Apple wank play

or or is it just me.

What car do you have?

Travisthedog

Skoda Superb Sportline on a  17 plate

Are you trying it over Bluetooth, or via a cable?
I'm not sure if Skoda supports BT CarPlay or not as I don't have one.

It works really well for me, connected via wifi. 

Travisthedog

Connected by cable - how else can you do it. You can't connect it with Bluetooth.

it supports CarPlay, it has the icon on the audio menu, does android auto too which is supposed to be better

@thorpyfx how do you connect through wifi?

Dunno, just that my car creates a wifi network and the phone connects to it that way. 

Travisthedog

I think I have that too as everything I get in my phone tries to connect to something called Skoda81776WLAN

Travisthedog

I really should read the manual

What's it not doing, I've had no issues with CarPlay.

Some can, some can't- it depends on the implementation.

You connect, head to Spotify and it just gets locked a cycle of flicking between your library and the track you want to play

It will sit just loading a track from your library

Audible is the same

Funilly enough -Apple music is ok but really really slow to skip between tracks 

and really there are bugger all apps you can use

Try doing a reset on iPhone, don't wipe any data, just reset settings.

DanR

Which lead are you using to connect up?

Travisthedog

Apple lightening cable

DanR

We've had a lot of issues with non genuine cables.

Id try a hard reset on your phone and set the car back to factory settings and just try the phone connected via the cable don't pair up Bluetooth and make sure your phone/apps are upto date.

Travisthedog

I'll give it a go

It's the Spotify app that's the problem. Apple Music works flawlessly but Spotify is absolutely wank on it. 

I suspect Apple have deliberately made it as difficult as possible for Spotify to integrate properly with it.

I fucking hate Apple more and more each day

my next upgrade may well be a Samsung.......

Funnily enough I've had a new iPhone delivered today.

I connected it to my wifi network, downloaded the latest version of iOS and installed the back-up from iCloud.

It works perfectly....

They do - so long as you never veer from the path marked Apple. Don't get me wrong, I'm a total apple fanboy, but this just grinds my gears. Apple Music isn't as good as Spotify imho by some margin otherwise I'd use that instead
