prior to the pandemic (iOS 12 and 13), i had problems with Apple Maps on my phone (XS and 11 Pro), not going dark on CarPlay until sometimes a few hours after sunset. i could sometimes fix it by manually opening maps on my phone while connected via CarPlay.
fast forward to 2021 and iOS 14.6 (still iPhone 11Pro and my Pioneer 4500NEX) and the problem is not amazingly worse. for whatever reason, my head unit is not automatically going to dark mode after sunset (for the whole user interface)... i can of course force it to be Dark always but the auto detection isn't working although it was working fine in iOS12 and 13.
yet, regardless of the settings on my phone or the Pioneer, i cannot get Apple Maps to go into dark mode on display in the car. Google Maps, as it has before, always works properly so i have solution but i'm frustrated that i can't use Apple Maps at night without it being blindingly white, even though both my phone have forced into dark mode (one would think this would do the trick).
anyone else have this problem and have any solutions?
