Disabling Apple Carplay

[Dikky]

Hi all .... When my wife and I are driving long distances she likes to plug in her phone and play a game on it while it charges. The problem is carplay recognises the phone and I lose the radio and all we hear is the game sound effects. There's probably a simple solution to this in the phone or uconnect settings and I'm sure some of you think this is a dumb question but I'm asking it anyway

You can buy a 'charge only' cable that won't pass data. Does it play the game sounds even when you switch it back to FM or SXM? That's weird. You can also disable Carplay directly on her phone:

Or she could use one of the ports that are not connected to the sound system, charge only. In my truck the port in the console does not interface with the sound system.

That too. Forgot about the console/armrest port.

I’m having the same issue but with the kids in the back seat. Is the charge only cable the only solution for the rear ports? We’ve turned the settings off on the iPad and it still does it.

Port #3 on the left will activate Carplay, port on the right will not (charge only). You can also plug in a good old-fashioned wall charger to the 115v outlet right under the USBs.
