Columbus, CarPlay and Spotify

[nthurrzzz]

Is it possible to play a song from Spotify (via the Apple CarPlay interface) then jump back to the built in Skoda satnav (not the apple maps)?

Or leaving CarPlay and going to Skoda SatNav stops Spotify?

I haven't got my S3 yet but I'm sure I've seen a YouTube vid showing that you can switch.

Yes. Once your audio is playing in CarPlay press NAV on the Columbus. CarPlay remains active in the background. To return to the CarPlay screen you need to select MENU and select CarPlay from the scrolling options - there is no simple shortcut to jump direct from navigation back to CarPlay.

PHONE and MEDIA are not available while CarPlay is active as those functions are usurped by CarPlay.

I tend to press the phone button then the bottom left touch screen button, seems faster than scrolling through the menus.
