iTunes audio through CarPlay in iOS 13.1 from iPhone 7 Plus is choppy - wired OR wireless. Like, every other track clips randomly... skips. This happens whether a track is local or streaming. This was all fine in iOS 12.x on the very same hardware. Freshly rebooted all hardware many times. It's almost to the point where I regret the upgrade despite the new features in CarPlay.
Anyone else seeing this?
iPhone 7 Plus
Well, since authoring this post, I upgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max (currently running iOS 13.3)
Not sure if it's just a case of starting over with a fresh phone merely restoring messages and pics from a backup that resolved this, BUT - I no longer have the audio issues - all sounds great.
You all may wish to just try a backup / reset / restore to see if this resolves your issues... because I even took my old 7 plus (after resetting it to factory defaults) and it no longer has the issue either!
Good Luck everyone!
The exact same effect as mine. I feel you!
I went to Apple for the second time, and they agreed to swap a new set (iPhone 11 Pro) for me.
Guess what. STILL SKIPS.
It even skips on my bose headphones, just less frequent.
Have to conclude there's something wrong with the iPhone 11 Pros.
Give up.
I did a complete restore of the iPhone X and set it up as new device - still choppy sound via wireless CarPlay. Then I restored it to my latest backup, but without success either.
I tried my wife's iPhone XS, also that one produces choppy sound.
Hi Everyone,
This issue still persists with me & my 2019 Mini Cooper. However, I did notice that Apple has released iOS ver 13.3.1today which includes this fix:
"Addresses a CarPlay issue that could cause distorted sound when making phone calls in certain vehicles"
I won't be able to test it out today, but perhaps this might alleviate the issue we've been having (fingers crossed).
I have noticed that sometimes I will no issues with the audio skipping through CarPlay. But then I'll stop & start my car and then the skipping will start. The other thing I noticed is that when the audio does skip, it seems like the whole CarPlay interface is lagging at the same time. Not entirely sure what this means or if there's anything we can do to have the whole CarPlay interface perform better.
I'll download iOS 13.3.1 on to my phone and report back if it helps alleviate the issue.
I have a Mini Countryman and my new iPhone 11 Pro is also skipping with playback. I used my iPhone X for over a year with no issue even on iOS 13. Super annoying
