Ok, you’re on a different train from me - mine has 0751 on it.After about 5-10 minutes on a call, the audio becomes distorted, almost like crackling; very glitchy and robotic sounding. Unplugging/replugging fixes it temporarily, but it happens again after several minutes. Only occurs with phone calls via CarPlay; music/podcast playback is fine, and phone calls over Bluetooth do not have the same issue. Also happens with multiple iPhones and with multiple kinds of cables (including Apple OEM), so it's either a bug in iOS 14 or an issue with the head unit (force restart of infotainment didn't resolve.) My local VW dealer insists there's no updates available for it though I'm not sure how much I trust that determination. My 844B is currently on 0890.
My iPhone gets really warm when CarPlay is running. I guess some of that is down to the maps constantly reflecting your position but even so, if I pick up the phone and use it while it’s connected (while parked obviously) then it goes through the roof - if CarPlay hasn’t cut out already, you can guarantee that it will then.
Seems to get warm if I use Siri for any time also.
I need to test with another iPhone from mine to see if it’s the same. I didn’t have a chance to do that tonight but will tomorrow.
What’s the “full” software version and I’ll check to see if there is a newer 08xx version available - not exhaustive but worth checking.
