CarPlay Issues
I find that the Apple CarPlay feature is inconsistent. At times, wit my IPhone plugged in, the Projection logo on the display does not change to CarPlay. When it does, many times my Amazon Prime Music Playlist either does not display of only a small number of the files display for selection. Seems the system leaves much to be desired. Comments, suggestions?

I use it on my 19 Z06. My issue with my iPhone is I have a new plug and it works when I first get in the car and put my destination in. But my plug does not fit really good into my iPhone because I have had my phone for quite sometime and if you bump the plug it loses it’s connection. I’m going to do a test soon on my next road trip with my wife’s new iPhone. I have 7plus. She has the new XSmax. Going to see if it makes a difference with connection.

Does anyone know if the GMEPP warranty covers updating the software for the head unit???

I deal with stuff like this all the time at my shop. You want to use an unfrayed genuine Apple cable. Or if you must use aftermarket, make sure it says MFI certified. And of course, lint builds up in the phone too, so be sure to check that.

Well I don't have a Apple phone but I use a music player on my Android phone and have loaded albums to the phone from my computer !!! The player only plays 1 album at a time !!! So can't you put a music player on your phone and use bluetooth access to play music once your phone is paired !!! Wayne
