Troubleshooting CarPlay:

I would assume that it is a matter of unpairing the iPhone, and then pairing it it back. So, read the driver's manual for this. You might find a video of this on YouTube, as well.


A. Usual Manual:

Read your driver's manual to find out more about syncing this.


B. Try being in Park:

For many, they must have their automobile in park to get this to all pair.
