If you’ve ever used CarPlay, you know that it’s light years better than any stock car software. I use the Anker PowerWave to keep my iPhone charged while in the car, so the wireless model was perfect for my use case. If you want to save $50 on the purchase price, you can opt for the wired-only model. The unit I have works wirelessly, so it doesn’t need to be connected to a lightning cord to display. I decided to relocate it, and it came up with ease. One note on the adhesive is that it easily comes off without damaging your dashboard. My iPhone immediately detected it as a CarPlay unit, and then it immediately showed the CarPlay interface on the display. After installing it, I unpaired my iPhone from my car’s Bluetooth connection and then paired it to the IntelliDash. It plugs into your car’s DC adaptor for power and then into the AUX port for audio. It includes an arm mount that can either be mounted directly on your dash using adhesive or attached to your windshield using a suction cup.
The best way to think about Car and Driver’s Intellidash Pro is how external GPS systems use to look and function in your car. With Intellidash’s external CarPlay Unit, you can get it to any vehicle. It brings an Apple-like interface to the car. It’s an easy way to follow Apple Maps, use your podcast app, or listen to Apple Music while in your vehicle. For the past few weeks, I’ve had the Car and Driver Intellidash Pro in my car, and it’s the perfect way to use your iPhone if your vehicle doesn’t include CarPlay.ĬarPlay is Apple’s way to add iOS support to your car. However, there’s a new solution for my situation, and it’s the perfect way to add CarPlay without replacing your existing stereo system. Unfortunately, my car from 2017 doesn’t have it, and I am not interested in completely ripping the factory display out-as it’s a pretty unique shape and I am concerned it will look a little out of place. What started as something only in high-end aftermarket stereos has turned into the default for new cars. CarPlay is becoming an essential part of using iOS.
