Apple CarPlay and Yahoo! Car Navigation

I recently switched to a MY2018 911GTS and used apple car play for the first time...Using Yahoo! Car Navigation via car play has more limited functionality than when using it on a smartphone.It seems to be. Scrolling cannot be done by sliding your finger like on a smartphone, and you can only move the screen of an old-fashioned navigation system...
I also have a '69 Narrow, and in that case, I use the navigation system directly on my phone, so I feel like the good things about yNavi via CarPlay are half as good as they could be compared to that!(Tata-san)

I use Apple Car Play on my motorcycle. Now that Zenrin and Google Maps have parted ways! The quality is so good that it's one of the best free ones... so far.There are problems such as freezing, or the music stops when the application is launched.I hope this will be improved in future updates. It would be more useful if illustrations of highway junctions could be displayed.(MIZUNO)

The reason there are so few features available in the Apple carplay version of Yahoo!Largely due to limitations on the Carplay sideThis is a good thing. It seems that the app developers are working harder and harder, so I have high expectations for the future. As Mr. Mizusan said.I want to see the illustration of the highway branching as soon as possible.Yes.
Porsche is nice enough to let me connect to the SIM in the car with Wifi. The screen is also touch screen and responsive. I also drive an S63 coupe, which also supports Carplay, but it will not let me use the in-car SIM for personal use. If I want to use Wifi in the car, I have to tether from my iPhone. Car navigation system will not even start unless you turn off the wifi. The screen also doesn't use a touch panel... BMW requires a subscription fee to use Carplay itself, so you could say it's more of a 00 specification.(Sorry if this is old knowledge)...etc. Porsche has unexpectedly excelled in some areas.(HeartOfGlass)

Car Navigation System" is available.Not operated via CarPlay, but active on 964.Car Navigation System", which is now more accurate and has more functions than before. Car Navi", my car's position is more accurate than before, and the functions are enhanced. I even bought a remote control for the steering wheel called "Navi Uma" because I thought I would continue to use it for a while. Putting aside the name "Navi Uma", it helps me a lot with operations while driving.
After all, there is no need to update the map. The new expressway that was just extended in March was also updated right away.(Tetsu-san)

Driving under pressure

I hate agitated driving. "Porsche won't get agitated.(Crying) Everyone is flying, so if you are in the overtaking lane at 120km/h or less, you will surely be followed by a pit stop. I'm sure I'll be followed closely.The slow ones are just in the way anyway, no matter what kind of car they are.Like, ".
Even when I was in my Maserati, if I was driving leisurely.(but about 100 km/hr).I once had a female driver (minivan) pass me from the driving lane while giving me the middle finger. I was so angry that I laughed.(SN)

The other day.driving under the influence (of drugs)The police were called at the At the time, I was in a one-box sales car. About 30 minutes after I returned to the office after driving normally, my office phone rang and when I answered it, I received a call from the police department explaining that they had received a report that I had been scared by a driver who was driving in a hail storm, so I called them.
I don't remember such a thing, but I do remember that there was a liter car that was running at 40km/h all the time on a national road with a 50km/h regulation.I am not passing, honking, or waving my car.I explained that I tried to pass them by using a side road, but the other car entered the same road and continued driving at 40km/h. When the no-overtaking zone was lifted, I overtook them and returned to my office. The police officer seemed to be convinced by my argument, and said, "I'm sorry.There are people who run slowly - be careful, because there are people who will call the police immediately!I was done with the phone call with the "I'm sorry.
When I told a young acquaintance about the incident the next day, he said, "That'sdriving under the influence (of drugs)That's right! The guy who just put the drive recorder on is having fun intentionally letting the car behind him get too close so he can call the police!" He told me. I was convinced that the police officer was very understanding. Everyone, please be careful of distracted driving.(Kasamachikara)

I've been trying to drive with the flow on public roads since I recently got hooked on circuits. It's not the same as agitating, but unlike the circuit, I'm honestly scared of it. (Circuits are not perfect either, but they are almost all gentlemen.(cara)

Porsche and Life

I am a young man who just started his second year in the workforce this month, but somehow I got my loan approved.981 Cayman MT delivered yesterdayI did. I read through the blogs of foreign sports car owners and came across this article and a blog that I think is probably your husband's, which pushed me to take action on my own.
I was not so interested in cars before I got my license.Discovered the fun of cars with an E46 BMW, and recently lifted the AT limitation in order to buy a Porsche.Mina also drove a Boxster from the AT cancellation, but it's difficult... and you can only drive a manual car for a little while if you have the AT cancellation...
I was surprised at the weight of the clutch and asked the person in charge at the store to accompany me for practice and follow me from behind until I got home. I am going to work steadily on improving my driving technique. I know this is a bit off topic, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the push you gave me. Thank you very much.(Mr. Takemaru)

