My carplay had been working fine until about a week ago, when suddenly it stopped. The sat radio and mini apps work fine. The indication that carplay is an option no longer shows up. When I try to restart carplay, following guidance from mini, there is no carplay option to check. Any ideas?
I have the same exact issue. My 2020 Mini Carplay stopped working on Monday. I've tried restarting my phone, unpairing my phone and removing it from the car, resetting network settings and non of these worked for me. I've even updated the car's firmware with no luck. From what I can see, the option to pair through Carplay no longer appears on the car's display. Upon trying to establish a new connection, it does so through a non-CarPlay connection requiring the use of the built-in media and navigation apps rather than CarPlay. This is frustrating :(
Quick update on this issue: I tried setting up my car again today, and I managed to get it to work! On the car display, I went to My MINI-System settings -Mobile devices -Settings. What I found was that the checkbox for Apple CarPlay has reappeared but it was unchecked. I only had to re-enable it and set up a new device like I usually do and that solved it!
Exactly my problem. I have done all those steps too and still have no carplay option showing on the mini. I hope to take in to mini service this week for fix.
