Default iOS 9.3 is Live: Cure for C7 iPhone Infotainment Woes?

iOS 9.3 went live just a bit ago. I'm downloading it now to give it a whirl.

Maybe this helps cure some of the issues in these other threads:

Default Phone Update

I just did the iPhone update and car display now works properly. I guess it was Apple's problem all along.

Finally! It doesn't switch the input to Bluetooth. I tried it through CarPlay and with the phone connected via Bluetooth. I think I'm going to try to make CarPlay work now.

We knew it was Apple's problem from the beginning. Their iOS 9.2.1 update messed up infotainment systems from multiple auto manufactures. Plus, problems started only after iOS 9.2.1 was applied. I've avoided applying 9.2.1. Looks like I can now go to 9.3.

I wonder if the guy who sued CHEVY for his iPod problems will have to give back the money he won.

Outstanding. I had completely quit using my phone in the car due to the annoying BT issues. Plus the exciting "Night Shift"

9.3 got my CarPlay working. Can't believe I wasted a couple hours trying to make it work on 9.2.1. Thanks, Apple....NOT!

It was worse for me. I bought my C7 in December and just tried CarPlay for the first time a couple days ago and just happened to be on 9.2.1. I thought my car was broken. I posted to another thread and no one seemed to know about the iOS issue so I beat my head on the steering wheel for a couple hours in a few sessions trying to get it to work.

FWIW: CarPlay worked in my 2016 Tahoe fine for what it is with the older Ios.. I'm pretty disappointed on the whole.

So far the 9.3 update is working well for me. Now when I'm streaming Rhapsody from my phone while using Waze to navigate, the voice alerts (as well as other phone alerts) will talk over slightly muted music rather than stopping the music and starting some random song from my library.

Can you, or anyone, use WAZE while listening to XM, USB, or another music source, without the system switching itself back to music from the phone after you get a WAZE alert?

I can't. iOS 9.3.1 Car was built 3/27/16.

Since WAZE and CarPlay don't work nicely together, CarPlay is useless for me.

Finally, the only way I can find to reliably select a song from my library is using Siri, or fumbling around with 3-4 inputs on the infotainment screen, which is less than ideal at 70 m.p.h.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
