Amazon Music Unlimited Does Not Work With CarPlay Since iOS 15 Update

It's been fixed in iOS 15.0.2.

You gotta relax man. It’s soft ware. They had a problem they will fix it fast. Oops, they did for 15.0.2. Wow.

Correct not 100% fixed. Turning the phone off then on brings the app back, what a pain

Being a developer and tester, (not for Apple) I can tell you that it is near impossible to test every app that’s available on the App Store to make sure that it works properly with whatever your trying to use it with. Each company is given the opportunity to adjust and program its OWN applications to be updated and work properly with a newer operating system, in this case, iOS. It is up to the developers of that app to make sure it works and that it is also backwards compatible with previously supported version of in this case, both iOS and CarPlay. Unless the developer of the OS has been made specifically aware that something on their end is broken and is rejecting or blocking this is some way, they would then have to find the issue and update it themselves. I cannot remember off hand if my Amazon Music app has been updated post or just before the iOS15 release, but it is possible that for all the apps in the App Store, there are bound to not yet be released updates from those developers to work properly with every aspect of the new OS. And while the app may work as it did before, if something different in the code is ran across and it’s not accounted for or tested properly, you will get what you are seeing. Also, even if the issue is on the app developer itself, usually they will stay quiet about the issue, not update customer service that their is even a problem and from what they can see there isn’t. This way they keep their paying client whilst placing the blame on another. While you can’t get rid of your phone, you can easily cancel a subscription and move to another, thus losing business. Be patient, an update will come from one side or the other and suddenly it will work again. 😁

You can do what someone suggested here already, that is to start the app, play a song and connect it to your car it seems to work that way for now, though it’s a big pain. I hope apple hasn’t done this to beat Amazon’s subscription over Apple music.

Amazon music haven’t upgraded their software to accept or recognize IOS 15.0.1. So I cancelled Amazon Music & purchased Apple monthly subscription and it works great now. Apple is more expensive but it’ll do until Amazon gets with the program.

15.0.2 patch notes claim to fix CarPlay, good luck everyone! :)

IOS15.0.1 Was just relesed, downloading right now, let's see if this issue is fixed, after the install

Agree….seems to work if start music on phone then link to CarPlay. Downloading 15.0.1 didn’t seem to help.

Be patient, Apple is working on a fix, hopefully will be available the middle of October. Software update 15.1 Not 15.0.1

I downloaded 15.1 and Amazon Music works with CarPlay but the Amazon screen goes black. To use Amazon Music you have to turn your phone off then back on

it is all a pain in the neck

It’s fixed in 15.1

Yea go to 15.2 😂

15.1 did fix it for me though. Maybe delete the app and reinstall

Fix is suppose to come by middle of October, was told, by corporate, the engineers were still work on the issue

Yea, definitely has bugs, this is all I get when trying to navigate using CarPlay, have to do all song selections on the phone itself, very annoying. Hopefully Amazon or Apple release and update to fix.
