    I have a 2024 Prius Limited and am struggling with CarPlay.
    1. I figured out how to get into CarPlay but how does one get back to the Prius main screen setup, etc.
    2. I have read CarPlay can be unstable. Have you found this true?

    1. Tap the Toyota icon in the set of app icons. I have it set up as the sixth icon so that it appears at the bottom left of the first screen.
    2. If the phone's connection is lost, CarPlay will be interrupted. I connect wirelessly. I find I get momentary interruptions every so often, but I only get full Bluetooth loss that necessitates rebooting the system a few times a year.
    Note: you can reboot the system by pushing the volume knob on display and holding it until the Toyota emblem appears.

    Thanks for the tip on #2... Did not know that... The way I been resolving the weird disconnect issues with CarPlay is going into the Toyota setting disconnect and reconnect back to my phone.

    I do have a few issues with CarPlay myself. After driving my wife's Kia with CarPlay and installing an aftermarket CarPlay on my 2004 Prius. There are some things that just work different that I don't like. After searching the forums, it seems like something I just need to deal with, which I feel is unfortunate.
