CarPlay issues

While I’m waiting for my new 7 to arrive, I’ve had to send my 6 in for some work and I have a loaner mini. It has all the bells and whistles so I thought I’d give CarPlay a good go before i get it in my 7 to see how well it works. I know there has been a lot of negative stuff said about it and a lot of it is justified but actually, I find it quite useable and useful for me, as long as I use Idrive nav so that I get info on the HUD. But there is one issue I can’t work out. Playing music and changing tracks works fine, and when I first pair the iPhone the first time, correct track info is displayed in the hud, which was unexpected. But as soon as I get out and In and reconnect, the track display in hud stays on the last item I played, be it a song or radio station from radioplayer etc. Changing tracks still works. The only way to fix it is to unpair the phone and start again.

Anyone got any ideas why this could be or could you try it on yours to see what the behaviour is like?

Thanks
