CarPlay doesn’t work in the dash screen

[Shyatic]

Hi all,

So when I start my car, CarPlay connects every time - but occasionally the dash where I see the display for it (not the infotainment screen but the speedometer screen) shows that it’s set to the radio. I can’t swap it to CarPlay and every time I use the next track button it swap to the radio.

I try to manually select CarPlay but it doesn’t work either, and the only real fix is to stop the car, lock it, then walk back and hope it works the next time.

Anybody have experience with this? Just curious if there’s a fix or not.

If you mean "bluetooth connects every time, but CarPlay / Android Auto fails to connect sometimes", it happens on my car too. I just change to Sport mode and drive away.

No, CarPlay connects every time. I can control it on the infotainment screen, I can’t control it with my steering wheel controls. Just occasionally.
