CarPlay switching sources automatically So clearly this is an Apple issue going on for years with NO fixes. The most recent question about it was a while ago therefore I am starting it again. I really hope there is a fix… Picture this: I am listen to the radio (local or XM). If my phone is connected to CarPlay and I open up an app (any social media app, news apps and even my camera app, among others), it immediately switches audio sources to my phone away from the radio. I do NOT want this to happen. Anyone know of a fix? This did not happen in my 2018 Nissan. And it did not happen in my 2024 Toyota until about two months after I bought it. and I have also upgraded my phone since it started to an iPhone 15. I have tried going in to shut off Bluetooth to those apps that cause it but there is no option to do that. I have reached out to both Apple and Toyota. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Jen

Apple CarPlay does not have a separate app but is part of the iOS and exists in the Settings app.

Open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ CarPlay: Here, you can check and see whether your car is listed. You can always go into the Settings of your car's infotainment system and add your iPhone again to the car's CarPlay option.
