I can see all of my music until I put it into gear and then it instantly changes and only shows a much smaller number (looks like recently played or purchased).

GM is telling me it SHOULDNT do this (haven't brought to dealer yet though).

Anyone else have a similar experience? Thanks

Did you get the last CUE update and which iOS is on your iPhone?

Normally CarPlay lets you scroll then asked you what you're looking for. It's more of a hands off system. If you wanted to listen to Jay Z you can say "hey Siri play songs by JayZ" and it will combine Apple Music and the music stored on your iPhone.

9.3.2 OS. Truck was built in April, not sure of firmware version.

Not sure what you are saying exactly, in park I can see all my artists. In drive I can't. If I ask ask Siri to find songs it usually finds them but I'm wondering about it limiting my view of my albums while in gear.

To check your HMI firmware version press power, home, and menu at the same time. I have a 2015 and did the 2016 carplay upgrade from MVI. The hmi version on mine is 15.2BVOO8_R1_MY17

I plug in my wife's Iphone 6+ and you are right... in drive music show only one screen of music and a "more" icon at the bottom. When I press "more" Siri comes on. This also happens on contacts. In park it shows all the music and contact list. That blows!!
I plug the iphone to the usb port behind the screen. Carplay doesn't activate. I hit the "media" button and selected Iphone and all the music show up. I think I like the bluetooth phone and media "iphone" better than carplay. Also IMO the map kinda sucks I rather use GM navigation.

I don't think this is a GM problem. This would be Apple thing. About a month ago when I first got the new HMI -- when I press on Contacts (carplay) in drive it would display "Contact access is limited". Now it shows one page worth of contacts and "more" at the bottom. There must have been an update on carplay from apple since then.

I did ask MVI since I got the video in motion upgrade (HMI software) They said Android car and Apple carplay gets its data straight from the bus and not through the HMI.

Exactly. What's weird is that GM says this SHOULDNT happen...but clearly it's not a one off issue...

Just realized it does this with Pandora too. Doesn't scroll past the 'A''s on my list. Completely useless.
