Re: 2021 - Let's cut to the chase

1. Is it or is it not going to have a fully-digital instrument cluster?

2. Is it or is it not going to have wireless Android Auto and Carplay?

3. Is it or is it not going to have the 10.25" nav screen?


I keep reading one thing and then another, and I wonder if anyone knows the real answers.

Nobody here has anymore information than what is readily available to you around the internet. We're all customers, like you.

If you want to play the guessing game--which basically goes against the point of your thread--I doubt the Stinger will get those 3 features if they are NOT present in the Telluride or G70.

 

[Silvermanor]

I think they have to.

Aw, shoot. I was hoping someone had some inside information.

I've read that in the K5 if you select the 10.25" display you lose the wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto. So chances are if we do get the big display it likely won't be wireless.

FYI - You can get wireless Apple Carplay for our current generation Stinger by adding one of these. They work really well. I have the Carlinkit brand but they both work the same. Really happy with mine.

Oh right. They like things bigger in Texas. Sadly it won’t support your phone.

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes

Ok, now the obligatory follow-up question -Will we be able to retrofit these to our MY18 and 19 Stingers?

Can you still share the iphone's internet connection with the car (via wifi) while using this wireless carplay adapter? I quite like to use the car's navigation on long distances. Thanks!

Not sure I understand. The cars navigation works with CarPlay active, wired or not.

 

[7Andrei7]

@SKStinger I know it works, but (at least on EU versions) you can connect the car's infotainment unit to a wifi/hotspot so that the car's navigation has access to live traffic data from TomTom servers.
What I'm not sure about is: can the iphone still create a Personal Hotspot while connected to wireless carplay, since it uses both the bluetooth and the wifi for the carplay connection?

Ah I see. I don’t know. Maybe ask carplay2air?

LOLOLOL.

Cool story, now do global..


Apple has well under 20% of the global market share for smartphones (vs Android which has over 80%). So no, not that many people use iphones.

Of course they don’t lead global. China. India. Come on bro.

Cmon on bro? Do Europe then. Less than 25% market share for ios vs 75% Android. Only Americans drive and use smartphones if you want to push a narrative right?
