Default IOS 9.2.1 the problem?

All of a sudden when I get a text and hit the center button, the text plays but, the DIC goes to "phone" mode, and not the "info" mode it had been in previously. I then have to change it back to "info".

That, along with the infotainment going to Bluetooth after a phone call comes in, and then I have to change back to "media" or Siruis manually.

Anyone else with these problems? Fixes?

Haven't seen the text problem, but the infotainment issue after a phone call first showed up in 9.2. Several others have chimed in on this issue. At the moment, there is no fix other than downgrading back to something prior to 9.2.

Isn't it a wonderful world when a cellphone upgrade jacks things up in a cars?

Yes, tell Apple their 9.2 update has screwed up the infotainment systems in multiple vehicle brands. Apple is in denial.

I've read on here that if you turn Siri off then it will stop the phone from hijacking the audio, meaning it will stay on XM if that's what you had it on before. I haven't tried it, so I don't know what the behavior is. I found this post (there are a bunch of threads on this):

My fix is to go back and drop 9.2.1 it fouls up my SS also.

9.3 beta 3 fixes most of the problems but there are still some HFP/bluetooth issues. But at least you can use Siri and phone calls go back to the last mode you were using.

Default Partial fix

For what it's worth, I found that changing the "call audio routing" in the iPhone to "Bluetooth headset" from "automatic" doesn't mess up the settings on the DIC as before. I don't know what, if any, other complications it will create as yet, since I haven't had a chance to mess with it.
