How to set Carplay's default music app?

3 years ago by HeartyBeast to c/apple

I have an an called BBC Sounds on my phone, which lets me stream BBC radio stations. I also use it in the car sometimes.

But Carplay has decided for some reason that this is my default music app, not Apple Music.

So if I say "Hey Siri, play some music". It will reply "Now playing music on BBC Sounds" - and immediately fail.

So I have to keep saying "Hey Siri, play music on Apple Music" - which gets a bit old. Any ideas?

Today I said “hey Siri set default music app to Apple Music” and … it didn’t complain. The next time I tried playing music it used Apple Music.

No idea if it will stick- or if it actually did anything. But maybe worth a try?
