Apple/iTunes. It works perfectly in my husbands F150. I can see EVERYTHING. The Jeeps uConnect is different, but I feel like it still should work. Otherwise what's the point?
I take it back! I don't know why it works today, but it does. I just went out for a drive and got the grey partial playlist thing, but I tried the button on the steering wheel while I was driving (curious) and it allowed me to send a text! That was new, so when the car stopped I checked the playlist again and there it was!! It's grey while driving (the playlists), but that's fine. I can still change songs within the one I chose when I was stopped. That's good enough for me! I can use voice commands if I want to change it.
I have a similar problem, but it's intermittent and I don't see any logical reason for it doing this. Sometimes I'll only see 10 playlists in Spotify or the last 10 podcasts in Overcast and at other times it will show me my entire list. I only check when I'm stopped at a light or parked so it has nothing to do with the vehicle being in motion. I have several friends with different makes of vehicles that have the same issue.
Hi,
Thanks. Sending you a direct message.
This is also what's happening to me. I can also verify that DND is disabled while driving.
If you read up you will see that it seems to be working now, with exception of the problems mentioned (greys out while moving, jumps back a screen, etc). I CAN however touch the "next up" key and it will show me what songs are next on the playlist I chose. I am able to scroll through those to choose another song, but I am not able to choose another playlist.
Hi everyone,
Alison -
First, you are very wrong, unfortunately. I tested this with ios 11 and ios 12 and both OS's block CarPlay features while in motion, it has nothing to do with ios 13.. This is 100% on FCA/Uconnect, not iOS. I've also proven this with using aftermarket wireless carplay dongles (that are unreliable at best and not recommended to buy right now until they mature) but it does not BLOCK any features of carplay in the jeep while in motion. It is the wire signal plugged into the USB of the jeep on how the Jeep knows and FCA/Uconnect block the functions.
you sir, nailed it. My argument as well.Alison -
I appreciate you taking the time to look into this for me. And while I can accept that this is out of FCA's control, it certainly seems like the people over in Silicon Valley have gotten lost in their own little bubble again. This is either a very short-sighted attempt at safety or some sort of half-baked notion to get more people using Siri. Now, if you're driving down the highway and you want to change your music, you have to either attempt some sort of Siri command or pull over and come to a complete stop to use your Carplay interface. Or... I expect most people will just pick up their phone and select what they want to hear, which completely defeats the purpose of having Carplay in the first place.
Happy holidays!
@JeepCares After doing some research online (grain of salt, I know) I had hear the same thing -- that this is an FCA configuration issue, not Apple -- and I have been in rentals with Carplay and able to access everything. I am going to try to test this in someone else's vehicle to see if I can access everything or if the motion lock still applies. Maybe you can have someone else with the Uconnect team take another look. As you can see from his thread link above, this has been an ongoing issue in the forum. Thanks!
