Sirius is so cheap now Ill keep it. Before I was considering dumping it.

There is some music on archive.org I would like to pipe into the truck some day and be able to control it with the infotainment system however I’ll work on that some other time.

Man I wish I could be more helpful here. It sounds like the phone is not firing up CarPlay when you’re connecting. On your phone you may want to try going to settings/general/CarPlay. Ensure your 4Runner is listed there as you should be able to tap on customize and see what CarPlay apps are enabled. Maybe music was toggled off? You can also delete your car from here and start over, which you may want to consider.

CarPlay is definitely operating. The apps that I expect to see are there in the CarPlay infotainment screens.

It might be just me that I cannot see how to properly play something off, for example, archive.org without using my iPhone to control it.

More importantly is stopping the directions from dropping out while texting and listening to SiriusXM. Ill see if deleting the iPhone in the bluetooth in the truck has solved the issue.

Since deleting the truck from Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay has brought up the SiriusXM “Favorites” and “Recents” up quicker it seems. In the past it would take awhile. I haven’t had the directions get dropped when texting since either.

I will say this, using the button on the steering wheel is a lot less distracting than trying to use the touch screen when driving. Siri can do most of what I want just by asking. Weather report, Music selections, Messaging, phone calls etc.

I even say “Thank you Siri” after getting what I wanted just to see what “she” replies and that’s fun.