I promised myself that I would buy a Porsche someday, and every day while going to work, I read Mina's blog and learned about Porsches and her husband's comments. I always have images of Porsche in my mind and on my cell phone, and I spend my days imagining the Porsche, and finally, I got it.718 Cayman GTS contracted with no-compromise options as desired in the July production window.I am very happy to have been able to do this. Thank you so much. If you work hard, selflessly, and never give up, you can make it a reality.
And this blog reminded me of the time when I was 24 years old, I used to drive my Honda Integra Type-R every week to see the night view with my girlfriend while practicing my driving skills. I am looking forward to going to Ashiyu Driveway again after a long time when the car is delivered. I'm looking forward to a very happy 40th year (laugh).(TAKURO)

I also have a car andI like to drive, turbo, manual car.I had been driving an SUV, but recently switched to an SUV because I am old enough to get married and have children in the future. When I finally took delivery of the car and drove it with excitement, I found that it was no fun at all and I was in despair. The thought of driving this car made me stay indoors instead of going out on weekends.
Recently, however, theOpportunity to drive the current WRX STII was so happy that I drove 500 km in half a day, and I was so impressed that I was able to enjoy the ride.There is such a fun car in the world, I want to drive this car all the time.I felt myself becoming more active. Since then, I have been thinking every day about getting a WRX STI, but when I tell people about it, I get a storm of criticism (laughs).
My parents told me to save money because it will cost money after marriage, and when I showed pictures to girls I dated, they said, "These wings are a donkey," "I don't like the yellow calipers," "You'll attract more girls with your current car," etc. (laughter).
But I am very happy in the moments when I am thinking about getting what I want, and I don't think I would be unhappy getting something that inspires me so much emotionally as an adult. What I'm trying to say is.Doing what you love gives you the power to live and leads you to your ideal life.We believe that the
And I am very lucky to have partners and friends who affirm such a way of life. I also plan to drive a Porsche 911 Turbo in the future.(Mr. Shunta)

This spring, I became a Porsche owner, which I had longed for, and the model is981 Boxster GTSI noticed that the car model is the same as the one owned by Mr. and Mrs. Mina, and I feel a sense of affinity with them (laugh).
I bought a Porsche and am spending my days happily enjoying the spring weather, lol.No matter how many times I drive, I am most excited when I go to see my car and start it up!(lol) I also go to Ashiu Driveway, so if you have a chance, please let me know. m(_ _)m(Aki)

About Porsche

I'm just a passing Porsche lover guy. The Panamera is certainly a nice car. ButMercedes is still a better car for everyoneI think this is what I mean. When you put those items such as performance, ride, ease of use, style, etc., on a graph such as a hexagon, for example, you can see that theMercedes still outperforms its rivals in total area in every series.This is the image of
In contrast, thePorsche is still the prominent driving partThe image is that it is a Mercedes, but as for the rest, it is not as good as Mercedes, although it is of a higher dimension.
Mercedes is not very amazing or impressive when you test drive or own one, is it? Yes, they are really ordinary. But it's hard to find a car where everything is normal.
The sporty performance is good, but the ride is not comfortable," "The interior is a little bit cheap," "Sound insulation...," "Small turning..." and so on. The process of eliminating these small stresses is what makes a Mercedes a Mercedes.Mercedes is the ultimate higher level of normal.Hence, when you test drive or buy a car, you are not really impressed. But you will know when you let go of it and drive another car. I think that is the beauty of Mercedes.
I have been driving a Carrera for many years, but my daily driver changes from time to time. But what I can tell from driving various cars is how great Mercedes is. The Panamera Love is wonderful. But really, if you get to know various cars like your husband does, you may learn more about the Panamera, or you may even change your view of other cars.(A Porsche lover passing by. Mr.)

I always enjoy looking at your site. The other day, for the first time, I took my elderly mother (68 years old) for a trip to Haneda Airport in my beloved 991 Carrera 4S for about an hour and a half each way in the passenger seat, and she, who has no interest in cars at all, surprisingly said at the end, "I'll be back in the car in a few days.Amazingly, my body didn't hurt at all! Porsche is amazing!I remember saying to myself, "If that's the case with a 911, then the latest Panamera must be even more comfortable and wonderful.(Ao)

