Hi, had My car for a year now and can’t seem to resolve how when I have the radio on, and the phone connects to CarPlay, periodically I lose audio and need to go back to the radio, find the favorite and select it again. Similarly, when stationary, if I browse a website on my phone it will often stop the audio and I need to repeat the above. Seems like a conflict with CarPlay but hoping somewhere there is a setting to stop this as it’s damned annoying I.e. I want the radio audio prioritised over everything else unless I select a music app in CarPlay.

hope that makes sense & any advice gratefully received.

I think what you are describing is more a function of CarPlay than the connection to the car itself. This happens to me regardless whether it’s the Taycan, the Defender or the BRZ, especially when there’s an ad or music that kicks in when the phone connects to the car. At least be grateful that the connection with the Taycan dies pretty quickly because in my defender it’ll restart itself if I’m close to it. It’s just annoying.
