CarPlay Maps zooming in and out with wireless carplay

[patseguin]

My brother just had a Kenwood system installed in his Subaru Forrester. Nice big 10" and it supports Wireless Carplay. When he uses Waze or Apple Maps, the GPS is inaccurate and it shows his position off the road and the map zooms in and out over and over. He took it back and they "uncoiled" the gps antenna wire and placed the gps on the dashboard. He just started using it and he said GPS worked out for a minute or so but then started doing the same thing. Is this a common issue when using an aftermarket wireless carplay unit? I watched him pair the phone with Bluetooth. Does he possibly need to be doing something else like connecting to wifi?

Wireless CarPlay is a combination of bluetooth and wifi. You don't mention which Kenwood he has but there is a good chance that pressing the "Voice Command" button on steering wheel will start CarPlay setup.

It's not a problem setting up carplay. It is set up. Just navigation does not work right. Zooming in and out and inaccurate.

For zooming in and out. Go to settings in Waze app, map display and turn off auto zoom. It should also correct most of the off road problem. Google maps doesn’t have a setting to turn off zoom.
