Amazon Music audio terrible Apple CarPlay

Lately Amazon Music sounds terrible when using Apple CarPlay. It sounds like it’s coming through a cheap 2” speaker. Very tinny sounding, not full.


Bluetooth sounds fine but I obviously then lose the CarPlay features.


I signed up for Spotify this morning and did a direct A/B test through apple car play. Spotify sounds normal.


What is going on here?

Hello Adam_SDG,


It sounds as though CarPlay is working with Spotify successfully, so the CarPlay feature is working as designed. However, you're having issues while using Amazon Music with CarPlay. In this case, we'd recommend troubleshooting the Amazon Music app using these steps: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

- If you found the app on the App Store, contact the app developer. If the app is made by Apple or came with your iPhone or iPad, contact Apple Support for your iPhone or for your iPad.
