If Apple/BMW “won’t allow video on CarPlay,” how did rPlayTV do it?

The constant excuse that the manufacturer won’t allow video playback on CarPlay is getting old.
rPlayTV literally does it, and it works very well. So clearly there are ways to implement this.
Instead of blaming Apple or the manufacturer, maybe the dev team should actually investigate what other apps are doing and figure it out.
The technology is obviously there. The question is whether the developers actually want to make it happen.

Build the Bridge, Get My Vote

Honestly, I’ve finally figured out what my election platform is going to be.

I’m voting for whoever promises to build a bridge between Vancouver Island and the mainland.

I don’t care what party they’re from. I don’t care what their other policies are. Show me a bridge and you have my vote. 😂

Because at this point, I simply cannot waste any more of my life sitting in a ferry lineup, watching the sailing disappear, paying a fortune, and wondering whether I’ll actually make it home today.

Forget the debates. Forget the campaign promises.
BUILD. THE. BRIDGE.

My political priorities have officially been reduced to getting off this damn island without having to negotiate with BC Ferries. 🚗🌊

Does UHF support video playback through CarPlay on iOS 27 while the vehicle is parked?

The functionality is supposed to be released tomorrow. Does anyone know when the UHF update/deployment is expected to roll out?

Has anyone else with a 2026 BMW i4 experienced constant “ghost” detections from the parking sensors?

Mine randomly detects obstacles when there’s absolutely nothing there, with constant beeping/noise. It makes driving with the sensors active almost impossible.Curious if anyone else has experienced this or found a fix.

Freedom Mobile Roam Beyond — another very positive experience, this time in Italy (26 Days Total - absolutely no roaming fees)

FREEDOM FOREVER - 40$ 250/50GB

After travelling for the past 24 days through several countries, I wanted to share a final update on my experience with Freedom Mobile’s Roam Beyond.
I’m currently in Italy and have been using Freedom on the TIM network, and the performance has been excellent — strong coverage, good speeds, and very consistent service.

Over the last 24 days, I’ve used Freedom Roam Beyond across Iceland, Scotland, England, Morocco (wifi calling only), Portugal, Greece, Egypt and now Italy, and overall I’ve been genuinely impressed with how well it has worked while travelling.

For comparison purposes, I also had a free GigSky eSIM running alongside Freedom in most destinations. I wasn’t using GigSky as my primary service — it was basically there exclusively to compare the two services side by side. In Morocco, I used the eSIM separately as well.

The interesting part was seeing how closely the two services compared in real-world use. In most countries, Freedom performed extremely well and was often indistinguishable from the travel eSIM in everyday use.

The only noticeable inconsistency was in Scotland and England, where I experienced periods of slower or less consistent data. Interestingly, the GigSky eSIM was also not 100% consistent at the same time, which makes me think this was more likely local network congestion or capacity issues rather than a Freedom-specific problem.

Italy has been another excellent experience so far. Freedom connecting through TIM has been very reliable, with excellent overall coverage and performance.

So, after actually using it extensively across multiple countries for almost a month — and deliberately running another eSIM alongside it for comparison — my overall impression of Roam Beyond is very positive.

For me, the biggest advantage remains the simplicity: land in a country, turn on the phone, and it just works without having to buy a local SIM or manually configure another eSIM.

Roaming Egypt waaaaay better than I expected.

40$ 250/50GB FREEDOM FOREVER

While the service was generally very good, it was somewhat inconsistent in England and Scotland on with GygSky and Freedom eSIM.

In Egypt, however, the service has been extremely good, especially in the Cairo and Luxor areas (5G all the way).

Freedom Mobile’s $40 Plan — Taking the Free Roaming Benefit Around the World !

Off on another 30-day adventure and once again putting Freedom Mobile’s included **50GB international roaming** to good use!

