The root of this is an ongoing bug:
- Leave the car on a native audio source (XM, Podcasts, Apple Music)
- Return to the car and it plays your last source (yay!)
- Carplay attaches and suddenly you're not playing anything at all (super frustrating.)
Adding to the frustration, this usually happens while I am backing out and the cameras are covering the screen leaving me unable to rectify the situation.
After being pissed at this for the millionth time, I realized...I don't need Carplay.
You can't reply, but I can do that via Siri on my phone or watch if it's something that can't wait.
For me, it's worth it to stop having this annoyance every single time I use the car.

- I use native apps for the music sources.
- I use native navigation (and so should you, for the charging station benefits, battery prewarming, dashboard integration etc.)
- I don't use any other carplay apps (Waze, ABRP, PlugShare...I just use those on the phone)
- The only thing I use it for is to read texts to me, and allow me to reply with Siri.
