Maybe this is an outlier situation, then. But if it’s not, I’d have to think that would be a major priority bug. Then again, Lucid probably has a massive list of high priority bugs at this point.
I fixed it!Ok, not being able to play music via BT is a major issue if you can only get it to work a tiny fraction of the time. I was OK with having to use my phone via BT to get SiriusXM Radio, but if that doesn’t work…
Yes. I have a ton of preloaded music, so in that regard it will be useful.CarPlay isn’t going to help you when you have no signal for streaming. Unless you’be preloaded the music you want to listen to. In which case, Bluetooth from your phone will work as well.
My BT is pretty rock solid (on a Google Pixel 6). Sucks you are having trouble, that would drive me nuuuuuuts.I think maybe I’m an outlier? Sometimes it will randomly work but most of the time it won’t. Playing downloaded songs from Apple Music seems to work a little better (maybe 30% of the time?) than using any streaming service, but if I try to play NPR news now off apple podcasts or iHeart radio on my phone, nope, it just spins and spins. I can just say “Alexa play NPR news” and it will then work fine off the car. But most things I try to do via Bluetooth music wise fail. Bluetooth phone calls works ok.
Has he mentioned actual satellite SiriusXM radio?Spoke with a Lucid employee today who is closely involved with software and hardware at Lucid and he ensured me that Apple CarPlay is coming soon. Not sure what "soon" actually means but at least we have confirmation it is coming.
Yes. The aftermarket SiriusXM setups I’ve seen include a satellite antenna.Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me, but I'm just wondering why @ctonylee said he was considering installing an aftermarket SiriusXM setup, but was advised by a Lucid employee "not to do that," that the lack of SiriusXM was "the number one complaint," that that a SirusXM app would be "in the next OTA update." But, who knows, maybe the Lucid employee doesn't know the difference between cellular and satellite service!
Yeah Bluetooth seems more reliable now. Maybe it just took two weeks of trying the same thing over and over again, and a visit to service for an entirely unrelated problem, to get it to work. What-evs. I’ll take what I can get. I’ve been getting more and more used to asking Alexa to play various songs/albums anyway, it actually works quite well, certainly better than that stupid square box of crap Amazon made called the FireCube.My BT is pretty rock solid (on a Google Pixel 6). Sucks you are having trouble, that would drive me nuuuuuuts.
EDIT: Just saw you might have it working, good luck!
Dated May 16, 2022 - so a couple days ago?When was that interview?
It was at SXSW, which was back in March?Dated May 16, 2022 - so a couple days ago?
I had looked for that shortly after it happened. Thanks.It was at SXSW, which was back in March?
Was the interview from this year? The response makes it sound like CarPlay is something they are in very early days of looking into implementation. I had thought they were way far along in this and basically working on getting it wrapped up. I recall earlier on these forums others had been told by Lucid reps the software is mostly ready but awaiting Apples final approvals/certifications.It was at SXSW, which was back in March?
Google updates Android Auto to better fit all the different sized touchscreens in cars today

Your move, Apple.
I've read a couple of articles now that say not to expect this to happen for years if at all. The fact Apple didn't list anyone that it had partnered with for the initial launch and when press has spoken to automakers the general response is "we'll look at it". There seems to be alot of resistance to automakers giving access to the cars computer in order to present the stats CarPlay needs for this to work. Apple announced EV Routing in Apple Maps 2 or 3 years ago and as of today, Ford and BMW are the only ones that support itIt looks like at the recent WWDC in early June Apple did make some significant announcements. I am hopeful Lucid can take advantage of some of them.
