Pixelated screen using Apple CarPlay

Coming from office tonight I have used the Apple native Maps Nav and I haven’t ecountered any issues or pixelation disturb.

In my case the problems appear only using Google Maps (in my opionion the best nav)

I’ve updated it now to the 6.46 versione available on Apple Store.

Tomorrow morning i will try it and will report results.

Keep in touch

Same here. iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.1.1 using Google Maps in my VW California T6.1. Very annoying!

There was a firmware update for my Discover Media Pro a few days ago, but that didn’t fix the issue. Like the last post here I also just update Google Maps to the latest version - let’s see tomorrow (but I doubt it). Have started to use Apple Maps - actually not too bad, but Google Maps still rules.

I keep saying it …. this could be a vw problem not apple.

Most (though not all) on this discussion are vw /vag owners.

I have no such problems with my bmw CarPlay,

I have automatic updates switched off on both my phone and my wife’s.

I’m running the same IOS Software for the last 12 months (15. Something) … and the only update I’ve had was via VW through the sms in the van.

My problem is with my new Honda CRV. I agree that I think it is car specific, but (per my dealership) it has to do with Apple not providing compatible updates for different cars. The advancements in technology creates more room for error if those updates are not aligned to sync up with every other piece of technology that it is supposed to. Could not imagine that I would be dealing with such a basic problem with a brand new phone and brand new car.

In my opinion, both are possible: Apple releasing a bug or car manufacturers not getting ready for Apple's evolution. While it is almost certain that Apple triggered these issues by their release, it's not necessarily their mistake or bug. Although someone here already contacted them and it seems like they have acknowledged the issue.

Definitely, the next move really belongs to Apple. They should really do their best to quickly classify the problem. Because if it is on the manufacturers side, then the manufacturers will take ages before they act without Apple's prompt. I have a feeling that car manufacturers would like to maintain their software just like they maintain their hardware :D

The next move should be done by Apple Corp. For sure. Bcoz these cars are still working smoothly with Android Auto. The trigger here was Apple. I hope they are working already with some developers for the new update

Would it follow that every make of car would have this problem with the current Apple system, or that only certain cars are having the problem? Totally agree that the ball is in Apple's "court" though, it's an issue with their software compatibility with cars.

I've been using apple maps for a week because of this problem and the interface has never frozen or pixelated and it has responded quickly. Is it possible that the problem is with google maps or the carplay sdk is not adapted or improved for other apps?

So a week ago I got an email from VW we connect that the issue is with iOS16 (even though I had been explaining that it started happening before ios update)…

I kicked off but then today I got this..

I really hope there is a solution- I am pretty darn sure the issue started happening after one of vw updates in October

I have the same problem and it is exactly like you have described. After a few minutes after the navigation has started, no matter which navigation app is running, the screen refresh rate goes down making imposible to follow the navigation instructions. The lag brokes the navigation. This is happening to me since iOS 16 and the photo that I am posting is from iOS 16.2 so the bug it is not fixed.

Hope Apple can fix this because it is very frustrating.

I don’t think so, and there is a very simple reason. Before iOS 16 Carplay was working just fine in my car. My car has not changed a bit, iOS has, so it has to be has simple that something has changed in the phone software that has broken map apps.

I hope that Apple is aware of the problem and it is working to find a solution and fix the bug.

It can be the case that Google apps updated, and in combination with CarPlay and Apple software plus some hardware are messing up.

In my case no car updates were made recently, only phone updated itself, Gmaps and iOS.

@Desmoden1 You're confusing two things, an app an Carplay are completely different beasts. One is an app on top of an OS, the other is a complete product with severe limitations. Apps within carplay have to adhere to apple's restrictions, which are severe, with good reason.

Tried the usb solution as I noticed it was on Wi-Fi before finding this thread..for me it worked for less than a minute..the 5g bar was on 3 bars also so it’s not a streaming issue,this is so frustrating,I was a golf mk8 which Vw are having back soon as they can’t fix the very dangerous problem it has of thinking I’m driving on the wrong side of road..ie lane assist pulls me to the wrong side only to perform an emergency stop and it thinks I’m undertaking on motorways etc..again applying the brakes…CarPlay was the only thing working right and now this🙄

Since a couple of weeks ago, Google maps works fine on my Skoda Octavia. When I last checked, Waze was still messed up.

I'm honestly not sure what fixed it. There were quite a few updates to all pieces of this weird puzzle.
