Hello ejhm177,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We see you viewed the Apple Support page to Find answers and ask questions in Apple Support Communities - Apple Support
We want to get your iPhone 13 Pro connecting to CarPlay as expected again.
If you're using Bluetooth, use the steps on this Apple Support page to establish the connection:
"Connect using Bluetooth
- Restart your device.
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and turn off Bluetooth. Wait for about 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on.
- Check the manual that came with your car for more information on how to pair with a Bluetooth device. Most cars require a phone setup on the car display.
- If you've connected multiple phones to your car stereo, try renaming your device: Go to Settings > General > About > Name, and type a new name. Then try connecting again.
- Update your device.
- Make sure that your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.
If you still can't connect, contact Apple Support."
This Apple Support page has the full details: How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car - Apple Support
We hope this helps to get your iPhone connecting to CarPlay normally again.
Cheers!
