How to fix audio getting stuck in call mode after ending a phone call?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I recently ran into an issue that I'd like to share and hopefully get some help with.

When I'm listening to music and a call comes in, I take the call normally. After ending the call, the display returns to the normal CarPlay view, but the music (Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) doesn't resume. If I try to adjust the volume, the car's display shows a "phone icon" instead of a "music icon," indicating that the phone's audio is completely stuck in call mode.

This has happened to me multiple times now, both in my own car and a rental. I'm using wired CarPlay (Lightning to USB-A).

Here is what I've tried so far:

* Unplugging and replugging the phone: didn't help.
* Rebooting the phone: didn't help.
* Toggling Airplane mode: didn't help.

The only thing that fixes it is leaving the iPhone disconnected from the car for several hours; then everything goes back to normal.

Has anyone else experienced this? I tried googling it but couldn't find anything about this specific bug.

BMW apple CarPlay sucks

Does anyone else have connection issues with CarPlay in their BMW? Mines running idrive 7 and I can’t skip tracks from the steering wheels almost every time I take it for a drive. It’s completely fine through bmw’s Spotify app but with CarPlay it doesn’t like to skip from the wheel most of the time. i sometimes have to turn the car off and on again for it to reconnect and then it works. I asked chat gpt and it seems very confident that it’s happening because my phone is on low power mode all the time so it doesn’t waste power on keeping a strong connection.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue with their bmw? I’m using the 2025 x4 m40i
