This happens in mine and it bugs me too. It does seem like a bit of a rough edge and it’s surprising that they implemented it this way. Maybe a future firmware update could change this behavior?
CarPlay disconnected after engine shut off
Hi there,
Took the delivery of my new 2019 Forester last week and has been loving it! Though I have discovered an annoying issue: when I use CarPlay and when I shut my engine off after reaching destination, the CarPlay is automatically stopped and disconnected. The audio is switched to Radio... This is quite annoying as I would be fine if it just shuts off the entire audio but instead it starts playing radio...
Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance to any suggestions.

@tobin Well a firmware patch could definitely correct this, but the question is whether Subaru will implement/correct.
According to several posts I read after posting here, it seems like this problem has existed since 2017 Impreza... So, no, I don't have hope that Subaru will correct this issue...
But! So far I noticed 2 possible solutions:
I will try them tomorrow and hopefully one of them works on my car... cheers buddy.

But! So far I noticed 2 possible solutions:
- Plug an audio cable in AUX and select AUX, so when engine shuts off, it automatically goes back to AUX, which is slient
- Select Serius XM channel 0, which has no audio, and works similarly to the above
I will try them tomorrow and hopefully one of them works on my car... cheers buddy.
