Wireless Carplay issues once moving to IOS 14, 14.0.1 and then 14.1 (No issue when I had IOS 13.7)

Well no, that's still not correct. Every iOS update API is sent to all the car manufacturers well in advance of a public release. It's still up to the manufacturers to ensure their car systems will work with any new API. Mercedes rolls out updates to my car over the air. I've never had to deal with an incompatibility issue with CarPlay.

I tried iOS 14.4 on my IPhone 12 Pro and my new Kia Stonic for a day and I think the situation is slightly better. Only 2 disconnection in 2 hours. Don’t know, but tomorrow I will try it in a 3 hour long journey, with Google Maps and Music.

Wish me luck.

They are lying to you there is an update but it seems not to work well anyway ouch to get it otherwise they will never do anything about this. By the way I updated my iPhone to 14.4 today car play worked perfectly but it was a short trip

Apple can't fix Kia's broken entertainment system software - perhaps one reason Kia and Samsung are going to NVIDIA DRIVE starting with the 2022 model year:

Went to

my dealership today for update within ten minutes of leaving I was playing music through USB port and tried switching back to car play black screen and would not reconnect with my phone for car play went into store and came out phone connected with car play so stand by for updates also tried to go into my phone wile connected and phone shut off.

I notice that if I’m using Apple Music, the disconnection doesn’t occur as often, usually once or twice every half an hour. With the Maps app running I seem to get disconnected nearly 3-5 times every 10 minutes. Sometimes as many as 2-3 times every minute! It’s incredibly unsafe to have to keep pushing the CarPlay button constantly while driving.

I got the update in my Kia K5 a couple weeks ago. Yesterday the dreaded error message popped up again. Everyone needs to keep continuing their efforts and call the dealership. The more dealerships are having to deal with constant services the more likely we will get a permanent solution.

That’s a very interesting and plausible cause of these interruptions. The Kia update has improved my system but I still get cut outs. And yes it is more associated with built up areas and highways which makes sense considering the competition for signals.

if this is the cause then perhaps a mobile wifi is the answer?

So I filed complaint about this issue with Kia. Get a call from a representative today. Long story short was "yea sorry nothing we can do nor are working on this." Guess we just have to deal with it. Thankfully I am in a short term lease.

There’s in not a fix yet for the Kia K5.

the update they performed only lasted a week. The other day while on a road trip it went crazy. Worse than it ever has been, giving me the error message every second. I got it all on video using my husbands phone.

we need to stand up together and do the same thing.

complaining to your local dealership is not going to cut it. I didn’t spend this much money for this crap. Start giving bad reviews on every site you can think of... Kelly blue book etc.

where can we all go to to make our voice heard. I want my money back.

this should be considered a lemon. I also paid extra to have the “technology warranty”.

For what it is worth, my service advisor told me yesterday that Kia is aware of the problem, they know the last update did not fix it, and they are currently working on it. Everyone now commence with breath holding.

I have recently had Hyundai buy back my 2021 i30 N-Line for the same issue here in Australia. The experience many have written about is verbatim to mine...in the end, I could not see this being resolved and rejected the vehicle on the basis it had been looked at 3 times and no fix was offered in a "reasonable timeframe" and was effectively not fit for purpose. I am surprised an alternative head unit was not offered as a solution.

I've got a 2017 Sorento and CarPlay has only worked twice since the ios 14 update. it just worked this afternoon with the latest ios 14.5 for all of 30 minutes and then stopped. Now it will not work no matter what I try. Anything older (my sons iphone 8 running 12) works fine. I've contacted Kia via email and they said that there is not an update for my model and doubt there was going to be one. This whole affair is stupid!!! I do a lot of driving and trying to use maps on my phone

just causes so many more issues I've gone back to my Garmin. At least they keep the updates working.

If you have a Kia/Hyundai, yes, iOS 14 is where Kia/Hyundai messed up the interface for Wireless Car Play. Apple provides update API's to all car manufacturers with every update. It's up to the manufacturers to ensure their systems work with the software. Apple has NO CONTROL over the software in any car system. None whatsoever. So Kia/Hyundai needs to get their systems working right. Apple can't fix it.

I do t have the Waze app and I only have wireless CarPlay. Still the same disconnection problem. I watched my Phone at one of the spots it disconnects and nothing happened with the phone it just the head unit on my car disconnected. I am prone to think that it’s a Hyundai problem and not Apple. Maybe I’m wrong.
