Radio Station drop out

[Albert van den Elsen]

So far all works super.

I have connected my iPhone to car radio with Apple Car Play.
Every time MRA NAV Next gives an instruction the radio station drops out.
Therefore, I have disabled the voice instructions.

@Albert-van-den-Elsen Could you elaborate on "drops out"?

The radio should be slightly dimmed and when the voice instruction is done, the radio volume should be turned back up.

I tested it today with CarPlay Spotify + NavNext voice instructions and that works as described above

I'm sorry to tell but the MRA Navigation beeps every time the voice instruction comes on. Then my Radio goes on silent and does not come back active.

@Albert-van-den-Elsen That’s very clear! Could you check if the same happens when using Spotify / Apple Music?

What radio app are you using with CarPlay? I’ll investigate

[Albert van den Elsen]

@Corjan-Meijerink Example,
In combination with Flitmeister, Sygic, Waze I have no problem at all. Of course the volume decreases a bit, but after the road instructions is gone the volume increases again to the previous setting. If I turn off the spoken voice instruction the radio stays on.

@Albert-van-den-Elsen Thanks. It should indeed work like that. Feel free to let me know if the same issue occurs when using Navigation Next icm with CarPlay Spotify.

Please note: Navigation Next itself does not yet run on CarPlay.

@Corjan-Meijerink I'll try it tomorrow.
Thanx for your support

@Albert-van-den-Elsen No problem! Thank you for testing. Only with the help of the community we are able to make this app excellent.

I am really looking forward to your answer tomorrow. This evening I drove home using Spotify on CarPlay with Navigation Next and it worked flawlessly (regarding dimming the audio)

@Corjan-Meijerink Hello Rorjan,
Update:

I find out what the problem is.
It has nothing to do with Navigation Next.
My Pioneer Radio causes the problem.
When I turn on Spotify, Digital Radio on my iPhone or other audio player on my iPhone or Appple CarPlay Audio app everything goes well.
When I turn on my DAB+ Radio everythime before a nav instruction starts I hear a short beep and the radio turns off.
Hereby I'll close this ticket.
Thank you for your quick responses.

For now I must say, I'm very sattified whit the new app.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Albert-van-den-Elsen Very happy to hear that! Makes my life easier knowing that it works as it should.

Not saying that the issue can now be closed but it confirms that we did stuff the right way. It can really be that the other device causes an issue and we have no control over that.

Will continue research at a later moment but it drops a bit on my long list of requirements / requests

Really appreciate your follow-up! Without that, stuff becomes more difficult for us tot tackle. Getting the right info is crucial
