Carplay unconfirmed?!

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

NGL this would be a huge bummer.
When people ask on Instagram if they will come with CarPlay whoever is answering for SM on Instagram says yes.

Ooof, that would be a huge bummer.

All I've heard repeatedly was that they would include it. But, the language has clearly changed for some reason.

I severely hope that this is not a result of their increased collaboration with Rivian (Lack of carplay support, and their war on physical buttons, and electric door handles are the reasons I'm avoiding Rivian).

I have recently seen them answer to questions about Carplay on Instagram that yes the Scouts will have it.

I mean...

Rules lawyering here.

The question was, “any idea if there will be Carplay available?"
The response was, “yes.”

That could be an answer to the “any idea” part of the question, not the “will be Carplay” part of the question.

Could mean:
“Yes, I have an idea if there will be Carplay.”

;)

:P

Sorry. I’m feeling snarky this evening.

Okay no ambiguity here. 😹

RJ has given a fairly legit reason why they don’t include CarPlay but Scout has shown its intent in demo UX, but only time will tell, I only use CarPlay for work, since I use Apple Maps instead of clogging up my address history on my preferred map apps, but I could live without CarPlay personally

That’s the first I’ve heard of that. It’s always been a quick answered yes regarding CarPlay.
And anyone who asks that question on Instagram SM answers yes. I’m not worried. Jamie posted the other day they are working on a revamp of the website. It could just be they are want for then new website design before they update things.

This site is social media. Instagram is for teenage girls, but this is still social media. It’s why I’m not here often; I’m an adult with things to do to provide for my family instead.

It’s probably still to early to be confirming CarPlay, since Scout is still refining the UX, the language changes could be as simple as an attempt at under-promising just in case CarPlay isn’t functioning in the UX or has to be cut because it interferes with something else. However everything up to this point has shown CarPlay is intended to be available in scout
