The latest major CarPlay major revision was released as part of iOS 13, which was delivered to accepted iPhones in September. Undoubtedly, the biggest change in this update was the introduction of a dashboard that gave users quick access to predefined applications such as Apple Maps and calendar.

But, as with all Apple ecosystems, this dashboard came with its own set of limitations, so despite CarPlay accepting third-party navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze, only Apple Maps data can be displayed on the dashboard on board.

iOS 13.4 beta, however, includes codes that suggest this is likely to change once this particular version reaches the production channel.

First of all, this iOS update introduces CarPlay support for third-party navigation apps for the dashboard. What this means is that, starting with the release of iOS 13.4, you should be able to choose any other third-party navigation app for the dashboard, be it Google Maps or Waze, as long as the app itself supports this feature.

It goes without saying that Google and other third-party developers would rush to add dashboard support, so it won't really take long until you can configure Google Maps and more in multi-pane view.

Then, this update introduces new call controls for Apple CarPlay. Technically, with the release of this update, the calling card will support several modes, including large and small, to better fit your multi-panel dashboard. It all depends on the information displayed on the screen, so CarPlay automatically chooses the appropriate setting based on the data displayed by the navigation, calendar and HomeKit applications.

While all these improvements are on the way to your iPhone with the release of iOS 13.4, you can try them right now by installing the beta.
