CarPlay bug
I'm having a problem with CarPlay in my new car that's really ruining the experience for me. When selecting the artists or songs tab on the right-hand side there are two arrows for up-and-down movement. In between these arrows is a an alphabet symbol that brings you to a screen where you can select a letter to view artists or songs that start with that letter.
My issue is that this symbol to bring me to the alphabet selection screen is missing 90% of the time, the area where it should be is blank. Occasionally it will reappear but there's no pattern to it.
One other odd related behavior I've noticed is that when the alphabet letter selector is missing I can only scroll down about 10 artists or songs and then it says "more", when I click that it brings me into Siri. However when the alphabet selector is present I am able to scroll down and look at as many artists or songs as I would like.
This has been happening with my brand-new iPhone as well as the one I had previously. I've been running iOS 9.0, 9.0.1, and now 9.02, they all have this problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this or have a work around?
Thank you!

I haven't even tried the method you described. I just hit the voice button and say "play artist Journey" for example and in seconds Journey is playing or "play song xyz" and that song comes on.

I understand that is an option but that was less than perfect too. Here's one example when that crashed and burned spectacularly;
I selected the artist Meat Loaf. I have all of his albums on my iPhone including Bat Out Of Hell 1, 2, & 3. In particular I wanted to play Bat Out Of Hell II so I told Siri "play Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell 2", every single time it went to the first song on Bat Out Of Hell 1. So then I changed the Siri command to "Play Bat Out Of Hell T W O". I spelled out the number 2. Her response? "Now playing Bat Out Of Hell 3!!!!" It consistently did this every time. In the end I never got Bat Out Of Hell 2 to play but it did ultimately give me a laugh.
I find that the alphabetical selection option is the most convenient and direct access method to my music. But I simply can't use it 95% of the time because the option is missing.
