Carplay changes from SiriusXM station on startup

Every time I startup my truck, it automatically connects wirelessly to my phone with CarPlay and starts playing music from my iPhone. 

I'd rather have it remain on the SiriusXM station that I was last listening to when I last turned off the truck.  I have to go out of CarPlay screen to Audio and choose SiriusXM and then go back to CarPlay screen.

 

Has anyone else figured out this problem?  I tried looking at CarPlay settings on my iPhone, there are many options.

If I'm listening to Sirius XM when I shut my truck off, the next time I start it up it goes to FM them a couple seconds later it says loading XM then it finally goes back to XM. And I have the latest updates.

My truck does this as well. I couldn't figure it out till the other day it took longer than a few seconds to switch. Best I can tell is that if you set up a profile in your radio the radio does not start up in that profile. So you hear the default (no profile) radio (whatever it is set to) till the system loads your profile and starts playing from the stations you have programmed in. I got in my truck the other day and it was playing something different again. I started looking at the station settings and everything had changed I was like WTH. Then a few seconds later my profile loaded and everything was as I had set it.

Not sure about Apple, but Android Auto has a setting in the phone app to select if you want to "automatically resume media on reconnect".  Until I found that setting I was seeing the same behavior you are describing.  I turned it off and now the truck restarts with the same station I left it on.

 

I would suggest looking at the various settings in your phone app, it may not be a truck issue.

So you think if I delete my profile, the station that I have on when I shut the truck off will be the station when I start it up after sitting awhile?

Yeah that is what I'm thinking. I've not tried that yet though.

The profile option is more of a pain in the ass than it's worth.  Plan on nixxing it tomorrow

Do you have your iPhone connected?  If I don't have my iPhone with me, it goes to last station I was listening to (FM or XM).  But if my iPhone connects, it will tune to my playlist on my iPhone.

It automatically connects when I start the truck up.  It just tells me that my phone is connected.  Upon startup mine goes to FM then slowly loads XM and then goes to the last station that I was listening to on XM.

I'm slowly narrowing this down to the Waze app on Carplay.  It seems to automatically change the audio input to my iPhone instead of leaving it alone.  So I'm taking this up with the Waze app developers.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov
