Here is a better explanation of the title. When I plug in my iPhone 13 Pro Max on software 15.3 Apple CarPlay starts. Selecting Deezer gives me no option to start playing music from the CarPlay screen. When using any music app in CarPlay one of two things should happen. Either your preferred music player should start playing automatically on connection or, you should see the Blue play button in the upper right corner of the CarPlay screen for you to actually start playing music. Deezer does neither of these two things. I have used about 5 different music streaming apps with CarPlay and all of them did one of the two options I gave above.
Is there a setting I have missed somewhere that prevents Deezer from doing this? Every time I get in my Jeep I have to open the Deezer app and start the music on my phone first before I will be given the option to control the music from the CarPlay app. I don’t typically listen to the Flow feature in Deezer. Also, when I listen to an artist on my phone, it does not show up in the recently played list when connecting to CarPlay. The list comes up but the most current things I have listened to are not listed.
If safety is a key feature of using CarPlay then maybe Deezer needs some extra work done. When I sometimes have to control my music from my phone instead of the Deezer app within CarPlay it really isn’t very safe.
My vehicle is a 2014 Jeep with an aftermarket Alpine ILX-W650. I love supporting apps that don’t see a lot of mainstream press and I want to continue supporting Deezer. I, along with lots of other users here would love to see Deezer fix the issues that really are crippling the experience within the app. I would be happy to provide more information on my experience if needed. Thanks!
