Carplay driving restrictions on music app
I've noticed after upgrading to iOS 13.1.2 that certain features in the carplay music app are deactivated when the car is in motion. Specifically, you cannot browse music by album, artist, or playlist. The items are still there (e.g., I can still see my playlists) but they are greyed-out I can't select them until the car comes to a stop. When the car is stopped, the music app behaves normally. Strangely, you can still browse and select music by genre and by song when the car is in motion. (iPhone 6s and 2017 Chevy Cruze.)
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug or a feature? Is there a way to turn off the deactivation?
I know that there are some things carplay rightly deactivates when the car is in motion (e.g., keyboard access in some apps) but changing playlists is no more complicated than changing to a different radio station. It makes no sense that just those three items would be deactivated for music selection. The workaround is to grab my phone and select playlists on the device, which is obviously a bad solution when driving.
