Does anyone else have the rather frustrating issue of the radio turning off and car play connecting each time you get into the car, then having to navigate through about 5 screens to turn it back on again.

Had the car for a year and this is by far the most frustrating thing other that it randomly changing the colour of the interior lighting and heater settings.

I think this is a carplay thing. You might be able to change it in the carplay settings. My wife's iPhone butts in when connected and every time there is a notification but my phone on android auto doesn't do it at all.

I’m on iOS and CarPlay does show up on the infotainment screen, but it doesn’t cut the radio out.

I am on 3.2. It’s done it from getting the car last year. Just annoying.
