Hi Morgan_4811,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.
Are you able to isolate the issue further and try connecting to another vehicle with CarPlay and testing the issue? This would let you know if the issue is with the iPhone or your vehicle's CarPlay system
Though this isn't a connection issue, we'd also advise following these steps: If you need help with CarPlay. Sometimes just setting up CarPlay again resolves issues like this.
"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:
- 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.
If you still have issues connecting to CarPlay, contact Apple Support."
Have a fantastic day!
