If anyone is interested in being part of our testing for the new app, you can join testflight by following this link -  https://testflight.apple.com/join/jZqkheKS It will give you the latest update to test. Right now we are working on V9.0.4. Thank you!!

I have 2 vehicles.  Checked 9.0.3 update and RP does not show on Carplay app list.  This is bad.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for restoring CarPlay.  I joined the beta in testflight but it is the same version (9.0.3) as is currently available in the app store. No big deal but in case someone just wants CarPlay back, you can get it in the app store currently without joining and loading through the testflight app. I'll stay on testflight in case a new beta comes out, I can test it.

Is there anyway to access the cache directly from Car Play? It seems the only way at the moment is the access the cache from the app on the phone. Any ideas?

Hello Fine RP Folks, We are now on V 9.0.3 with the iOS app. If you haven't updated to this version please do.. Lots of fixes like CarPlay and Download function among others. We'd love to enlist more beta tester for our upcoming updates. Any takers? If you're interested, just follow this link - https://testflight.apple.com/join/jZqkheKS

This is great news Alana.  The other issues will be addressed as well?  Namely:

1. Starting up the cached playlist proceeds from where you left off rather than it resetting to the beginning of the same cache?  At the moment if I don’t want to do a groundhog day music loop, my only choice is to renew the cache before each start of play.

2. Shortcut to the cached playlist - as a button on front screen (as before) rather than behind the tiny download icon and then scrolling to the right download and then hitting play button partially obscured by the renew button?  For users launching while/before driving these new steps are cumbersome and even hard to navigate.

I have to admit that since the app changes, I have gone from 100% RP listening to maybe 10%.  most of that on the home iPad that did not get the app update. I really miss the awesome music selection but the issues make it just too hard.

I know you have all been getting a lot of stick about the changes but we do appreciate that you are listening and willing to take the feedback onboard.  I look forward to the fixes!

As the originator of this post a couple months ago, I’m happy to see this resolved with the latest update! Thanks to everyone at RP for making this happen so quickly.

I had a moment of panic when only one of my two CarPlay vehicles showed RP in its App list (from Settings->CarPlay on the iPhone). But both vehicles worked like a charm when the phone was connected. 

Am a loyal RP devotee and supporter & preach the RP gospel to all my friends ...and while I welcome the cleaner interface & efficiency of the latest version, the loss of Car play functionality is a veritable disaster for me.  I do 80% of my RP listening in the car and the loss of Car Play interface means that I am tempted into operating RP on my mobile exposing me and other road users to risks of distraction which is of course unacceptable. Whilst yes I can launch the RP app before I start my journey, the fact remains if I wish to change track or channel i have to pull over and park. Furthermore the app connectivity regularly drops with the new version which means that I have to close and relaunch the app. which again can only be done safely if I pull over,  which on the motorway (Interstate) is not possible. This has destroyed the listening experience while driving. I`m a huge RP fan but I ask whether the new Team have reached the right conclusion on this....as this could lose a massive share of RP listeners.. sadly including me! 

Looking at (Gemini Chatbot) data on Apple car Play & future plans across the brands the vast majority seem to be sticking with Car Play or adopting the new Ultra Car Play version

A) Continuing to use standard apple car play = Ford/Lincoln, Stellantis (Jeep/ChryslerFiat/RAM +), Honda/Accura, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, BMW;     B) Adopting Ultra Carplay = Aston Martin, Porsche, Hyundai/ Kia /Genesis, Audi, Renault, Landrover / Jaguar;   C) Non Car Play Brand Specific Interfaces: GM, Tesla , Rivian

Looking at 2025/26 data 98% in the US and 90% of cars Globally are are shipped with Car Play ...Going forward circa 85% of cars will be produced with standard or Ultra Apple Car Play and only 15% with Non Car Play interfaces.  

I appreciate the resources may make the continuation of RP in Apple Car Play an expensive proposition (BTW am definitey not an apple disciple),  but i for one would be happy to make a special contribution to make this happen :)   .....maybe there are enough of us out here to help the Team financially to do this. 

The newly-designed RP app for iOS looks cool. But it no longer shows up in CarPlay! Please please please fix this. :) 

You have abandoned some of your largest listener base. Please please please fix this. 90% of my RP listening is (WAS) with the app while driving, and CarPlay is essential for me so I can use voice for texting, to use Notes to create a ToDo about an artist or song that just played, to reroute navigation. When I’m not in my car I’m usually in a place where I can’t listen to music. So the new app has ripped away my favorite radio stations. Abandoned me. Not happy.

You have lost me as a listener. 

I know Android is the most prevalent phone OS globally, but in the US, Japan, Canada, Australia, UK, and some Nordic countries it’s IOS. You have just abandoned a whole lot of the world.