I have actually been thinking a bit seriously about whether or not to purchase a new one. Mission E. I paid my car tax early the other day.My996 is a 2000 model, which is 19 years old, and they gave me something like a 15% additional measure, which is $66700.Looking at the bookmark attached to the payment slip, the ECO car tax credit is a big deal, as I knew it would be.
Mission E(Taikan)I guess the tax break is still available for the new Porsche. I hear that the performance is also very Porsche-like...I might buy one.(shinomiyannjp)

lumbago

I came here looking for an article on the Boxster Spyder and have enjoyed reading it from the beginning. I myself have been sitting in front of a PC almost all the time at work. I have been driving 60,000km a year for about 6 years. At one time I had a back injury and had to sleep with a compress every day.
I had been going to a sports club for about 20 years, but I was in a bad situation because I had a lot of gickets.Balance between abdominal and back muscles is important.I heard thatEvery backstage platform since then.(a slanted platform at about 45°)The back pain stopped immediately after I started working out with theI was very pleased with the results.
This may be due to the fact that I trained only the abdominal muscles and did not do back muscles, but I am keenly aware that muscle strength around the waist decreases with age, so it is important to train with awareness.(Sakon)

manual transmission vehicle

In the end, after much deliberation, I decided on the WRX STI. In fact, I decided on the Subaru WRX STI almost on my own while my family was back in Japan. After returning home, I drove the car and my impression was, as I had imagined, "It's a great car.I can't ride this for long distances.It was a "no-brainer". The suspension was stiff, but it was fun and I was personally very satisfied with it. For the first time in a long timeHeal & ToeIt seems that people who are addicted to Subaru are called "Subaristi".I can see why people are into enthusiast car making, including horizontally opposed engines.Somehow it seems to have something in common with Porsche.
Oh, and...Mazda3I had a test drive. I had a chance to test drive this car, and my impression was "hmmm..." The design and interior are the best in this class. The design and interior are the best in this class, but the 2L Skyactiv G engine is inefficient, and the lightness of the doors makes them feel unreliable = lack of rigidity."Beyond Golf!" is a lantern article...(SN)

When I say "my family," I mean that my son and I are solely responsible for the car.(We couldn't let go of golf in our house. lol)I was thinking that the configuration of the car is similar to that of the "M" and was secretly hoping that I could learn a lot from you about MT.
You don't have to think too much about the clutch.The only difference is whether it is your clutch or someone else's clutch.
I have about 60,000 km on my commuter (Avapun Evo) and only about 6,000 on my GT3, but my current clutch is fine as long as I don't make any extreme mis-shifts. I hope to see you driving your BM MT in Ashi Ari again.(TONO)

It sure would be cool to see a woman dashing around in a MT! My recommendation is exactly the same as your husband's: "If you can find a Golf GTI with an MT that has not been modified to any degree, or a BMW 3 series RWD MT, it would be a good place to learn the basics. The Golf R also has a MT setting.
I would like to buy a 4-door MT BMW 3 series (E90) that just recently got a new model. And if you want a Porsche with a MT that can seat 4 people, the late Cayenne (957) V6 bare Cayenne and GTS, and the early Cayenne (958) V6 bare Cayenne with MT were available!Elemental Panamera with V6 of the previous generation Panamera (970)too lol!(Ingenieur)

As with any car, it takes some effort to get a good clutch connection that you are not used to. I too was embarrassed the first time I stalled at an intersection. My previous M5 had paddle shifters and the only manual at home was a light truck.
I remember one of my seniors (female) in college belonged to the car club and it was cool to see her driving a MT Laurel (a car favored by motorists in those days), driving smoothly through the mountain roads of Rokko at night. Keep up the good work!(Possible)

GT3

The car was delivered earlier on April 27. I am very jealous without wings because I want to drive it every day. In my case, there is a little step in the garage and the front is OK with the front lift. The 997 3.8 GT3RS had no problem, but the 991 has a rear diffuser that rubsI'm not sure if there is anything I can do about it. I think there are some parts of this kind of car that can't be helped, but it bothers me every time, so I'm thinking of removing it as I've seen in other blogs. I think I'll take it off as I have seen in other blogs.
Take care.Also, the clutch is very light and much quieter than the 997-1GT3.It is. I am a little sad.(Mr. 991-2 GT3 MT)

This supercar looks like it would fit in well even if used for commuting, sigh, it's so wonderful. If you simply took the wings off a regular GT3, it would seem to lose balance when driving, but I wonder if the Touring has some kind of device that allows it to balance at high speeds without the wings.
This is a really valuable unit, as it may be the last combination of NA and MT even if there are similar successor models in the future. Personally, I am interested in the feel and durability of the PCCB. I look forward to reading your husband's review in the article.(Mr. Ishi)

tire

I drive a Macan and have a "Porsche tire gurgling is not a defect.I thought it was completely faulty until I read the article in "The Faulty Car". Every morning when I parked my car at work, I cringed at the sound and the resistance I felt in the steering wheel, but I was afraid to go to the dealer because I was afraid they would say it was a problem. (lol).
I am very much looking forward to your updates as I don't know anyone around me who is a Porsche owner.(euukie)

