Does anyone fine CarPlay and deezer to be really temperamental?

Happens almost every other time but find I have to close and restart the app on my phone before CarPlay picks it up (everything else works fine!). Annoying as i cancelled Spotify because the car came with deezer and that seems to work ok!

Will install Deezer and check just for you. Could I ask if you have tunein installed on your CarPlay.

It is really temperamental connecting on my id5 and wondered if it was the same for others.

Thanks

No just Spotify and Deezer. Spotify was hit and miss on my old ID4 but seems to work perfectly on ID6.

No issues on Deezer, do you have online media subscription also?

Yeah, came with the car, only reason I moved to Deezer from Spotify tbh!

Just annoying that I need to close app on my phone and reopen Deezer most of the time I get into the car.

You don’t need to use the app if you have the online subscription.

Just click online entertainment (media tab), click Deezer then sign in with your existing account details.

I only use my phone app to add music to my cloud library and then just use the online music in the car.

Thanks mate, will give it a try. Think it's because I've got CarPlay too so automatically just used that!

All working via Online Entertainment, thanks Rustybitz.

Not sure why anyone would spec online entertainment and CarPlay together :

Does it eventually download all playlists? Quite annoying that it has to download each track rather than stream.

That’s great news!

I know the feeling it’s annoying, I believe it just downloads.

Haven't started yet, still to decide on which dongle to get! Will probably go with the recommended one from Stephan the BimmerCode dev, he said get the iCar Pro. Just worried cause the reviews haven't been great!

I found it only takes about a second for it have downloaded enough of a track to start playing. After that its downloading the next 2 or 3 tracks of the album or playlist in the background so really it's just as good as streaming.

Yeah I don't mind it if listening to albums, it's just when I've got my playlists which I normally shuffle. Guessing this will work properly once it's downloaded all the tracks

I’m using the normal dongle no issue so far.
