    CarPlay not picking up on microphone

    Hello! I’ve been having an issue with (wired) CarPlay since the first beta of iOS 18 where Siri can be invoked successfully by either the wake word or by pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel, but Siri then just pauses and doesn’t pick up on any audio from the microphone...

    Whatsapp Business and Siri

    As of 10 days ago and even with the newest 18.1 beta, I still can't ask Siri to send a message to a person using WA Business. Siri responds that the person doesn't have WA messages active. The chats are fine and you can start one or follow a conversation without a problem. I use Siri with...

    Waze and CarPlay working again

    The latest 18.1 beta brings back touch screen functionality to Waze in CarPlay. Since the last version, the reports button or the alternative routes wouldn't work. All the other functions were fine, like searching and even overview of a route. Now everything is working again. :)

    CarPlay Wireless CarPlay Head Unit Recommendations

    Looking to get a Wireless CarPlay head unit, and was hoping to have some recommendations. Prefer double DIN, but could be single DIN for a floating display. Would really like it to have a volume knob. If no volume knob, prefer physical buttons over touch buttons. I want quality audio. Flexible...

    CarPlay CarPlay no longer announcing notifications

    Hello Everyone, I am posting here, hoping that some of y'all have some ideas that could help. Ever since the last iOS 17 update, notifications while my iPhone 15 Pro Max is connected to CarPlay are sporadically being suppressed. It is like I have driving focus on, to block everything. I have...

    CarPlay routing incoming calls to iPhone, not car speakers

    This has been driving me pretty crazy. If I make an outgoing call, the audio goes through the car speakers as it should. If I get an incoming call, audio is routed to the phone every time. Anybody else having this issue? I've read the recommendation to make sure incoming call routing is set to...

    CarPlay doesn’t play sound

    Hi, with my Skoda Enyaq CarPlay connects and works fine. With one exception: all sound is played on the iPhone - music, podcasts, teams, phone calls. Anyone else has this problem?

    iPhone 15/Plus iPhone 15 gets very hot with CarPlay (iOS 17.4)

    Hi! I have a brand new iPhone 15, the latest iOS 17.4. Using it with CarPlay (wired, using USB-A to USB-C cable that came with my e-book reader, but that should be an issue) the phone gets extremely hot. Before I was using iPhone 11 with the same iOS version and the phone was almost cold. I...

    CarPlay cancels connection when iPhone battery below 50%

    Wired CarPlay has been finicky for both my 15 pro and my wife’s 15 on both of our cars (vw group). If you slightly move the cable car play disconnects. I have tried at this point more than a dozen of cables from apple's official one, to thunderbolt 3,4, usb 3.1, usb 2.0. Really anything. The...

    Wired -- or reliable wireless -- Remote?

    Does anyone know of a reliable solution for controlling audio on an iPhone in CarPlay? My van lacks dedicated FWD/REW buttons on the steering wheel. I picked up a bluetooth media button and it works...sometimes. It works great if the iPhone display is on, but once it turns off, it can take...

    Apple Music How to play downloaded music?

    It’s crazy I have to ask this, but that’s the sad sad state of Siri today. I have 8 Gig of downloaded Apple Music songs on my iPhone and want to play them in my car using Siri. I have toggled off “Mobile Data” for the Music app. Can someone come up with a Siri request that will actually...

    Apple music Lock Screen widget remains after using CarPlay.

    Maybe I’m just missing something but every time I use CarPlay (wired) and listen to music, when I get out of the car I will have the music widget on my Lock Screen with the song paused. I can’t get rid of the widget even if I go into running apps, Apple Music is NOT running. To remove the...

    Doing anything on iPhone causes CarPlay radio to start (Hyundai / Kia)

    We’ve been experiencing an odd issue with our new 2023 Sonata, which has the factory stock touchscreen head unit. When connected to an iPhone via CarPlay, regardless of if it’s wired or wireless, if we do something like take a picture, enabling the camera automatically activates the microphone...

    CarPlay CarPlay Dock (The one on the screen, not a phone holder)

    I've got a gripe with how the Dock functions in CarPlay. I wish it would stay the same and stop changing based on the apps I've interacted with. This is the way it works: The top icon is for navigation, the middle is for audio and the bottom is for communication (but also Settings shows up...

    Glitchy Carplay maps since iOS 16.6.1

    Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else so curious if I'm the only one with this issue. Since the update to 16.6.1 last week, I've been having glitchy maps in CarPlay like the image attached. As I continue to drive, it's almost like it's clearing the map tiles from memory too early because the...

    CarPlay Apple Music sounds distorted / Crackling

    Hi , I've using Apple Music & CarPlay for a while and recently picked a Skoda which came with inbuilt 8 speaker setup & woofer. Almost every 3rd song starts sounding as if the speakers are unable to handle the music ( It starts to Jarr ) . Now the same tracks on Spotify & Amazon music play...
