Pixelated screen using Apple CarPlay

This is not a new topic here, as far as I see, I think it is the right thing to open this discussion for those of you having new generation cars from the VW group:

The Apple CarPlay problems are not only on Honda models. My Skoda Octavia 4 (VW MIB3 Infotainment System) has the same problem.

When using navigation apps (Waze, Apple Maps, Google Maps) on both my iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 7, after a while, the navigation part of the screen is getting blurry.

Both iPhones have the newest updates, the car also. Restarting the iPhones or the car infotainment system doesn’t help.

You can refresh the blurred screen by changing shortly to a car menu and then back to Apple CarPlay. This holds for a while (5-10 Minutes) and then you go again.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

I tried with Ateca on a 20 min drive in a dense city area, zooming once did not help, probably due to big amount of data.

On highway once worked, once not.

Did you zoom in or zoom out? It only works when you zoom out once for me

I really fed up with this stupid screen error. Googlemaps is the best one but we cannot use is properly in our VW cars. :((

Mar 18, 2023 10:55 PM in response to dr_J_uk

do we need to get support from VW servive? Or it will be upgraded automaticallly when we connect our phone to car because car has wifi receiver and can download software on itself.
