Libby App (via Bluetooth) on iPhone is 💩

[TractorJackie]

When I try to listen to an audiobook on Libby in my 2026 R1S, the audio breaks up and I have to use headphones instead.

I have reset/restarted my phone. I have reset the car. I have closed and reopened the app.

The audio will play fine for maybe a few seconds, then breaks up again. Anyone have any ideas/fixes?

Works perfectly on my Gen 1 Quad. I do wish there was better integration, as it is reminiscent of my 2009 Hyundai Accent with having to find my phone and start playing the audiobook from there...

@TractorJackie do you have an apple watch by any chance? I’ve sometimes found audio to be terrible from my iPhone when it’s paired to an Apple Watch, and have put the watch into airplane mode to mitigate.

I do! I'll try that hack. Thank you!

I found the same issue with GPT chat mode

I have no problems using Libby. (‘22 T LE) It may not be the app causing problems. Keep us posted on your findings!

Other than your watch - any/many other bluetooth connections?

I’ll suffer the same when I have the truck and quite a few other bluetooth connections active.

That's some premium quality entertainment you have there, by the way.
