Hi All
Took my truck on a 16 hour round trip interstate a few days ago. All went well but I've noticed either a bug or I've got something set up/doing it wrong with Apple Carplay.
I went to a gas station and had my phone plugged in via USB cable. Being away from the truck and with it shut down I locked it with my phone still plugged in. No worries I thought.
The first time once I unlocked and started it up the Spotify music would now only play through my phone and not the truck. No manner of shutting down my phone, disconnecting, checking everything would fix it. Carplay was showing on the screen but playing on my phone only. Eventually after multiple restarts of my iphone I got it to work normally.
Thinking it was just my iphone playing up, on the way back I forgot to disconnect and again locked and unlocked the truck with it still connected via USB. This time on start up I got the bright blue screen of de@th only where the carplay section was (side screen was still white) and every tab/page on the left side had the bright blue background. I could not make out writing as it was almost the same colour of the blue background on eg AM/FM/Sirius radio buttons
I turned the screen on and off to no avail, and nothing of restarting or reconnecting the USB/turning off wifi would change it. I was however able to play Spotify music through the truck sound system by using the iphone screen.
The only thing that fixed it (at the next stop) was disconnecting the phone and LOCKING/UNLOCKING the truck..... then everything was normal again..... a bug or am I causing something?
Thanks
