i have a E200 year 2018 and my audio system is (520) Radio Audio 20 with USB NTG5. Is it possible actívate or connect CarPlay in that car?

There is not a Tablet Icon at USB port.

It is very easy to check.

Just log in to your phone and then connect to the USB in your car (which port depends on the region).

If you have CarPlay it will just appear on the screen - no need to do anything else.

It does not appear. There is another way? I do not have a Tablet icon at USB port.

Thank you

Depending on model you can maybe have it activated. You can message vladimircdi on ebay with your VIN and see if it is possible. Worked for me and it costed about 250 dollars.

Speaking of Carplay. I'm beta testing iOS 13 at the moment on my iPhone and the new Carplay is great, Lovely summary page which you can choose showing your calendar, media and Satnav on the one page. Very pleased as well to see a new Spotify layout on Carplay too. Looks very good.

Its about time CarPlay made some positive changes. I've never really been all that crazy about it.

Can you take a pic? I dont think I have that option.

iOS13 is coming in September/October, so in order to try it right now, you would have to install a beta version in your iPhone. It will indeed be a big leap forward for Carplay, as mentioned in this article

If only there was some way of retrofitting wireless Carplay into the current W213 E-classes... It's annoying to have to physically connect the phone every time one wants to use it.

I took a couple this evening. I love having the calendar now in Carplay.

I am aware of iOS 13. I have been beta testing it myself. My question was that I do not see a split view as was mentioned. The map view with the calendar, as your BMW example shows.

But I figured it out, as an FYI for anyone else missing it. You need to have the Apple Maps app installed. Then you will be able to scroll far left to view the "summary" screen view.

Meanwhile not having Apple Maps app installed this view is not an option. I guess people still prefer to use the crappy default navigation app for some reason which is fine, but since I deleted mine all together apparently I am limited to only the standard app icon view.

Without Apple maps installed you do not have 3 screens, with your main screen being the middle 2nd screen. It is the first.