**I am on $40/month with 250GB in Canada/US/Mexico + 50GB international roaming.**

This trip:
🇮🇸 Iceland
🇬🇧 UK — Edinburgh & London
🇲🇦 Morocco — no Freedom roaming agreement yet
🇪🇬 Egypt — Cairo & Luxor
🇬🇷 Greece — Athens
🇮🇹 Italy — road trip

I’ve used the international roaming benefit on previous trips, so I’m curious to see how it performs across another six countries. I’ll report back with coverage, speeds and which local networks Freedom connects to.

**Gotta love a benefit that’s already included in the plan!**

Any updates on Apple CarPlay iOS 27 video playback while parked?

Has there been any progress on video playback in Apple CarPlay while the car is parked?

I know this has been discussed before, but I’m wondering if there have been any recent updates or if it’s on the roadmap.

It would be great to use the car’s display to watch videos while waiting or charging, without needing to use the phone.

Any news from the UHF developers?

Why can’t a household member see all investment account and credit card details when accounts are shared?

I’m trying to understand the logic behind the household/shared account functionality.

If I add a household member and choose to share my financial accounts with them, I would expect that person to be able to see the same level of detail that I can see, especially for investment accounts and credit cards.

Instead, it seems that the household member may be able to see that an account exists, or see limited information, but not have access to the complete account details, transactions, holdings, balances, statements, credit card information, etc.

What is the reasoning behind this limitation?

If the purpose of household sharing is to give both people visibility into the household’s finances, it seems strange to have a “shared” account where one person still has significantly less information than the primary account holder.

I completely understand the need for privacy controls and different permission levels. But there should arguably be an option such as:
View only — full details
View balances only
View transactions
Full access / joint ownership

For couples managing finances together, having to log into each other’s accounts just to see the complete picture defeats much of the purpose of household sharing.

Is anyone else finding this limitation frustrating? Is there a reason the platform doesn’t offer full read-only visibility for shared investment accounts and credit cards?

Has anyone else noticed how long Wealthsimple fraud investigations can take?

I’ve been reading more and more stories from people whose Wealthsimple accounts were flagged for fraud or compliance reviews, and one thing seems to come up repeatedly: the amount of time people are left without access to their money.

To be clear, I’m not questioning the need for fraud prevention. Every financial institution has an obligation to investigate suspicious activity and protect customers. My concern is what happens after an account is flagged.
In many of the cases I’ve read, customers describe:
Being locked out of their accounts for days or even weeks.
Receiving very little communication beyond “the investigation is ongoing.”

Having no estimated timeline for resolution.
Missing bill payments or losing access to funds they rely on for everyday expenses.

For a platform that’s increasingly positioning itself as an all-in-one banking and investing solution, this feels like a significant customer experience issue. If someone keeps their entire emergency fund or paycheque with Wealthsimple, an extended account freeze could create real financial hardship.

I’d love to see Wealthsimple invest more in:
Faster fraud investigation turnaround times.
Better communication and regular status updates.
Temporary access to verified funds where appropriate.
Dedicated case managers for customers whose accounts remain frozen for extended periods.

I’m curious whether this is just a vocal minority online or if others here have experienced similar delays. If you’ve gone through a fraud review, how long did it take before your account was fully restored?

Clean phone holder solution for the 2026 i4

This is by far the cleanest and most affordable phone mount solution I’ve found for the 2026 i4.

I found this holder on Amazon, and I’m honestly surprised by how well it works. The original kit didn’t include a fast wireless charger, but it’s so well designed that it fits most MagSafe chargers perfectly. I added a Qi2/MagSafe fast wireless charger separately, and it turned out even better than I expected.

The first photos show everything that came with the mount. The wireless charger was purchased separately. The last photo shows an alternative that someone suggested—a cable running all the way across the center console. I personally prefer keeping the interior as clean and factory-looking as possible.

What do you think?

Has Anyone Heard If the UHF App Will Support Apple CarPlay?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious if anyone knows whether the UHF app is already compatible with Apple CarPlay, or if there are any plans to add CarPlay support in the future.

Being able to use the app directly through the vehicle’s infotainment system would make it much more practical and safer while driving, especially for those who use it regularly on the road.

Has anyone seen any announcements, development updates, beta versions, or comments from the developers regarding CarPlay integration?

Thanks in advance for any information!
