And could maybe use Siri/ Apple Shortcuts to change tracks/playlists with a voice command - but your phone becomes the main interface and is probably a bit of a faff.

While I am not too familiar with the specifics of the 718 PCM, to answer your main question, BT does not transmit the tracklist to the PCM, leaving connecting the cable & using CarPlay as the only option.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Hi guys, Apple CarPlay works flawlessly on my GT4 but there are times where I can't be asked connecting my phone. I've seen wireless adapters but from all the reviews I've read, they're not 100% reliable so I'd rather not bother with them.
Music streams great via bluetooth too but is there a way to access Spotify playlists? I can't remember from the top of my head but I think when streaming music, there's a button that says "Library" and within that I can see "Spotify" but when I click on it, nothing happens. The assumption here is that it would let me see my Spotify playlists/library. Is this not the case?

Cheers mate. Strange that PCM has Browse & Spotify displaying when it doesn’t do anything.
CarPlay it is.
It's the same on the 981 - there's a tracklist button (or a word like that) but doesn't actually show anything.
The PCM buttons do work to advance the track though so you have some control. And could maybe use Siri/ Apple Shortcuts to change tracks/playlists with a voice command - but your phone becomes the main interface and is probably a bit of a faff.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
