Love the car, getting used to the diesel and the slight lag but love the car.


I have a question with Carplay.

The time it takes to connect and actually start up working can take minutes and I also need to unlock my phone to get it to work even though I have option checked allow carplay on lock screen?

The delay is frustrating as it is there after making a call etc.

I have Iphone 6S with a optus so I get Spotify and I hear radio data free so would like to use them more.
Same phone, same Discovery Pro Infotainment.
Have noted it is sometimes slow to start but haven’t had to unlock the phone since the first time.
IOS 10 and 11.
Have noted Siri is completely daft, taking totally unpredictable actions... giving nav instructions to the VW voice control works better. Might be my dodgy kiwi accent 😂
Your issue could lie with either unit... Apple will tell you to restore your phone to factory settings... a pain in the ass but worth considering as a last resort.
I also THINK I accidentally did a factory reset on my infotainment while playing around on day one. I held down the power or mute button and it restarted with all my settings missing. It was day one so I can’t be sure it wasn’t something else.

Incidentally, I wonder if Spotify will stream through Bluetooth with track skipping etc... Apple Radio does.
