How to use the search when connected on Apple Carplay?

When I connect into Carplay my options are Made For Me, Favorites, Podcasts and Radio. How do I search for a song?

 

ATM I need to unlock the phone, search and favorite the song to be able to find it on CarPlay, since the Last Played feature don’t show anything on CarPlay.

Hey, this is the Portuguese community, go to the website https://en.deezercommunity.com/ to access the English community.

I was able to “search” in Deezer using Carplay with Siri. Try to call Siri in your car and tell her/him to play song xyz from abc in Deezer. But to be honest, that doesn’t work always :/ Sometimes Siri tells me that option is not available within Deezer, which is really odd.


Therefore I switched to Spotify, because it offers a button withn its app when in CarPlay mode.

Then you press that search-button and Siri gets activated, then you’ll just tell her what to play.

It could be that easy for Deezer and I don’t know why they don’t implement it….

Hello @typ_mit_gitarre unfortunately, there isn’t a search button on Carplay to search music. 

The workaround is to use voice control Siri.

Nevertheless, this can always be converted to an idea to have in the future. 
Just for your information, I noted that you have accessed the Portuguese Community, but in the future, it will be easier to answer your questions here in the English Community.

Foi escrito em inglês minha dúvida porque eu não sabia que tinha suporte em pt-br e não achei ninguém falando sobre antes.

E passado quase um ano e ainda não colocaram uma feature de busca no principal sistema embarcado kkkkkkkkkk

IDK either, when I asked this question I really didn’t believe that such a basic feature wouldn’t exists already.

Hi @MtsF, I understand that it can be disappointing to know that a feature you find useful is not planned for implementation in our app.
There are several reasons why a feature might not be implemented. However, here are some of them:
-Certain features are not compatibility with all devices, 
-Some features may not be implemented if they conflict with Licensing and Legal Considerations agreements.
-Some features may involve complex technical challenges that require extensive development and testing.

  • A search bar is incompatible? We are back to 1980!
  • Waze has a search bar in CarPlay. Apple knows they are criminals? 
  • Search for a music is (or at least should be) a core feature of your software. Maybe next update you could disable the button to play a song because is too hard to do it. 🤡

 

And it already exists on the app, I'm not asking for a new feature, It already exists.IOS and Carplay uses the same Swift language, there's no new development here. If you tell me that Deezer choose to put a button "podcasts" instead of a search, I'll believe. Because that's probabely the only reason, since IT ALREADY EXISTS on the app.

I understand that, as a CM, you probably don't have the details and just presume it's way too hard to do it, so you should escalate this to a dev team. Or send me a sr engineer offer and I'll be happy to help.

Olá @MtsF infelizmente de momento, não existe no planeamento para o Carplay a adição dessa funcionalidade que já existe como mencionou no aplicativo para celulares iOS.

Por agora a alternativa é mesmo usar os comandos de voz pelo Siri.
