New beta! 5.0.3 (447)

[Corjan Meijerink]

If you open the app on your phone and you don’t see a warning about the devices, that’s definitely not the issue.

Try restarting the app completely and reconnecting again to CarPlay.

Een groepsabonnement zou natuurlijk welkom zijn.

could someone answer a query for me. the answer may be obvious, but thought i would ask.
as I have previously mentioned earlier in the thread, I am a supporter of device restriction, as it stops freeloaders.

That said, it doesn’t really affect me personally. I only use an iPhone with a CarPlay device, plus a rugged Android tablet for multi-day tours, and I only ever use one or the other, never both at same time, anyhow,

my question is.
does a CarPlay unit (specifically a Carpuride 702) count as an extra device? My understanding is that you’re only logged in on the phone itself, not the CarPlay device.

@paul69 : It only affects the devices on which the app is installed, so your CarPlay device is not affected because the content of the phone is played on the CarPlay device. Have fun!

@AWDC-LAO zou daar niet op rekenen

[Corjan Meijerink]

@paul69 what @Hubert-Thoring says is correct.
CarPlay / Android Auto is not an extra device.

I'm a bit irritated, be ause I'm not familiar enough with AA/CP. Until now, I thought that these devices merely "mirror the monitor" of the connected mobile phone (wireless or wired). So, Corjan's last answer faces into my understanding.

But currently @Con-Hennekens replies to me, I should not call such devices as "mirror".
So, does this mean, on some AA/CP models apps can be installed?
Or in other words: is my understanding correct - does the new rule only counts a device, if "Navigation Next" is really installed on a device?

[Hubert Thoring]

I would say every device that has its own installed MRA app on the system is counted. A CP or AA solution as a pure mirroring of the mobile phone display is not counted...

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Guzzist yes, the app only counts installed devices. Meaning it’s an Android or iOS device.

Not calling Android Auto / CarPlay a mirroring device is preferred because it does not actually mirror your screen. It’s a whole different interface with its own rules / features. Whereas a mirroring device just copies the screen of your phone with all those features.

But not very relevant for the discussion.
No, CP / AA does not count as a device
