Can't shuffle

Latest update to my iPad has caused the shuffle function to stop working when playing music in my 2021.5 VW Atlas. Each time a song is finished the shuffle function shuts off when advancing to the next song. So for now my options are to reengage the shuffle button each time after a new song is selected which is annoying and unsafe or allow each song to play alphabetically. What to do?

Hello rupca,


Based on what you've shared it sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with CarPlay specifically. If this is correct, get started here: If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support


"If CarPlay doesn't work like you expect, learn what to do.


  1. Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:
    • If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.
    • If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on on your iPhone under Settings > Bluetooth. Then go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and make sure that Wi-Fi is also turned on. Tap the CarPlay network, and check that Auto-Join is turned on.
  1. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display and select it.
  2. Restart your iPhone and your car. 
  3. Make sure that Siri is on.
  4. If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If Content & Privacy Restrictions is on, tap Allowed Apps, and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
  5. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
  6. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information."
