    in fact, much of CarPlay’s functionality becomes locked while the car is in motion, making that a moot point anyway, lol. the only things left to distract or endanger would be the OEM stuff, as you mention.

      The one unsafe thing in car play for me is the tiny stupid UI element needed to switch betweeen voice directions/alerts only/silent/.

      I will quite often want to switch modes while on a long journey - full directions while driving on backstreets, alerts only while on motorways.

      Have yet to find the Siri command to switch between them. Anyone know of one?

        I mostly use Waze for navigation. And the alerts button setting is pretty small. However I find that just having it on alerts is enough for day to day use.

        It’s true that for new routes I do enable the full guided voice assist

        i don’t use it enough to know, but i think the UI varies a little between vehicles and models, so it may not be in the same spot for everyone-- or even look exactly the same.

        as for a Siri command, you may try something like, “Set my notifications to…” or something like that.
