CarPlay Audio Issues with 9.x on iPhone 6s+

Have a Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX head unit connected to the 6s+ via USB. Had no issues prior to the 9.X updates using a iPhone 6. Upgraded both OS and Phone and since then have been having problems with either no audio output (thou UI says it's playing) or static (digital noise) screeching my speakers in stead of music. Problem persist on the iPhone after disconnecting and requires a reboot of the phone. After reboot connecting back to head unit works fine (don't need to reboot head unit). This happens almost every other time I connect the phone.


I am currently investigating turning off blue tooth and only using the tethered USB connection, thinking it might be a new conflict between BT audio and CarPlay audio corrupting the audio stack on the phone, but don't have enough data yet to say it makes a difference.


Is this a known bug, have been unable to find any information on the problem.


Not sure this is best place to post, didn't see a CarPlay forum.

Hi,


I have an Opel Astra K with Carplay intergrated. Also have the same problems as everyone mentioned. I have an iPhone 6s running latest beta of 9.3 firmware.

It makes no difference between 9.2.1 and 9.3 betas, it won't work properly. The reason to choose this car was for the integrated Carplay, this in combination with Itunes Match, so i can listen to all my music.


For some reason you have to use Siri to search for your albums, but that's the problem, Siri works only two out of ten times. Mostly the system won't do anything or freezes. Already tested it with a couple iPhones but still the same problems. This is far behind my expectations. Second thing is that I don't know if it's an problem in my car or firmware related.

I recently purchased a 2016 Accord, which has CarPlay built in. Since I have had the car I have had problems with the audio stopping, while the UI shows the media is still playing. I have found through extensive testing that it usually stops after I use another app (native or 3rd party) that uses the Mic on the phone, at which point the audio fails to switch back on. The fastest way to make this happen is to open the camera app. The fastent way to correct the problem for me is to ask Siri a question ("Siri, what is 5 +5?") or tell Siri to pound sand. After Siri responds the radio will, more times then not, resume. This is a total hack and obviously needs to be fixed, but it is kinda therapeutic to tell Siri to perform explicit sexual acts upon herself.
