Examples, if she is on the phone and I start my car to leave, suddenly I am on the phone with whomever she was talking to and she is cut off. Or, I am in the car, set up my music, listening waiting for her as we are going somewhere. As she approaches the car with iPhone in her purse, Bingo, I lose my music, and no amount of button pushing help, I simply lose all control of the system. Any thought or is the a separate video completely? Doug

      1st thing to do is make sure your iPhone has latest firmware. Next is to update the firmware in your car. Once this is all done, test it. if you still have a problem, delete you iPhone from your car, then add back in. This may work, can’t guarantee. Most cars today can be set to get updates from your house wifi, the download and install is slow.

    The aftermarket WiFi is great if you want your phone off the internet.

    Ok bro you realize some of the things your showing are vehicle specific right? For example wallpaper is only available for some cars after a certain year. Also as someone who has sold cars for a long time. It's always amazing to me how many folks don't know how to even get their phone to connect to carplay or Android auto. My mother for example has a 2018 gmc acadia Denali and she even having it since it was new asked me recently where her cds are if I knew where they are. Of course I was instantly telling her she doesn't need them because she has an iPhone and can just play whatever she wants thru carplay.
    My biggest issue these days is the quality of the audio. In some cars it's not a big deal like my audi rs5 bang and olufsen. However if I'm driving my 06 cadillac sts with bose. Despite it having a huge sub in the back it always sounds like it has zero bass unless playing a cd. It would be nice if there were a way to get a half way good equalizer nowadays. Either for our phones or cars. I guess I'm old school in a lot of ways. I have a very nice 1100 dollar at the time Samsung sound bar with sub that's really nice. But it fails to compare to my old onkyo 12.1 receiver that uses actual wires and fiber to connect to the TV or computer
