Apple Music Causes Carplay to Crash

Sames as others. Brand new iPhone 13 Mini plugged in for CarPlay works fine on everything until I select music which played for about two minutes. Then it stopped with a frozen screen I had never seen before. Can play music through car system if I select it on the phone even with frozen CarPlay screen. All other functions work. iOS 15.1..1. When is Apple going to fix this?

Hello perseus06,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you’re unable to play Apple Music in your car because CarPlay crashes. We are happy to help.


Do you have a firmware update for your car radio? If you are unsure, we recommend checking your car manual on how to check or the car manufacturer.


Let’s forget your device from your car and reconnect it again using the steps here: Connect iPhone to CarPlay - Apple Support Are you able to play Apple Music as expected? Do you have a VPN installed? If so, please disable the VPN and let us know if Apple Music plays as expected.


Let us know if you have further questions.

I did this with the old iPhone X. and of course did it with the new phone. No joy. This is an old problem apparently. I saw an earlier thread from March or April of this year with the same complaint and no smeolution there. I thought I was appending to that discussion, but a new thread opened up. I thought the iOS update last night might fix it, but it did not. The problem on the earlier thread was not isolated to one car. So it seemed to me that it was an Apple problem. I will check with my VW dealer for an update to the infotainment system.


When I first got the new phone I plugged it into the car and it played for 3 or 4 minutes. The music suddenly stopped and the CarPlay music screen was replaced with a menu that does not function. Does not scroll, does not back up and buttons are nonfunctioning. The Apple Music screen on the iphone is just white with no content. No problem going to Maps, Podcasts, etc.


We are also playing musical login. May not be Perseus06 anymore.
