So frustrating, all my families phones (android) connect wirelessly and seamlessly, my P30 Pro (software version 12) wont?? Also a little strange that the Emira creates its own Wifi network, that requires a password that I dont have...anyone else experienced similar issues....help???!!

My Pixel 4a connects by Bluetooth within a few seconds but if I am out for a longer drive and playing music then I have a short usb cable in the arm rest which also works fine and charges the phone

The whole system seems a bit flakey for some people.

Contrary to my previous posts in this thread, I’m still only getting an automatic wireless CarPlay connection some of the time. Other times I need to go into the car’s menu and tell it to connect to my phone.

Btw sometimes CarPlay freezes if I have a phone call coming in via an app. Once it freeze there is nothing I can do even if I force restart the infotainment system and restarting my iPhone.

System full of bugs.

For reference my Toyota Pro ace is very flakey and one cannot listen to anything from my iphone until the connection has been established for several times ie its on off on off and the periods of being off get shorter until the connection holds. Done this with two Iphones. Dealer gives not two shits about it as one would expect.

My Kia Stinger GTS was completely faultless. It connected every time I had no problems with it whatsoever.

The Taycan has a mind of its own from being great most of the time to having a proper wig out and it wont connect at all without a full shutdown of everything and a restart. Unrelated but its also started locking in the charge cable and the removal button has stopped working/lighting up. I emailed the Service manager a week ago and true to form not heard a thing back. If Porsche cant get their shit together no wonder Lotus cant!!!

I feel your Porker pain.

Mrs KJD has a Macan GTS and the dealership experience is never less than hateful.

I’ve only found this since I added the mrs phone to car play she absolutely loves the car “this is much better than the R8” so I figured I should set up her phone. So when I go in I need to pick the phone to connect as far as I can tell.

Got the new iPhone and had quite the time trying to get CarPlay to work with it. Went through the prompts and enabled CarPlay from my phone and nothing. At first wireless wouldn’t couldn’t and only wired did. But soon enough CarPlay didn’t want to connect at all. I walked away frustrated, locked the car and came back 10 min later to find it wireless CarPlay working just fine.

Then it hit me, when I bought the car a year ago, I went through the EXACT same process where I set it up, it didn’t want to work, I locked the car, went to have lunch and came back several minutes later and it just worked. It’s like the car had to reboot itself or something to work. It’s been working flawlessly over a 12 hour drive today. Strange.

CarPlay has always been finicky since I got the car.

Doesn't matter whether I added it through the menus wirelessly, or plugged it into the armrest USB and bound it that way.

If I used it wirelessly the last time the car was shut off, it will usually connect about 50% of the time. Otherwise I have to go into the system connect menu and select the phone and connect it.

If I used a wired connection the last time I used the car, I have to go into the connect menu and click connect 100% of the time to get it working wirelessly.

All around the infotainment is laggy, and pretty poor at this price point.

I would 100% rather the Evora's aftermarket double DIN head unit method so we could replace it with something better later down the line. I miss that about Double DIN. Whatever the car is built with is pretty much what you have forever.

I wish they would come up with an open standard that used a module for the processing and a separate display using a common connection cable. So you could replace the module and just have the same touch screen. Thus keeping the car up to date technology wise while retaining OEM look.
