Pixelated screen using Apple CarPlay

@Juliana1231

I am almost sure that Apple doesn't provide updates for different cars :)

The whole point is to produce one generic and flexible software platform that car manufacturers simply run. And a unified user experience across all brands.

How different car manufacturers technically "embed" Car Play or Android Auto may differ. Some car manufacturers may have tested it also a bit better or way in advance.

I think the worst case would be when the "embedding" is hardware-based only. Then manufacturers will have two choices - replace those modules physically in all cars or beg Apple to make changes on their key technology decisions, to keep it backward compatible.

Out of all options, I really hope it's Apple's bug :)

My car started playing up with both phones- way before I decided to update to iOS 16.

iphone se2020 had iOS 14.x.x and my other iphone 13mini was rubbing iOS 15 at the time.. I only updated to iOS16 in hope it would resolve the issue..

Apple Carplay is a product offered by Apple. They offer minimum requirements for car manufacturers to adhere too so it would work. If it suddenly doesn't work anymore for various brands, they at minimum have a responsibility to investigate and make sure their min reqs for using apple carplay are up to date. You trying to make it seem like they are not responsible or at minimum responsible to help finding a fix, does not help anybody. I think several people (including me) have also contacted the car manufacturer, but that doesn't mean Apple should not (help) investigate this.

@Daften, totally agree with you, the ecosystem is created and maintained by Apple, so they should take the lead in the investigation. And probably I've been lucky @CharlesEA, having at least Apple Maps working. Probably it depends on phone and head-unit combination. I'm suffering the problem before it widespreaded, and it is almost passed a year. The reality is that the end-user experience (me) has been terrible, and I'm disappointed to have been abandoned.

I opened a thread 6 months ago, on Waze Forums, asking a Product Manager to investigate the issue. I'm still here...

However guys, we can still all get back to Nokia 3310. Indestructible, no car integration, no apps, no issues. Nice games.

I have a Honda Jazz , but not an inbuilt media system. It’s a Pioneer after market, so maybe that’s the answer.

My VW Caddy has been back into the service centre and they couldn’t fault find it and were going to contact VW main office to find out more about the problem . But maybe if this is definitely an Apple issue there is little point them having it back in again ???

Experiencing all the same issues in VW Golf Mk8 when using wireless Apple CarPlay. Fingers crossed a solution is in the works from the sounds of people’s experiences with Apple devs. Super useful forum thanks everyone, saved me a wasted trip to the dealer I just purchased the car from.

What a faff for something that shouldn’t even be happening in the first place. I have tried your workaround and it fixes it for about 5 minutes and then it starts all over again and again and again . If I’m in Central London concentrating on traffic and trying to navigate , everything suggested is a compete NO No.

So either Apple have to fix it or VW. I’ve had my car for 18 months and the same IPhone 11 for longer, and up till 2 months ago it was perfect. So why has it all changed ??

I officially reported the bug to Apple today, hope they will help to sort that out between VW and Google. This is not only a software issue, but a general car safety issue as we are a lot distracted while driving!

It appears no one. My car has been into Vw three times and they can’t fix it. So obviously it’s an Apple issue , but they don’t / won’t do anything.

I don’t have any issues in my Honda using it by USB. Just my VW on wireless

If it’s something on the headunit makers side then we can hope that they will be able to figure it out before the cars warranty expire. Last time my car was in the dealership’s repairshop for a 6 hour update cycle - they enabled wireless android auto since the unit was created without the function - they pushed a 30GB update to it, so we can forget OTA. The manufacturers gods help us, they will get there in time otherwise it will be broken forever…

Waze app flakes out on 2019 Honda Accord with iPhone14 Pro as well with latest updates, on both head unit and iPhone, never makes a difference. Did it with my old iPhone XR also with the latest updates.

So everything was working just great. Google maps and Waze 100% and no pixilation.

Suddenly yesterday Google Maps became all pixelated again !!!!!!!

I’d done nothing to either my phone or car !

Just fed up now as it’s been working fine for a couple of months

I have a VW Virtus, and i have the exactly fault… and the dealer said that if for IOS system…

I have same problem iOS 16.01 iPhone 12 Pro and Skoda Octavia 2020.
