This adapter can make a wireless connection between an iPhone and the on-board CarPlay system.

+100 - Exactly. I don't want to enroll in a course just to operate the damn car. I never learned how to properly operate my Lexus Nav system let alone all the other junk. The adaptive cruise control is great and intuitive as is the collision avoidance and lane assist. Most of the other stuff is so buried in the manual that it is almost useless. The first time I hitched my bike rack to the back, the car slammed to a halt when I tried to back out of the garage. It took me twenty minutes to find the darn instructions for turning off the rear collision avoidance. I hadn't thought about YouTube. I will take a look and see what's out there....The new Ranger has more technology than I care for…Sync3, navigation, SiriusXM, Sirius TrafficPlus, Sirius TravelLink, Apple CarPlay, on-board Wi-Fi, lane assist, Trail Control, multiple cameras, etc. (the owner’s manual is 472 pages long!). It is essentially a rolling group of multiple computers. The technical learning curve has been really steep and most of the best information that I’ve found has been found via YouTube or Google searches . I say this as a retired Chemical Engineer that spent my working career developing software for some of the world’s largest bio-pharmaceutical plants. I can’t imagine how difficult this might be for a less technically oriented person.
It may have been mentioned ... Waze will not operate without cell connection, right? Whereas OEM and offline nav devices can?

To Dash_Man: Does your screen name have anything to do with a car dashboard?
I really like manual windows, manual seats, and the combination of a manual transmission with unboosted brakes and steering with carburetors - now, that was living!
