Smh…I’m having this same issue going on a yr now.

I Bluetooth my phone to mines and have to make sure the info screen on the dash says either media, telephone or navigation in order to use the chrome jog wheel to change tracks on my phone.

And what’s this guys number because I’m getting tired of hitting the side to get my right side to play. I took it all apart once thinking my soldering work was shabby!

 

Sorry I missed all the questions, been busy with a new contract, got a pipeline to build.

I've never had a problem with my Ben Hur / Kenwood system, Carplay connects automatically and the everything just works. To get to switch track, I have to use the media mode on the steering wheel controls, I just hit the phone button to get to it. Maybe I got lucky with the unit, but I don't
drive that much nowadays, my current contract has me working at home, some time I don't get out the house for a week or two.

Car is on the hoist, as I'm replacing the power steering pump, pulleys and fan belt.
