iOS 10 carplay offline music

I'm in the uk, using a pioneer head unit with car play. The problem I'm having is that not all of my music is showing up in CarPlay despite it all being downloaded on to the phone. However if I create the album as a playlist it shows up in playlists.

Any ideas?

On my phone in music I have a number of albums that are under albums and are downloaded onto the phone.

When I hook my phone up to carplay, there are only a certain amount of albums that show up, not all of them.

So if I save an album as a playlist I can then select if on CarPlay, if I don't I have to select an album through my phone which defeats the object of carplay!

oh got it...

unfortunatly best way to listen music is car stereo ipod ready :(

car play is still uncomplete

if only apple allow to view only downloaded music in ipod mode like ios 9 :(

unbelievable why remove that

Tried this but can still only see certain albums in carplay.

Ridiculous as the unit if I go out of CarPlay can see all the albums I have either copied over from cd or downloaded.

Really starting to annoy me

Same issue if use the iPhone with iOS 10 as "iPod" Player connected to the car audio (not CarPlay).

In former iOS versions, I can chose in music app only to use downloaded music - and so only the local stored music on the iPhone was shown in car audio.

In iOS 10 all music is shown and causes dead links if I choose a not downloaded song.

I have the same issue as well. The IOS 10 Music app Library has the Downloaded Music option to show only what's on your phone, but this option does not show up on the CarPlay screen when connected. It only shows Artists, Playlists, Albums & Songs. Why does it omit Downloaded Music?

This is an important missing feature for CarPlay because if you listen to music that's not downloaded, you will use your cellular data. In IOS 9, you would see your downloaded music if you had the music app set to only show it. Hopefully Apple will include the option to select Downloaded Music in a future release.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. It's bad enough that even with all the Apple Music garbage turned off the music on my iPhone is relegated to a sub-section called "Downloaded (?) Music", but now, even with cell data OFF for music, there is no way to not show all the music in my iTunes account through CarPlay. This is VERY frustrating.

I synced that specific music from iTunes to the iPhone I use in my car because that's the music I want to listen to in my car. No Wi-fi, no cellular data, no cloud, just my music I decided I want to listen to. You know, like the very first iPod was able to do. Why is this so hard Apple?

Same problem for me on Audi MMI, and when you turn off Apple Car Play and browse the phone as an iPod, same problem.

Please guys don't forget to report the bug on Apple Bug Report ⚠ https://bugreport.apple.com/ if you have an Apple Dev' Account or here for the others.

Same issue with Hyundai i30 2011 (Original hyundai ipod dock)

I can't browse only offline content, and i can't use stering wheel control when i select a track directly from the phone in shuffle mode (following track didn't follow the queue, it's completly random without reason);

I hope Apple will fix compatibilities with car stereo....

Ipod ready function with car stereo is probably the main reason why i'm iphone and apple music user....if with any upgrade compatibility goes mad....i think it's better to using BT+Android+Spotify....

Hi All, I took advantage of my 90 days of support for my iPhone 7 and logged a support case for this issue with Apple. They have passed this issue on to Apple Engineering. I should hear something back from them in the next few days and will pass along what they say or advise.

I heard back from Apple regarding the support case I opened for this issue. They said the normal behavior is to show the entire music library through CarPlay, and that if we want to be able to have the functionality option to only show downloaded music, we should submit feedback asking for this.

Everyone please be sure to submit feedback regarding this issue at the appropriate links posted earlier in this tread. The ability to view and select only downloaded music is definitely a necessary capability so cellular data usage can be minimized while listening to music through CarPlay. And we previously had this capability in IOS 9.

I have submitted a bug report explaining that the Only Offline Music option needs to be added back in to the Music options list. It is ridiculous to expect a customer to want to see all hundreds of artists and all thousands of songs in their account when they could, for example, in a non data roaming environment when travelling or simply connecting to their car's infotainment system or just listening to music with mobile data switched off.

I'm wondering why this forum and the developer bug report exist.

Because Apple don't consider any user return as always. During the iOS 10.1 beta program, I reported the bug five times, for each beta.

The final release is here and the bug still in it. 😕

Apple should consider that all countries do not sell unlimited 3G/4G subscriptions !
