Second, when using carplay there is some audio skipping every 15 seconds or so (used both Spotify and apple music app). Anyone know how to fix this?
Sounds like you may have a faulty controller knob. I haven't had that issue myself. Sometimes I have to hold a button down for a half a second to a second rather than giving ita quick tap, give that a shot and see if it makes a difference.

I bought my Carplay dongle directly from Avin and it can get firmware updates directly from the app. You may have issues with a 3rd party Carplay dongle.... Maybe try either turning off bluetooth or disconnecting bluetooth entirely on your phone to see if that fixes the audio skipping problem though.

Good Luck!
