CarPlay Connection Issues - Freezing, Lagging, or Unresponsive Screen

CarPlay frequently freezes, becomes unresponsive to touch, or doesn't respond to motorcycle controls during use.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

This issue is typically caused by using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection, which has lower bandwidth and is more susceptible to interference, resulting in unstable CarPlay performance.

Step 1: Switch to 5GHz Connection

  1. Go to the Screen Mirroring Settings page on your RiderNav Display

  2. Locate the Wi-Fi frequency option

  3. Disable the 2.4GHz setting

  4. Ensure the 5GHz connection is enabled

Step 2: Reconnect CarPlay

  1. Disconnect your iPhone from CarPlay

  2. Restart both your iPhone and the RiderNav Display

  3. Reconnect via CarPlay using the 5GHz connection

Expected Results: After switching to 5GHz, you should experience:

  • Smoother CarPlay operation

  • Faster response time

  • Stable connection without freezing

  • Better touch screen responsiveness

Additional Tips:

  • Keep your iPhone's iOS updated to the latest version

  • Ensure your RiderNav Display firmware is up to date

  • If issues persist after switching to 5GHz, try forgetting the device on your iPhone and re-pairing
