Infotainment Lag

[sbkim]

So it's been just a couple days since taking delivery of '21. So far, so good and really enjoying the car. Just had a couple quick questions for the experts:

1. From day one, I've had some issues with lagging infotainment. It seems to take a bit of time before the screen responds. I've heard others complain about this but is there a way to "reboot" the infotainment system just in case it's software related? I don't' want to go as far as pulling the fuse yet since everything still works. I may try to increase touch screen sensitivity to see if that helps.

2. Only happened once so far but Carplay froze on me and eventually had to turn on and off the car to reboot. Are you able to run Carplay and have the phone connected via Bluetooth (Hands free link)? Or is it advisable not to have my phone paired to Bluetooth if I am planning to use Carplay.


Thanks!

I’ve noticed problem 1 just a few times and hasn’t been bad.

Problem 2 has been a real annoyance and happens mid drive often. I read it was an iPhone software issue but even after updating still happens.

Item 1 is real, and rebooting won't help. It's not as bad as my 2014 MDX, but much worse than my 2011 ZDX.

Item 2 is bad enough that I just don't use Android Auto (I'm not an Apple guy, so no Carplay).

For my 17… #1 mine reacts ok, not super fast and it doesn’t lag too much to make me think there’s a problem. #2 I don’t use Bluetooth, it’s not paired, and wired car play works fine.

Thanks everyone. I'll just learned to deal with it and focus more on driving.

Hey SBKim, congrats on your NSX! Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see more pics!

I ended up replacing my iPhone cable as sometimes I would have to wait for car play to function. Worst case unplug the phone and plug back in. Never had a freeze in this car. I could always change source and play Sirius. Even my 2017 Bolvo will lock up requiring my turning the car off then on again. The key seems to plug in your phone before you start the car.

Good point. Just to make sure it's not the cable, I just replaced my old generic cable with this (U shaped ) so you can actually have the phone inside the cradle area in the car.

Also, I was going back and forth between car's Bluetooth and CarPlay which may have contributed to my issue.
