E/W214: Apple Music + Dolby Atmos after update — anyone got it working?
- Head unit firmware: E333.8-58
- After update: the built-in Apple Music app disappeared
- Current workaround: only way to play Apple Music is via CarPlay
- Problem: CarPlay doesn’t seem to output Dolby Atmos
- iOS: 26 (claims Atmos support), but I can’t get Atmos to engage
- Toggled Atmos settings in Apple Music (Automatic/Always On)
- Re-paired phone, restarted head unit
- Tested multiple Atmos-labeled tracks and playlists
- Checked audio output options in CarPlay
Has anyone with E333.8-58 and iOS 26 managed to get Dolby Atmos working through CarPlay? If yes, what exact settings/steps did you use?
