They need to learn a thing or too from developers of AR Unchain and AppRadio Extensions

I wonder what cables are required and what will be supported? Lightning to AV Adapter or only lightning to USB cable? Any video output through here? WAZE SUPPORT?!?!?!?!?!

Double that! I hope it'll just be an update where plugging in iDevices will automatically allow the app to run.

It says in the article "via lightning cable"

Not at launch. Even though CarPlay pretty much is MirrorLink/AppRadio in nature, Apple is being very conservative about what devs can do right now. The only thing supported for 3rd parties (and only with permission) are audio apps. There isn't anything available for apps like Waze/Garmin/etc to do what they need to do. Apple will likely expand what is supported, but the question is how far and how soon. Maybe iOS 8 will do more, who knows.

It says the system takes a "lightning equipped iPhone" it does not say it takes only a lightning cable. I can almost assure you it will require the same adapters it currently takes to support app mode and video.

Scroll to the bottom of apples car play web site it shows it's for the iPhone 5,5c and 5s

And?

When Apple controls the protocol, why would it require the adapters? The whole point is that this is AirPlay (MPEG-4 + PCM) + Touch Input over USB, similar to MirrorLink. Apple didn't require adapters for iPod mode over USB, why would they for this?

Posted Apr 17, 2014 · 14:02 UTC#19

Because video doesn't travel over the USB cable on lightning devices.

Posted Apr 17, 2014 · 14:10 UTC#20

Ya know, actually, it might. Im so use to the old way of App Mode needing the same video connection as actually video that I was thinking Car Play was the same but its not. So you might be right.

Posted Apr 17, 2014 · 14:14 UTC#21

This also means, we likely may not be able to use both App Mode and Car Play with the same device. Honestly if thats the case thats fine with me. Ill take CP over AM any day.

Would be great to use airplay and not have to connect any wires, but it does say use of lightning connector and is only comparable with the iPhone 5 line

It uses AirPlay as the video output protocol (over USB). Developers have pulled out interesting data that suggests CarPlay can be done over Wifi Direct as well (sending the touches over wireless), but it doesn't appear to be available at launch. 

 

While interesting, I'm going to plug my phone in anyways to charge, so it might as well send the data that way too.

Where did you get the info that Car Play works over Air Play? Air Play works over WiFi. Has anyone verified that these units have WiFi?

No where in the installation or owners manual does the nex list any kind of wireless specifications or antennas, my guess would be through the lightning cable, but airplay can be done through Bluetooth as it is done on home stereos and other devices. It will remain to be seen if airplay could be done to the nex. Summertime wil answer our questions
