CarPlay not auto playing music

MPR · 10-01-2023, 02:13 PM

I just switched from android to iOS and found that CarPlay does not automatically begin playing music when I get in the car like android auto does. Is this expected and is there a way to auto play?

Using YouTube music if that matters

Do you have this setting enabled?

Settings - General - CarPlay

Just went out started the car and of course it worked, hoping it’s not a situation where it only works/autoplays when it wants to .

Yeah it’s hit or miss, last night and this morning it did not automatically start playing. Has anyone else had this issue?

You are using iOS now, get used to nothing working consistently. I use Android for my personnal, iOS (forced) for work, if I want to get anything done I grab my Android. Reboot your iOS often and keep with the updates.

I’ve been a die hard android guy since 2010 but I got tired of having a tablet sized device. Went for the iPhone 13 mini as I have wanted a small phone and to also experience the iPhone hype..and hype is all it is. I’ll likely switch back to android in 2 years, but we’ll see what happens.

I always thought iOS was bullet proof and more reliable than android

My CarPlay automatically starts playing the last thing that was playing every time I turn the car on

For those that auto play works, which music app do you use?

I am able to get YT music to auto play a specific playlist when auto play opens by using an automation, but not consistently continue where I left off which is what I want.

Not sure if auto play from last place is just an issue with YT music and not with the native music app or Spotify.
