CarPlay not showing all music

I just began using CarPlay in a new 2017 Chevy Volt with my iPhone 6 plugged in to the USB port. It seems I can only access Recently Added music or music downloaded to my phone, and not music I have on the cloud through iTunes Match, even though that music shows up on my phone. That is, unless the car is in park. Then all my music shows up on the CarPlay screen. The only way I can play (though not see listed) all the music from the cloud while driving is to hit the shuffle mode, then it will shuffle from my entire library. Any ideas how I can see and play all of music?

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.2

Unfortunately this didn't work. When plugged in, it starts playing my library in shuffle mode, though often it will stop mid song and then start a new song. I still can's see my entire library in CarPlay. Only recently added music.

I wonder if this is a restriction built into the vehicle's system to prevent internet access while the vehicle is in motion. While Apple provides the link for CarPlay, vehicle manufacturers determine how that is to be implemented in their vehicles. I would check with Chevrolet and see what they have to say.

I'm having this trouble too, but all my music is downloaded to my phone. And talking to a car manufacturer is worse then torture. I had to call Ford to ask questions on Sync 3 and the person had no idea what I was talking about. Tried chatting. Spent 20 minutes and got no where. This is an Apple issue (at least I think it is.) I miss the days before Apple Music when life was not so complicated.

try restarting the device and then repairing it to the vehicle.
