Play/Stop Button Not Working with CarPlay in 2023 Forte LXS

Hi all…

I recently got a 2023 Kia Forte LXS, and I’ve noticed that the play/stop button on the steering wheel isn’t working when I’m using CarPlay. Whenever I press it, nothing happens, and I’m not sure if this is a known issue or if it’s just my car.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Should I be concerned, or is this something that might be fixed with a software update? I’m planning to visit the dealership later this week to confirm, but any insights or advice in the meantime would be greatly appreciated… :thinking:

It might be worth checking for any available software updates. Sometimes these issues are resolved with a simple update. I had a similar problem and updated the car’s software.

It sounds like you might be confusing the cruise control button with the audio controls. On the 2023 Kia Forte LXS, the play/stop button you mentioned is likely part of the cruise control system rather than the audio system.
