Hi Everyone,
I've been testing a couple of iPhones with CarPlay in my 2019 Subaru - which supports wired CarPlay (not wireless).
What I've found is that during music playback (Spotify, Tidal), there are occasional 'pops' and micro-pauses. These might occur every few minutes, or sometimes longer. But it's definitely noticeable and disruptive. I initially tested with an iPhone XR running iOS 12, and as soon as iOS 13 came out (initially in beta) I updated it, but the pops and pauses have continued. I love the improvements to CarPlay under iOS 13 though.
Now, I'm testing an iPhone 11 Pro Max, and sadly I'm getting pops and micro-pauses with this phone too.
I have briefly tested non-CarPlay connectivity by simply using Bluetooth, and did not experience any of these issues.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Is it a problem with CarPlay or could it be a glitch in my Subaru's headunit/CarPlay implementation?
As a side-note, the Subaru also supports Android Auto, and those devices do not have any of the pops the iPhones are experiencing. It has its own pausing issues though, due to the way the phones seem to switch between music and navigation playback, but that's for another forum.
