Hi, A couple of things to mention. First, when using the keyboard detection app, it usually asks for you first to press the key immediately to the right of the left shift key. That should be the “z” key. Next it usually asks you to press the key immediately to the left of the right shift key

Basic troubleshooting. Remove all the extraneous variables, and see what results you get. Next step would be to try a different USB keyboard and see what happens. - Brad - On May 17, 2020, at 20:23, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries wrote: It's worth a try, Brad. I'll do it and report whet

It's worth a try, Brad. I'll do it and report whether it makes a difference. The whole point of the setup is to minimize the amount of input hardware cluttering up my desk.I go back and forth between all three machines frequently, probably several times an hour. Janina Brad Snyder writes: > Have

Come to think of it, I haven’t really tried since iOS 13 came out so I might have to give it another go. Actually I’ll just turn on Voiceover on my wife’s phone next time we get into the car to see what happens. > On 18/05/2020, at 12:38, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi Petr

Hi Petrus, As I mentioned in the other thread, we have the 2019 RAV4 Hybrid, and VO voice will remain going through the iPhone and the music and audio book stream will go through the vehicle audio system. I believe that it is normal to work this way. Similar to when connecting your iPhone to

Hi, In our 2019 RAV4 Hybrid, CarPlay is now available, but not via Bluetooth. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth, but it uses the Toyota In-Tune app instead of CarPlay. CarPlay is only available when plugged in via the USB port under the front panel of controls. My wife and daughter us

Ours is a 2018, not sure if anything has changed in the newer model but I lose VoiceOver with bluetooth as well. Unless there is something in the audio settings in the car we can change. But not really that bothered as my wife doesn’t like music or audio books while she is driving as it is too

Yes, we only have the one USB port on the dash next to the stereo unit. Unfortunately our Toyota RAV4 does not have Apple car play so I lose Voiceover as soon as I connect my phone to the car. I can’t even seem to get VoiceOver to come through the car speakers, but I’m guessing Apple car play wo

Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense to have a USB port in the compartment of the center console. You can connect a device such as an MP3 or other player which can be kept in the console, and then controlled by the car’s radio. Much better than plugging the MP3 player into the car radio i
