
Alexander L@caseyliss @dmoren If it was to use infomatics from the car; it would likely check for the parking brake. It's how the nav lock out works on my 6 speed (and how I defeated it…).

@ConnertheCat @caseyliss @dmoren wouldn't it just check if the engine is running? Or ignition? I would imagine that CarPlay receives those states, does it not?
Graham Ballantyne@robkrueger @ConnertheCat @caseyliss @dmoren that wouldn’t work for the use-case of an EV at a charging station; it can be common to leave the car “running” while charging so that you can have heat or AC going while you wait.
CarPlay already knows when a car is in park (doesn’t help Dan, I know). I can only type a search in Google Maps in park, otherwise only voice search or tapping a list of quick shortcut locations.
@gnb @ConnertheCat @caseyliss @dmoren I can use CarPlay without leaving the car in „ready“ state in my EV. And I can control climate from an app even if the car is „off“ and locked. So I do think that there would be a way to use it while charging, if implemented correctly on both sides.
@robkrueger I was responding to the theory that it wouldn’t work if the car was in an “engine on” state. There are fully legitimate reasons to keep an EV “on” but not driving. If I’m in a ferry lineup, for example, I put it in park but don’t turn it off so I can keep the AC running. Sure, I could turn it off and then start AC from my phone, but that’s just silly.
