CarPlay in my Honda Pilot is driving me crazy.

Hello CarPlayUsers,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I see from your post that you're having trouble with CarPlay staying connected to your iPhone.

I suggest ensuring your iPhone has the latest version of iOS: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If the issue persists, I suggest following the steps below, testing CarPlay after each step:

• Ensure there isn't a case on the iPhone that might be affecting how the Lightning cable connects with your device.
• Forget the stereo from Settings > General > CarPlay > [stereo name].
• Forget the iPhone from the settings of your car (check your stereo user guide for instructions).
• Rename the iPhone in Settings > General > About > Name.
• Test with a shorter Apple approved Lightning cable.

Let me know how it goes from here.

Kindest Regards.

Two days ago I updated my 7S to iOS 13. Since than it does not connect via BT to the car. It prompts the car screen with passcode. Once entered the car screen freezes - mobile is ok, but no music, no connection to the car :(.

If it is connected via cable, the car screen requires 10s reset and start again, then Apple Car play is there.

This is very annoying feature as I need to every-time connect the phone via cable even if I want to play just music, otherwise I cannot use the car screen as it freezes. My car is Volkswagen R 2017 model. I would really appreciate any support with this. I am upset that I did upgraded the software on the mobile as up until now everything worked well :((.
