I have the same issue. I know it is the phone and not the car because my wife's phone still works in my car and she hasn't updated to iOS16.

After a little testing, I found that if I turn off my VPN, the CarPlay sees my phone, like normal. Clearly, Apple needs to push out a fix because I'm not turning off my VPN every time I get in my car.

Prior to iOS 16, CarPlay in my 2022 car to my Apple 12 Pro Max worked perfectly. Now on iOS 16, it will disconnect without warning. Followed all of the suggestions to fix it with limited success. The biggest issues I'm running into is that I can't hear or use text messaging. I can launch the text from Siri or manually, but the little circle is frozen. I will also see the red dot for new messages.

IOS16.1 recently updated in malaysia.. I have problem to listen to sound/music after connect to CarPlay. This is really troublesome because I’m often travel and not able to listen to music or listen to map instruction during driving.. it’s really troublesome for me.. I already did reset phone, reconfigure Bluetooth, CarPlay and I’m not using vpn.. need help from Apple to fix this. Really disappointment Apple still release this software although before fixing it to Malaysia
