Issue with CarPlay since the last service

Since the car was last serviced I keep getting this message when I connect the phone by USB lead. Previously it was happy to swap itself automatically to Apple Car Play without this message. Any suggestions? Should I unpair my phone, connect with CarPlay and then re pair the phone?

Windscreen wipers

Is it just me or are the wipers really crap? Every time I use them they leave smears on the windscreen! It doesn't matter what I do. I've polished the glass, used a Rainex product, wiped the blades with washing up liquid, nothing works for more than a day. Has anyone tried any after market replaceme...

Larger boot liner

Hi I'm looking for a boot liner to fit with the rear seats folded down which will allow me to put a mountain bike in the back and not get everything muddy. Any suggestions? I had been thinking about roof bars and a rack, (but it's only to get one bike about 5 miles), it might also be tricky getting ...

Re: Changed iPhone and Apple Car play doesn't work

"The applications pane is accessed by swiping the screen right. The CarPlay app is there."

Thank you - that's all it was!
Working perfectly now

Re: Changed iPhone and Apple Car play doesn't work

Just tried again and get the same error.
The Carplay setting phone says to press and hold voice control but that does nothing.

Changed iPhone and Apple Car play doesn't work

I just upgraded my iPhone. I linked the bluetooth but when I plugged it into the car using the USB lead the car play gives a message "Start from Application Pane" I have the option ticked to start Car play when plugged into USB but can't find any other settings or applications? [Apologies ...

Re: Rear camera and boot switch catches broke

Volvo Gatwick were very helpful, they are ordering a new part and will let me know when it arrives.
Apparently they had another one with the same issue last year.

(Screws seem way too tight to me)

Rear camera and boot switch catches broke

I noticed today that the rear boot opener/camera on the taillight had come loose. On further investigation it appears the plastic mounting fixings have broken, the other side broke as I lifted it slightly to look Has anyone else had the same problem? I tend to use the latch as I still can't get the ...

Re: AUTO light switch - low beam on or off?

Not totally relevant but when I was commuting on a motorbike to and from London I was always amazed how many new cars with LED running lights would be driven at disk (or later) with the front LED's on and no rear lights. I'd assumed they were on Auto but of course maybe they just didn't bother turni...
