Just getting to grips with ARC after having to figure out manual port forwarding (all good now though thanks to the helpful instructions on the Roon Community).
+1 for CarPlay (I think it’s perfectly reasonable that it isn’t there on day 1 and comes in a later update - please don’t keep us waiting too long though 
)
One feature request as part of the CarPlay design though: please please have a prominent button to shuffle-play a playlist.
It would be fantastic to have ARC as a CarPlay app (and the Android equivalent)
It‘s supposed to be an app for mobile use, right?
Ease of use and road safety is something to consider. 
I’ve merged your post into the existing Feature Suggestion - and this feature is on the Roadmap…
Are there cars that support Android Automotive/GAS that do not also have support for Android Auto? I can’t imagine that there are. Roon is a small company and I’d vote for Carplay/Android Auto support first t hit the largest customer base. Android Automotive integration can always come later if there’s demand.
+30 here. They already use tidal…
Yet another vote for Android Auto. I can’t use ARC while I’m driving. I can’t see the track info while driving without looking at my phone (illegal in my state). This is not the only use case for ARC, but it is certainly one of the main ones. Will be grateful when ARC and Android Auto play together as it will free me from the tyranny of the thumb drive.
Tesla App please!!
Is there any timeline on Android auto/carplay? Love roon, love arc and appreciate all of the enhancements that have been made, but Arc is very difficult to use in the car.
Yes, there is probably a timeline for CarPlay and Android Auto.
+1 for CarPlay
Let’s hope it comes soon
(post to get rid of the thread from unread)
Wireless CarPlay doesn’t use Bluetooth. CarPlay compatible units, whether aftermarket or manufacturers, have a full wi-fi chipset. The audio bandwidth is exactly the same as a wi-fi connected DAC at home. Bluetooth is used to establish the initial connection, hence a Bluetooth connection is also required.
hopefully soon
Helpful, thanks for your post.
Android Auto please!
Roon Arc on Android Automotive OS ?
hi @Josh_B , @Jeff_Z , @RiMac team (@brian2 ) - I am happy to hear that Roon Arc will support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
I have Volvo car with Google’s “Android Automotive Operating System” which means app’s run in somewhat ‘Android Compatible’ operating environment in the car (computer) rather then on the phone.
Tidal is the only app I use today (Spotify available as well plus maybe few others) for it.
Can anyone confirm if AAOS ‘Roon Arc’ may be added to the roadmap or maybe has been already ?
It is not only Volvo but there are more car manufacturers (Ford, GM and likely BMW i think at least) and being able to stream to my car and have best fidelity possible would be awesome !
thank you for response !
Just a note to let everyone know Carplay has been released as of ARC 1.0.9. Please update via the App Store and everything should work out of the box. Enjoy and as always keep the feedback coming
