CarPlay on iOS 15.2.1 not working

Hey!

after installing iOS 15.2.1 on my iPhone 12 Pro my BMW CarPlay stopped working properly. I can play music, however I can’t turn on the CarPlay app screen. This way it’s useless for me.


Tried reconnecting the phone, restarting the phone, check if there’s a firmware update for the car. Nothing works for me.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

With my Honda Civic 2022, I lost my ability to connect to CarPlay with IOS 15.2.1 update. I tried rebooting my phone and reconnecting to CarPlay with both my phone, a 13 Pro Max, and my wife's phone, a 13 mini, and was not able to get a connection to Car Play. I knew that the car to phone Bluetooth connections were good because outside of carplay the connection to my car worked. All this said, I did find a painful solution that I will now share. I erased and reset my phone and setup as "NEW". As soon as I did this, I found the connection between CarPlay, and my iPhone worked again. There may be less painful ways to fix this issue but this worked for me, so I am moving forward.
