Carplay

Hi Don Bauerle,

Please see. the following steps from: If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support

1. "Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:

• If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.
• If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled under Settings > Wi-Fi and Settings > Bluetooth.

1. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.
2. Restart your iPhone and your car. 
3. Make sure that Siri is on.
4. If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
5. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
6. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

If you still have issues connecting to CarPlay, contact Apple Support."

Cheers.

Turning off my VPN (ExpressVPN) solved the problem. I've seen other threads with other VPN vendors (in addition to mine) that are reporting the exact issue. It wasn't an issue until I updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max to iOS16. Hopefully, release iOS 16.1 will address this issue.
