Smartphone Connectivity & External Device Integration e.g. Apple CarPlay / Android Auto / Bluetooth / USB

If you connect your phone via Apple CarPlay, Android Auto o r Bluetooth/USB — do the connections work reliably e.g. for calls, navigation, music? Do they stay connected consistently not disconnecting randomly, and do all features audio, calls, camera overlays, sensor warnings function properly via that connection? Many users complain about unreliable phone-to-car link: “unresponsive CarPlay / Android Auto,” o r “Bluetooth/disconnect issues,” which can degrade convenience o r even safety if navigation o r hands‑free calling fails mid‑journey.

Based on owner feedback, forum posts, and complaint threads, these problems with entertainment/communication features come up repeatedly:

• Infotainment System Instability Freezing, Lag, Random Reboots

A common complaint: “screen freezing, laggy interface, unresponsive CarPlay / Android Auto, random warning-lights o r sensor glitches,” especially in 2022–2023 model years.

Even after software updates, some owners report persistent bugs. For example, a 2023 owner said that radio station names randomly disappear even with RDS enabled, and the system’s media/radio behaviour was unpredictable.

Several owners complain that even when the phone connects physically o r via Bluetooth, Android Auto o r CarPlay either don’t work properly, o r stop working altogether.

In one report: on shifting to reverse while Android Auto was connected, the media system switched automatically to radio — sometimes losing audio control o r causing confusion.
