ptkdude Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The #1 issue I have is when I go to listen to music through headphones after having used CarPlay, the volume on my phone is turned ALL the way up. Happens every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epsilonkore Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Are you using headphones with a minijack connection or newer Lightening connection headphones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ResortCasual Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 That's Apple's bug as bass_rock mentions. The display and behavior is all on the phone. The head unit is simply responsible for displaying the video feed and sending input back to the phone (mic, touch, buttons, etc). I have folders of playlists too, but I can't reproduce your bug on 8.0.2, unfortunately. Have you tried rebooting the phone or force-quitting the Music app? Strange. Yeah...I have rebooted and forced quit numerous times. Even updated to the 8.1 beta and it still occurred. I have not tried it with the second release of 8.1 yet but will tomorrow. If this is true...I wonder what is different between your phone and mine (iPhone 5s)? If yours are working there must be some secret sauce I can perform to get mine to work too. Are your songs in your playlists local to your iPhone or are they in the cloud like mine are? I don't have any physical music on my iPhone other than the songs that have been downloaded when streaming from the cloud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juicebox098 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 CarPlay Maps View Unusable Are you saying that you cannot switch to the Maps app in CarPlay and have it follow you along as you drive without specifying a destination? What is the current behavior when you to to Maps? Does it show your current location? Does it just sit there and not move? That seems kinda crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forcedfedbug Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hey suri works for me when my phone is inside the glove box. I dont see how it can not use the external mic. It does however work only when not playing music. I have to pause the music and then say hey suri. It does not even work if its playing music at "normal" volume.

tekki Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 if you are in an area that has slow network or congested network or just plain ole crappy LTE, 3G, etc, then Siri will be sluggish, slow to respond and even seem locked up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ptkdude Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Are you using headphones with a minijack connection or newer Lightening connection headphones? Minijack Edited to add: I contacted apple and the technician actually said "I got nothin'" lol Edited October 11, 2014 by ptkdude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drppk Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have the NEX 8000 installed. Before upgrading to carplay, I was able to watch video movies saved to my IPhone 5s. Since the carplay upgrade, I can not get video to play at all, but can only hear the audio. The HDMI heading no longer shows up on the NEX screen. Is this function lost with the carplay upgrade. Does anyone know if it's still possible to play movies from the iPhone after the carplay upgrade? Thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know if it's still possible to play movies from the iPhone after the carplay upgrade? Thanks, Since carplay uses lightning to usb1, and video has to be played via apple a/v adapter to hook up hdmi, you have to choose one or the other. If the lightning cable from the apple a/v adapter was more than charge only, then there is a possibility that you could choose carplay or hdmi, but as of now, it is either carplay or hdmi. I play movies from my iphhone with update. Streaming, ie. Hbogo and movies downloaded on phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drppk Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's puzzling. If I connect the USB/lightning & HDMI cable to the Apple a/v adapter and change the iPhone setting to A/V adapter, I get a USB error. I tried changing to a different USB/lightning cable, but no change. Car play works OK with the USB/lighting cable alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had another thought on this I wanted to run by you. With the way you have your folders organized - do you have a folder with a bunch of songs in it or do you have a folder with a bunch of playlists it it? If I have a folder with a bunch of songs in it it works. As an example my "Recent Purchases" folder works as expected. But I have a folder called "My Favorites" which contains a bunch of playlists of my favorites artists and when I tap on "My Favorites" nothing happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lifeismajik Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have a couple issues that I'm wondering if anyone else is having. 1.) Messages - Siri will, more often than not, repeat an older sent message rather than read new ones. she will ask if I want to hear my messages, I will say yes, and she reads a previous sent message and ask if I want to send it instead of reading new ones. If i say no or even yes, she says she doesn't understand?!? This makes messages pretty much useless. 2.) Random calls - It will make random calls to only one contact completely out of the blue. Yesterday, it made 17 random calls to this contact and I had to explain I didn't know why it was calling automatically. On the plus side, Spotify seems to be working nicely. But I do have the very annoying POP when shut off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
