So ever since I updated my nex 8000 I've been having audio issues from any source on my phone. I never had issues with pandora, or anything else until I updated.
I've tried new lightning cables, certified. I've tried reloading my phone. Nothing worked so I disabled CarPlay and now my music is perfect
What did you upgrade? Which firmware for the head unit and which iOS for your phone?
It happened with both 1.06 and 1.08 and the phone latest update as well
This sux, just sayin
As a test, have you tried plugging in someone else's iPhone to your unit to see if the problem persists? Conversely, have you plugged your phone into someone else's CarPlay-compatible unit to see if you get the same result? Performing such tests would go a long way to determining where the problem is.
