I have exactly the same make/model car, that's interesting. Is there no way to update the radio unit without going to the dealer? Seems like such a waste of time. Did they charge you for this?
They did not charge me, no.
Yes, I understand that – but I can update the bloody Radio logos via SD card on my Fabia head unit, so why can't I do the same for the firmware. Doesn't even have to be over the air!
Thanks, I’ll try that although both settings for EQ and sound check are off.
Skoda have a October 2020 software update to their media player that fixed my issue. Works perfectly now.
It’s a head unit firmware issue, not iOS.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Went over all the discussion, and still I have no idea what to do. Please help...
your car radio head unit needs a firmware upgrade. It’s that.
Ask your dealer to upgrade the firmware of your head unit. This works for all VAG cars and I would think most other cars.
Apple does care, but they can't fix your car's electronics.
Why should I have to consider my cars electronics when my old android sound was way better over Bluetooth! At Apple prices it should just WORK!
It should - it's Ford's fault.
Other manufacturers that properly followed the specs do not have these issues.
It's not Apple's responsibility to fix Ford's issues.
I work for a dealership and I’ve checked and updated my radio in my 2019 Cruze and no change.
This all started the morning that IOS14 was installed for me. So NOT THE CAR!! ITS APPLE!!
Change the music setting in ( EQ ) into ( late night settings ) …worked perfect for me
I changed the EQ settings to ( late night ) and …boom freckling disappeared …sound via Bluetooth and wired CarPlay is exactly the same now
