Note: I have not been using Carplay (not a fan). I prefer using the integrated software.
- Navigation: I use the “3D” view which I think is basically the default view for most Nav apps. One thing I noticed yesterday that had me a bit befuddled: buildings and bridges were being overlaid on top of the map. For example, as I was driving across the GW bridge (NYC) the bright blue “route” line suddenly went dark. I noticed that the software was displaying the suspension bridge towers on top of the map, in kind of a “see through” mode. I then noticed it was doing the same for tall buildings and also a parking garage I drove through. This seems unnecessary. I don’t need to see 3D structures around me on the map. It only complicates the UI. It would be great to have an option to disable this.
- Reduce (dont turn off) volume of music during Nav announcements. Turning the music off completely is awkward and annoying.
- Reduce volume when door is opened. I’ve been surprised at how useful that was (coming from the Tesla) and have embarrassed myself a few times while getting out of the car with the music blaring.
- Twice now I have lost sound from Spotify. Other sources worked fine, just no sound from Spotify- a bit strange. The last time this happened I didn't reboot the software, and the sound had returned later that evening.
