Default Audi MMI, Virtual Cockpit and iOS 13 CarPlay

Lots of CarPlay enhancements in iOS 13 - even support for dual screens - wonder if this will allow CarPlay to display in both the Audi MMI screen and virtual cockpit simultaneously???

- New interface with interactive dashboard view
- Advanced Apple Maps views
- Independent CarPlay app views
- Adjustable screen size support
- Irregular screen support
- Second video screen support
- Redesigned calendar and music apps with album art!
- Hey Siri support
- Siri integration into more third party apps
- HomeKit integration (example, open garage through CarPlay) with notifications

Glad Car play received the much needed update can't wait to see it in action. Hopefully the album artwork showing in VC is fixed and wireless support comes soon.

Just tried out CarPlay for the first time with the first iOS 13 developer build installed. (2017 A4 B9 Prestige, MMI version 1218). I have to say that it is super smooth and polished for a beta version. Didn't experience any glitches or hiccups. A few screenshots:

Cool thanks for the screenshots . I Like the split view screen that was much needed. I also read you can now navigate to different apps on your phone and it won't interrupt the car play interface on the screen!

Does maps on carplay show up on virtual cockpit as well or does it need Audi to support it?

The VC display is all Audi. None of the CarPlay graphics or typefaces come over. When playing music in CarPlay the music screen on the VC does show the song info (Artist/ Title/ Time) but the album graphics don’t even come over. And when using CarPlay maps the map on the VC side is still Google.

Samsj: True. I was able to navigate back to my iPhone’s home screen and use the camera without it interfering with CarPlay on the MMI.

I’m going to test this too. Believe I’m running a newer firmware 1316 on a 2019 A4 Prestige.
