Hence I learned to pivot to have the best of both worlds…… :-)

Hmmm, another thought - adblocker?

I use an adblocker, but even so, some get through.

It's not a big deal, honestly. But a simple on/off switch in iPhone Safari for "don't allow website media to overtake CarPlay" would solve the problem.

Same problem with my MB G63

Hi all - Thought I’d bump this thread to see if anyone found any solutions.

Thanks!

There are none. And the solution would come from Apple, not BMW, so it's best to go to those forums to see if there is an iPhone-based setting that we're not aware of. This isn't a BMW "problem". It's a conscious decision by Apple in their design of CarPlay.

Their view is that the driver's phone is connected to CarPlay and anything that the driver has brought to the foreground in the iPhone is what audio should play in the car. If it's a Navigation app it plays Nav audio, if it's a Music app it plays Music, if it's a Video app it plays Video audio. So if you lend your iPhone to a passenger, disconnect CarPlay. That's the solution.
