If I hit the radio button, it starts playing the radio and I can then go back to Android Auto. Does it not work for you that way? I would also make sure you have autoplay disabled if Apple CarPlay has such an option.

Thank, I’ll give that a try. I’m also going to try to get the speed limit sign to display in the DID. It shows up in the NAV screen, but still trying to get it to display on the driver screen ( as it did in my ‘22 Tucson.

I figured this out after a few months. I have an iPhone and plug it in a lot.

If I am using Google Maps from the phone I get that setup first. Then I have to press the MODE button on the upper left of the steering wheel. That will change back to the car radio and keeps Google Maps on the screen. Then you can use the phone apps for phone, messages, etc.

It will first go to FM mode. Keep pressing the MODE button and work your way to XM Satellite. It’s tricky getting used to it but it works.

Hyundai still needs to fix this so Car Play really works on Bluetooth, not by wire.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try!
I assume you mean SXM on the car, right? Because if you have it on your phone only, I don't think you can do both, correct? I have SXM on the G70, so have to listen to it from my phone on the SF. I haven't used CP while traveling yet, but I set it up just in case, since the car's nav is absolute crap on large cities. So will use CP with Google maps next time. And I assume in that case (using google maps in CP), I cannot additionally listen to either Spotify, or SXM, from my phone, correct? Thx.

Read above. Two posts show how it is done, so be sure to try next time you travel.
I did, but that's to listen to XM FROM THE CAR. I don't have XM on the SF (only on the G70), so would have to play it from my phone (as an APP). I don't think it can be done with Google at the same time, but if I ever have to use Google with CP, would ask my wife to play with it and see if it's possible. Without XM on the car, I typically listen to Spotify, so it'd be great if I can listen to either Spotify or SXM APP while having Google active. But without using the car's radio at all, the car setting would stay in MEDIA (bluetooth) only. So it'd be up to CP to allow maps (Google), and another source (Spotify or SMX APP). The other challenge will be to listen to map directions on the car; couldn't figure out how to do it last time. Wish we could make the map directions appear on the HUD, like with the factory nav; then I wouldn't really need voice directions. We'll figure out what can and cannot be done next time we need Google:).

Well if you are talking about an app on the phone, that's an entirely different issue from what this asked about I thought. Sirius-XM would have to make their application compatible with ACP or AA.
One of these days I might play with the phone, and see if I can make Google to spit instructions over the speakers. And also if I can play either Spotify, SMX, or neither, while Google maps has an active route. When I first set CP up, I had to make several changes to the phone, which now annoyingly announces who's calling, to supposedly be able to hear instructions via car speakers, but no dice. Not sure what else I'm missing. Will come back and post what I find when I get to try it. It's 100F in my garage, so don't feel like trying it until I have to use the car for something. My next trip is June 17, so will use it then for sure. And won't need Google there, so no need to do anything prior to that trip. Thanks guys.

I’m a cheap bas… well, you get the idea. I just have the SXM on the car. Im going to try a suggestion from another SF owner ( stargate? ) by using CarPlay NAV then hit the mode button on the steering wheel to rotate the music back to SXM. Haven’t had the opportunity yet, but I will this weekend.

Yeah, me too; that's why I only have it in one car. Ha ha. And with the subscription of the G70 ($5/month, so $6.50 with all fees, and for Platinum), I get the app too, so that's why I use the app for the SF, so I don't have to pay for another subscription, when we hardly drive. And for the other vehicle, there was no great deal, so no way I'd have paid like $15/month extra. I might try to get it transferred back to the SF before the trip, without having to pay anything. We'll see, since I already got away with that once (from the SF to the G70). Ha ha. Take care.

I don't see such option listed.. but on the apps, there's 'Now Playing', and cannot be removed. I put it at the bottom, but not sure what it does. The car also has settings, right? Need to mess wit those, to see what's there. At any rate, I tried SXM via Bluetooth, and the up/down button on the steering wheel doesn't work, so that sucks. I have to manually change stations, which is not going to happen while driving. Need to test if I could do that from the screen in CP mode; it's be better, but if the steering wheel buttons work in CP mode, it'd be perfect. Need to mess with that one of these days. Ha ha.
