Hi folks,

 

I've noticed since that last iOS upgrade (14.x) when I connect my iPhone to CarPlay, it “loses” (or mutes) the radio channel and I have to manually select the radio channel again for sound. 
 

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

 

Cheers,

 

Sean

I’ve noticed this too so you’re not on your own.
 

No fix that I know of unless it comes in an iOS update.

New iOS 14.1 released so might be sorted.... but I have to wait until my business phone is allowed apply the upgrade before I’ll know.... 👍

iOS 14.1 doesn't make any diverence, still mutes the radio

Just done the iOS 14.2 update.

Radio muted when I initially plugged the phone in to the USB however it hasn’t done it since (even after leaving the car and coming back to it later).

 

Anyone else confirm if this is fixed for them?

Here the same. I think its fixed now with IOS 14.2

Running 14.2 iOS but still an issue. When connected it launches Waze and radio mutes.   Have to enable radio as mentioned in first post.  Now have it set that it just connects to CarPlay without launching any apps. Radio works (i.e. not being muted).  However it then mutes the radio when I launch Waze or Google Maps..... 

@SeanG I spoke too soon, issue is still there.

 

How do you stop it from launching apps once it’s connected?

I have noticed this, does it on my aftermarket radio in my other car so definitely iOS based. I narrowed the culprit down to Waze. I think the only way to stop it auto launching is to force close the culprit app before connecting.

I got the same mute issue when also using Google Maps but agree it’s most likely an iOS issue.  When I connect now, I get the “home” icons screen on the car radio display so it doesn’t auto launch any apps. Before I disconnect the phone, I also press the home screen button on the display so it’s like that next time I connect.  More a workaround that a solution but at least when I launch wave from the screen icon it doesn’t mute at the moment.
