iPhone won't automatically connect to car Wi-Fi

My iphone used to be able to Auto-Join my car Wifi with SW ver 15, but when i upgraded to SW ver 16, my phone stopped Auto-Join Car Wifi and now I have to connect manually. I do not have any issues auto-joining Home network or any other Auto-Join networks. This seems to only impact my Car Wifi. I have also turned "Private Wi-Fi Address" On and Off and that did not work. Is anyone else seeing this issue with the latest Software release? Thanks!

I struggled with the same issue and I was able to resolve it by creating a configuration profile that tells the iPhone to connect to the Car wifi.

Here is a website that helps to create such a profile:

I have selected WPA2, Hidden yes, Auto Join yes. Save the content of the window as some_name.mobileconfig and send it to your iPhone (e.g. by email). Open it and then go to Settings to completed the activation.

Hope that helps someone.
