I believe that the ICE is making great strides in increasing mileage and power Without shutting off the engine when stopped. This stuff is just BS.
For example, I have an AWD hybrid and it gets great mileage. The move should be to hybrids.
I have found that you need to let CarPlay connect wireless first. I have an Edge and a Mav. In both cars if you plug in first, it won’t get to CarPlay.
So let it connect to car, then plug it in
