When I picked mine up, the order was:
Autobahn
Highway Star
Freeway Jam
then I was home!

 

[Hirschaj]

I’d probably start off with the Top Gun anthem, then right into Danger Zone, then your playlist you already picked.

 

[Visceral]

My road tunes from Spotify

 

[Archimedes]

I wouldn’t overthink it OP. CarPlay’s probably not gonna work anyway…

 

[zzy45]

deadmau5 - A Moment To Myself

 

[TXAG]

I wouldn’t overthink it OP. CarPlay’s probably not gonna work anyway…

I use the Musicolet app on my Android and will Bluetooth...

CarPlay worked for me from the time I picked up my car (set it up at the dealer) and continues to work without issue. Had to relog once after an OTA update, but other than that zero issues with CarPlay

Well, I took a different 'route' on my pick-up day. No music, no radio, no distractions for an hour ride home. I just wanted to be involved in the experience of driving my car home. Hitting a couple of apex's on entry and exit ramps as well as some 'country road' apex's when traffic allowed and a few, well maybe more than a few, full accelerations. I arrived home with a really big smile - ?. Saying that....................take a really long ride home and play your whole list!?

I use the Musicolet app on my Android and will Bluetooth...

In that case, Zamfir. Two hours straight of Zamfir.

Love the play list.

Nice! OK, I'm old school but hey Bluetooth works.

Never heard of Zamfir until now, but the closest thing to him I have is Inka Gold's The Bridge . Perfect for a morning drive to a hike in the Arizona saguaro forests.

 

[Fish Fingers]

Well music is obviously a very personal thing.....

My playlist would have been very different to the OP and unknown by most people I guess, so not worth posting.

That said, if it is a nice lazy summer evening, I always like cruising round listening to something like (the original) Summer Madness....or similar

 

[BigBob]

'Electric Avenue' by Eddy Grant, surely?

 

[mutanthands]

'Electric Avenue' by Eddy Grant, surely?

I'm going with Ollie & Jerry - Electric Boogaloo
