[QUOTE="nikhsub1, post: 2020583, member: 22952"] So a few things here. First, it is annoying how everytime you start the truck the radio goes to some unknown band and station and not where it was last set to. A clue to this behavior is if you force close the console app (basically sync 3) it will do the same thing, you will lose what you were listening to and have to reselect whatever that was. Second, I think I use the tablet in a unique way that works perfectly for me. First, I have a wireless carplay dongle plugged into the center USB slot, so I never need to plug the phone in for carplay. Second, I use carplay VIA sync 3, not directly to the tablet. IMO going carplay direct to the tablet is a waste of time as mentioned above. What does using carplay via sync 3 actually do and not do? Glad you asked! First, I can use the button on the steering wheel to say, "call muh wife" or "text so and so" and it just works. When I do this, whatever is on the screen is UNAFFECTED. I can be full screen waze for example, tell siri to call someone, and I continue to have full waze. Now, the downside to that is when I want to hang up, I need to either leave waze on the tablet and go into the sync screen, then carplay and end the call OR, just end the call on my phone - which is what I do. I have my phone magnetically mounted on my dash so it is right there and not an issue. So basically, with carplay still linked to the sync module, the tablet remains free to do what it does best. In my normal course of driving I usually run split screen with waze on top and sync on bottom as I still like to deal with the radio with muh fat fingers :p [/QUOTE]
