I can't get my Iphone 12 Pro to connect to apple car play in any of my vehicles since update to 14.6. Won't connect wirelessly or with USB. Any ideas?

I have recently done the 14.6 update and now wired CarPlay will not work. It cant even find my car in the CarPlay settings.

I’ve tried everything from turning Siri off, restarting phone, deleting phone from car and restoring through Bluetooth connection. Tried new USB cables but nothing!!

This is totally frustrating, please help!!

I had the same problem with my Honda HRV. Did the hard reset on my Honda. Followed the guide from Apple Support online. After a trip to the dealer (the tech's phone worked) then several conversations with Apple Support (b/c my husband's SE worked) it turned out to be an annoying but helpful fix: Plug your phone into your computer to pull up iTunes. Back up your phone to iCloud (turn off findmy). Restore your iPhone via iTunes. Set up your phone as a new iPhone - do not restore from iCloud. Your contacts and messages and photos will come back if you back them up but all your 3rd party apps and email accounts will have to be downloaded/added again. IT IS SUPER ANNOYING but worked like a charm. CarPlay is finally working again with my 11 Pro.
