Apple CarPlay issues

Apple CarPlay has been driving me crazy. It randomly cuts out. Tonight it would start up, and as soon as I would play a song, CarPlay would disconnect. I updated to IOS 14.1 tonight. I hope that fixes it. I’ll see in the morning.

I may have figured out the issue. I just obtained a 2020 legacy premium and love it. Legacy #6 for me. So, basically car play takes dominion over audio functions. What I did to make it work a lil better is delete pandora and don’t have any other audio type app’s anymore. Works a lot better now. Still audio stops from SiriusXM but just click between CarPlay and back to radio a few times. Still pretty annoying but getting better after getting rid of pandora. Running iOS 14.1 aswell. Also, got rid of the following CarPlay apps in settings, SiriusXM app, Fox News app, CNBC MarketWatch app. Radio app. Mainly just have waze and maps. Only displays 2 icons on the bottom dock after getting rid of all them. Won’t be missed since all the apps are pretty much just audio apps.

Not sure if this applies to Apple car play or apple phones in general but I had some issues with Android auto cutting out while playing music. To resolve the problem I de selected "media audio" in the Bluetooth settings.

No carplay in my WRX, but I had a similar issue with a Forrester loaner car last week and it sometimes happens with Carplay in my Grand Cherokee. It's likely your phone's charging port is dirty and the cable doesn't have a great connection, get a can of compressed air and clean it out.

I like the look of CarPlay since iOS 14.1 update. So far, so good.

I pinpointed the reason why the audio was cutting off for me - WAZE.

I’ll connect my iPhone, click the Waze app in CarPlay and then set a destination. While Waze is navigating and I’m cycling through audio sources (for me it’s: CarPlay, CD [yes I do have a cd inserted], AM, FM, SiriusXM, Bluetooth) that’s when the sound cuts off. It happens exactly after I attempt to cycle past whatever audio is playing on CarPlay. Be it iTunes, Spotify... From CarPlay to CD and then it bounces back to CarPlay - no sound. Turning the Waze app off solves it. Just open the app on your phone and then swipe it away.

All the other navigation apps, including the Subaru one, works fine. If you can live without Waze, you’re good. If not, pray that Waze or Subaru addresses it and comes up with an update. Don’t hold your breath.

Just thought I’d share. I hope this helps.

I just use Apple Maps most of the time now. It’s traffic rerouting has served me well.

Subaru apple car play is absolute trash and their tech team should be sued for the crappy job they did with the implementation.

I had a 2018 legacy and they replaced the whole unit and didn’t fix ****.

I have a bmw now and it’s wireless CarPlay and it’s flawless and no random cut outs!

Subaru needs to fire their whole navigation tech development and q/a department.

Yesterday I disconnected my CarPlay and none of the radio settings would work, Sirius, Fm, etc. So annoying. I’ve even had my radio be on and have no sound through the speakers. Only way to fix it is to turn the car off for about a full minute or two. It’s BS.

Can to reboot the stereo? I have not tried on my 2020 Legacy, but on my Ascent, I would

hold down the power/mute button for 10 seconds until the Starlink logo pops up.
