It seems like sometimes the Sirius feed is coming from my phone and other times it’s the car Sirius. I even had a problem when I was hearing two different audio feeds simultaneously! I can’t figure out how this is working, how do I select which is the source for my Sirius feed? Oh, and it seems to automatically pause at times, then resumes where it left off. I’ve never had Sirius pause in any of my other cars, and I don’t know if it Is the feed from my phone that is pausing or the car feed or both.. because I can’t figure out where the feed is coming from. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks

I don't use my AA Sirius app while in the truck because I use the Sirius onboard receiver, but I did test it once briefly, it worked as expected, though IIRC my phones version of Android has a function where it can redirect the audio output, maybe there is an option selection to route to the truck, possibly make that a persistent condition?

As far as cutting in and out, might be related to cell signal buffering or roaming wifi networking transitions, I've had this problem happen on occasion when I use the app with my motorcycle helmets Sena BT device, the audio program will pause then resume sporadically. The same happens on my Harley BOOM entertainment system.

Based on my experiences it is more of a problem with the Sirius app than the Lightning.
