CarPlay app won't load content untill I open it on the phone

Hi, I have an issue here:

I was using iPhone XR and connecting with Ford Focus CarPlay, and everything as running OK.

In recent month, I did a migration from XR to iPhone 13 Pro, and the issue appears:

  • in certain Apps, e.g. Overcast, Plexamp, if I browse the playlist or content inside from the car screen, it's empty (it doesn't load for m)
  • if then I turn to the phone, open the corresponding App there, the content shows immediately from the car


Anybody have an idea here, please?