Ps4s are really good tiresI think it's a good idea. But I like Conti and Eagle f1 because they are too good and I have to rely on tires to drive.
Knowing this, the subsequent conti sc5 also came out very wet as well.Pirelli is not good in the wet.I think it's a good idea. Dry is fine, but dry also has a different image with softer sidewalls than others.
However, the Cup 2, including the GT3, was kind of a bummer if you didn't heat it up properly, and now that the ps4s is out, the benefits of wearing the Cup 2 seem to be lessened.That's how versatile ps4s theory is.W I personally like the shakiness of the conti...
Also, used Ferrari's are not driven at all, even if they have been owned for 2 or 3 years, and they have mileage of 5000km or so, so the dealer says they are fine because the tires still have some tread on them...
Tires that are not ridden at all are already hardened, so they are uncomfortable to ride on, don't feel grounded, and are dangerous dangerous.And.
For those who buy used cars instead of new ones, I always tell them to get new tires. If the car has been used for a long time, they should change the suspension bushings as well. Otherwise, they will never understand Porsche. Tires are really important.(Mr. Kurmania)

Caring for the top

There are certainly many theories on how to care for a convertible soft top. I live in an apartment complex where I do not have access to a car wash environment, so I usually have my soft top washed by a car wash company (Kee-X-La-X). I have observed that the soft top is washed in the same way as the body part.It is not a high-pressure car wash, but after washing with foam shampoo, rinse off with water.I am here.
Then, once it was lightly wiped down, the targa top was opened and the water left in the crevices was wiped off. The finishing touch was dusting with a corocoro. As I was writing this, I was thinking that the soft top part only needs to be dusted with a dusting brush (laugh).(Rumba Rumba)

Touring, travel

I have been looking forward to reading your touring report. The weather in the first half of this year's GW was bad, and I was also rained out in the west, but I am even more excited to see you driving around the Tohoku area with the top down, probably around DAY 3.
By the way, I would never say "Touring MasterI'm not a "drive-by" guy, just an old guy who likes to drive. Please bear with me (sweat).(WATA)

Nice to meet you. I can't help but comment as the Tateyama IC came up in my neighborhood. LOL I drive a Mazda Roadster and have never had a Porsche in my life.Convertible, family, 2 children...I came across your site when I was searching for information on "the Internet," and I have enjoyed looking at it since then for various references.Wide-area agricultural roads in Toyama(Everyone says it's a super farm road)The Tateyama - Kurobe area has a few traffic lights and a fair amount of traffic, but I think you will enjoy the ups and downs and corners. If you have a chance to pass through Toyama, please do so!(YUKE)

We are in the middle of GW, and as I was returning to Tokyo from Nagoya by Shinkansen, I was fantasizing about my next trip. I was thinking that my next trip will be after my Panamera is delivered, and I would like to go somewhere far away by car, and I thought, "Oh, there is a ferry! I googled "Panamera" and "ferry" and this site came up again!
However, theI usually take the ferry even if it's a Panamera.I see. I was worried that it might be a little cramped. From Tokyo, I can go to Tokushima or Moji, so Kyushu is good! I would especially like to go to Yufuin. Amakusa would be nice too! Ship in the sky sounds good! I will refer to it.(J11050)

Other

The mechatronics problems that happened to our Golf were basically no other way than to replace the assembly, and in fact, without warranty, the problems were of a fairly serious nature, ranging from 800,000 to 800,000.
Actually, my brother drove the last model of the Golf 6.Last month, just before the 100,000 km mark, the DSG had to be completely replaced due to transmission trouble.The latest fad? I had switched to a Scandinavian manufacturer of Dry DSG(Ask your husband. lol)It seems that the structure of the Golf 8 is quite difficult in some cases. In that sense, it might be wise in a sense to let go of the Golf 8 at this time when the price is still available before it lands.
We are also in the process of selecting a car for our oldest son's first car, but we are not sure if we can rely on it as much as we want to drive it all the time. I'm looking forward to hearing your progress report!(nave)

Saw the recommended Grand Tour. Interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. The three people on the program and I are of the same generation, so the images (and sounds) of 917 have been in my head ever since I saw Le Mans in all its glory at the movie theater. Mr. Dickie Atwood.(although Richard's description of the book at the time is more fitting)I had never seen Mario Andretti driving before, but now I am not surprised that at 78 years old, he is still going strong, and I feel that I can enjoy his driving for another 20 years or so. In the U.S., Mario Andretti(Driver of a two-seater car in IndyCar racing)In Japan, Kunimitsu Takahashi is the same age. Mr. Helmut Marko of Red Bull fame(He won Le Mans in 1970 with a Porsche 908 (3rd place) and 1971 with a 917.seems to be about three young.(PorscheDreamer)

Porsche Life

In the beginning, I did not receive any comments on my blog, but now I receive comments like this every day from everyone, which is very encouraging. I hope to continue to provide a variety of information about Porsche, cars, and car life in the future, and I look forward to your continued support.
