Pixelated screen using Apple CarPlay

This fixed it for me. Waze works fine now without this pixilation issue.

For apple car play and Waze. I noticed an issue where the screen would get all fuzzy randomly.

Go to apple iPhone settings, general, CarPlay, find the car, customize, REMOVE google maps from that list

The point is that it is a VW Software issue/bug.

If i connect I use Apple CarPlay with my son’s FIAT PANDA the issue does not presents.

Had it updated from Skoda today, traveled for many hours and the screen seems to be good, thanks :)

I’ve found a fix for this do a hard reset of the device while still connected to the car via cable

Hi, this problem is not a sw/hw iPhone problem, but it is a VW vehicle software problem - see https://www.t6forum.com/threads/do-you-have-a-t6-1-with-faulty-app-connect.22797/post-625335

I formally reported this today and they escalated the case. I reported it in Spain where I live and I told them there’s a support thread with people.

With my research, I learned that some years ago there was the same issue that got later fixed by an update of the iPhone. We have got to hope for the same I think.

in my opinion, if you could also report this to the support, saying you tried everything in your power, this will be addressed faster. At least that’s what I’m hoping. Before this report it took like 3 calls with them to give up on obvious answers.

I have the issue too. I have contacted Skoda, Apple and Google. Skoda requested more info, so that was positive, I'm hoping they will pick this up properly. Google tried to close the case quickly, which was frankly quite dissapointing.

Based on my limited experience with video codecs, it seems to be an incompatibility there. It seems carplay (google maps) sends data in an incremental format and the car interprets the data differently. This also explains why the problem goes away when you go to another in-car display screen (e.g. home) and go back to carplay. I think somebody already mentioned this before.

Folks, for consideration,

most modern car plants are simply assembly lines compiling parts that can be made all over the world - and not under the one roof.

… imagine (for a minute) that VW, Honda, BOSS and whoever else don’t actually make the hardware (head units) that we have in our cars and that they just buy that tech in from a 3rd party supplier ….somewhere. But that hardware for VW,Honda, Boss, etc .is all the same at it’s core.

Now consider, that Apple do an update - and we all blame apple for our pixelated screens .. when their only responsibility is to make sure that that their update works with “apple” devices …not 3rd party hardware.

The makers of the hardware have already been paid by the car /audio manufacturers to make sure the affected hardware works with a previous IOS and … as I see it, they aren’t too bothered to rectify the situation that now exists without negotiating a really good deal for themselves with said manufacturers.

Other car and audio brands are out there - and they are not experiencing the issue … perhaps their hardware is made by different suppliers.

Sound feasible?

When I switch Back to the car default app and return to carplay I get instantly the correct location on google maps only to start lagging again, so I keep switching in and out of carplay to update my location and keep it responsive

My whole apple play becomes very slow when this pixilation starts. Yes you can rectify it for about 3-4 minutes , but if you’re in a town it can take ages for the system to become responsive and so you miss turnings. Im just not bothering to use Google Maps now , which is bad. I’m just using Waze or TomTom via apple Play and they both seem fine. Apple Maps often takes me to the wrong location so I’ve stopped using this too.

Make sure to contact Apple Support and report the issue.

Same on VW CADDY 2021.

have to press home button to get out of CarPlay and then go back for it to resolve. Issues on Google maps/ Apple Maps/ Waves. Worse when I have multi display on

new ios 16.1.1 and new Google maps 6.43 update does not work. Same Problem.

Apple Maps work fine without any problems.

Maybe the problem can only be fixed by Google Update.

Yes, but Waze is from Google and uses the same "base". Try to deactivate Google Maps and Waze.
