  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and This doesn’t Work

    By DA Jay (Pcmac user)

    So I found a bug in the way this setup works, so if you have “wireless” Apple CarPlay and you want to view the cameras the system doesn’t work and you won’t be able to connect and view footage as the iPhone is trying to connect to the WiFi network generated by the radio for CarPlay so it never connects to the dash cameras. I called the app support and was told I was added to a ticket and they were aware of the issue. I haven’t heard anything as of late....In today’s world were most radios are supporting CarPlay you would think this is more of a priority... anyway in case anyone else comes across this issue how to side step it if you need to connect to your cameras is go to the WiFi networks while your phone is connected to CarPlay and disable auto join on the WiFi network your radio generated and reboot your phone. Your phone won’t be able to use wireless CarPlay however you will be able to access the dash cams if needed.
  • Pairing Failure

    By King Air Master (Pcmac user)

    I really like this app when I can get it to pair with my iPhone 6S or iPad Pro, but you usually only can get a day with successful pairing. Hard restarting, forgetting device and removing the app and re-downloading don’t always assure you that the pairing will be successful. Message states “make sure the the app device is on and nearby” even when phone and GPS units are touching! I travel frequently into major cities and rely on the active traffic functionality which enhances the regular traffic notifications of my the app DriveSmart 65. If the app can get this fixed, I could give it a solid 5 stars-when it works it rocks.
  • Love the garmin and app

    By vegas view 2 (Pcmac user)

    I have a iphone xr and it has no issue at all. Works great and i move this from car to car as i rent alot. Alexa works great with only a few features not available like playing video. I would love if it would show nest and blink camera. That would make this product perfect. i can run my home lights, alarms, temp, irrigation and all other smart home features (less the cameras). the app features are hands free and very easy to use. I could not be happier with this product.
  • Keeps getting disconnected

    By Will969 (Pcmac user)

    The App/device connection keeps getting disrupted and requires a hard reset/re-pairing to work again. The BT connectivity is fine. Going through the reviews this seems to be a known issue that has been doing the rounds for a while. When it works, it works great. I would expect a company like the app to atleast get such basic connectivity issues fixed. the app definitely needs to hire some good SQA people to do their jobs correctly before releasing a buggy product.
