Hello richldav,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If we understand your post correctly, you accidentally deleted the CarPlay and would like to know how to reinstall it. We're happy to help!
You'll need to setup CarPlay again.
Before you begin, if you go to Settings > General > CarPlay and if you see your car still listed let's press on Forget This Car then start the setup process again.
"Set up CarPlay
- Start your car, then make sure that Siri is on.
- Connect your iPhone to your car:
- If your car supports CarPlay with a USB cable, plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon. Be sure to use an Apple Lightning to USB cable.
- If your car supports CarPlay both wirelessly and with a USB cable, plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. An alert on your iPhone will offer to connect you wirelessly on your next drives.
- If your car supports only wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel. Make sure that your stereo is in wireless or Bluetooth mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and make sure that Wi-Fi is also turned on. Tap the CarPlay network, and check that Auto-Join is turned on. Then, go to Settings > General > CarPlay, and select your car. Check your car manual for more information.
