If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support

"Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS. If your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS, follow these steps — checking CarPlay after each step:

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.

2. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.

3. Restart your iPhone and your car. 

4. Make sure that Siri is on.

5. 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.

6. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.

7. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information."

Have a great day!

Same here , try your fuses or your antenna on your car or even disconnect and plug your car battery back in.

I’m still having this issue. The static always happens with Siri. I either get static or it will just hang and time out. None of the updates have corrected it and it’s not a car issue since it happens in both my cars which are completely different manufacturers.

And if you’ve done all this and still have static when making calls? What next?

Having the same problem myself. Tried all the steps to fix this but still having problems with the static, distortion sound with audio.
