Ah you beat me to it! Yes it just went live in the App Store this morning.


Really pleased we found a solution to that! I won't bore you with the details but it was a different method I found in the (extensive) Apple developer docs! Great result 👍

This would be great. For some reason whenever I play Mixo through Car Play it comes out on the 'voice recognition' channel, so the sound quality is awful. It's perfectly fine through Bluetooth, but when I need navigation it's a bit of a pain to have CarPlay for maps and seperate Bluetooth audio.

Hi Brian,

Please can you try some of the suggestions in this post:

Let me know if you find a solution.

I have the same problem on my Honda Odyssey, but it's fine on my Toyota Prius.

I've been testing this too and I have the same problem. It's really weird! There doesn't seem to be any control over it.

I tried all the solutions in the Reddit post, but nothing worked. I’m in a Toyota Yaris Cross GR. If I connect with Bluetooth, it’s fine. But when I need Car Play for navigation it goes back to playing through the “Voice Recognition” channel, yet the car play view shows the information from MIXO….

Also, not sure if it’s supposed to be there, but there’s no MIXO app on the car play app list.

That's right, there's no CarPlay app for MIXO yet. Perhaps when we implement that it will fix the audio!


For now at least Bluetooth audio sounds perfect.

The only downside is I can’t have mixo playing via Bluetooth and then use car play for navigation at the same time. Car Play just takes over and pipes it through the voice channel. :-/

Totally understand, since I have the same problem. But it looks like a CarPlay issue, so we'll just have to push forward with the CarPlay app in the hope it will fix the issue.


Will keep you posted on progress!

Good news - I've found an alternative iOS audio implementation that seems to avoid what ever is causing the problem!


MIXO now sounds perfect via USB while I'm using CarPlay.


I'll get this into the next release for your feedback 👍

Awesome! Looking forward to giving this a bash when it's released! Got a road trip coming up in a few weeks, so this would be perfect. :-D

Just tried 1.67 in the car and it's working both with USB and wireless CarPlay now. Awesome stuff! Great work!

Wondering if there is an ETA on an actual Carplay app.
Very happy that the sound quality issues mentioned above were solved, btw. :)
