Hi! For the second part on arbitrary local file, does it include assetURL obtained from MPMediaItem? I've been facing a similar issue but with error code -54 when I do "file = try AVAudioFile(forReading: url!)". Thank you. Kind regards, 8K

Facing the same issue. It has been a problem for a few betas now. Not sure if it will ever be fixed.

Good news! The issue seems to have been fixed in Beta 8. FINALLY!

Facing the same issue. Still not resolved

Getting a similar issue right now. After the first "Hey Siri", carplay stops receiving new Siri commands and apps start going crazy.
