iOS 15.1 still doesn't fix carplay issues.

Hi All - I had similar issues with my Peugeot 3008. Here are steps I took to solve it (for most o the time)

1. UnPair Phone BlueTooth wise (forget) and Settings -> General -> CarPlay -> forget
2. Update the Car Multimedia to the latest versions possible - you can download for free from Peugeot website and create a USB key to flash update it. Read the docs carefully. do *NOT* mess this up or you will have to go service/dealer.
3. Reset Multi Media (NAC) System to factory defaults. you can find it in system settings. Bluetooth and Radio station data gets erased.
4. Pair Phone for BlueTooth via pressing the Car's Multi Media system key with the Phone icon. The car name now show as PSA RCC BT (instead of Peugeot)
5. Connect Lightning Cable to Phone to enable CarPlay (mine is wired not wireless) - don't touch anything (car wise) while u do it. No need to press Speech activation on the wheel. It will ask you on the phone if you want to allow CarPlay even if phone is locked - I allowed this but later on found this can causes sporadic issues.
6. Disable Allow CarPlay when Locked: iPhone -> Settings -> General | CarPlay | <CARNAME> and turn off Allow CarPlay when locked. Unlock your phone before you connect the iPhone to the car (no biggie)...

Important: I noticed that sometimes CarPlay won't be detected. Looks like the Car's Multi Media System has an issue here.

In this case reboot it ;-) - Disconnect the cable from the iPhone, then Press and HOLD the car's multi media system key with the Musical Note (i.e Music/Audio Source) and the Multi Media system will reboot. Wait for the car to connect BT wise and then try CarPlay again.

As of today I get much better success connecting the phone to the car and get CarPlay to work.

• This has been tested on Firmware version 093 - 30/7/21 of the multimedia system of my Peugeot 3008...
• Reboot of the multi media system as mentioned above always get CarPlay to work again if for some reason it's not detected.

Cheers
