I unpaired my phone (iphone 18 pro) and re-paired it, and they key seems to be working much better. Did you actually delete the key and then add it again?
I could not have said it better myself. 100% agree. Audio pauses for no reason on Spotify as well. And the Lucid "card" does not allow you to shut down carplay. Once Carplay is going, it is going until the next drive at least, and it's fighting with the native Lucid apps big time. They need to do like Tesla did and dump Carplay and just make their own native apps work, or dump the native apps (not my preference since less control over screens) and keep Carplay. I think Lucid, sadly, is already sunk. Their window for correcting their terrible software reputation was earlier this year, and this is October. Most people I speak with have heard the software sucks, and I can't argue with them. Still love my car though most of the time, so fun to drive. This must be like being married to an alcoholic...
