Apple CarPlay GPS wrong location issue

I have the same problem. I narrowed it down to be the GPS in my 2022 Audi that is giving wrong position information to my iPhone over car play. If I disconnect the phone from the car, a few seconds later it finds the right position. This happens both over cabled or WiFi car play connection. Does anyone know how to prevent the phone from getting position information from the car’s gps unit while still transmitting Waze or apple map location information to the car’s car play system so that I can navigate using the car’s large and safe display rather than my phone tiny screen?

I have been facing with this issue for a year with my 2023 Ford focus, i have forward it to Ford and Apple but there is no any solution . But!!! When i realized that issue become in specific locations i thougt that it could be about roaming and i just wanted to turn off our newest technology, 5G. Yes i use just LTE and it seems problem has gone, yes it is not a final solution but a workaround, if 5G is not a must for you you can try

I found a fix for this, for my Audi Q5. Basically long story short Apple considers the google maps background activity depending on your settings. Follow this instruction. https://geekschalk.com/how-to-fix-apple-carplay-gps-not-working-showing-wrong-location/

Basically you change location settings to “always” for google maps instead of “while using”. This makes sure the map does not switch back to the in-car unit and only uses google maps.

The article indicated app be on or on when using which mine were. And it still didn’t work. I finally disconnected CarPlay and car navigation was more accurate.

And my new Tundra is a different radio and now works.

I'm having the same issues with my Apple CarPlay on the RAV4 2023 while using Google Maps and Apple Maps.

2023 RAV4 CarPlay Navigation Issues while connect your phone to use the Apple Map or Google Map.  The issues with their navigation over Apple CarPlay randomly putting them off-road, on parallel roads, or even off the route completely, like taking an exit ramp you're not on.

I went to a Toyota dealer.

Toyota knows about them, but right now they cannot fix them yet. They will do the recall in the future, but they don't know when. 

Then they gave me the invoice with the notes, "Toyota is working on repairs; there are no repairs at this time. Customer to monitor and return when repair remedy is available."

I opened case with Toyota Brand Engagement Center. The Toyota dealer and Toyota both are talking.

Now they told me to contact Apple support to let them know too.

How do I contact Apple for Apple CarPlay with Toyota?

As I said, connecting the cable to the phone after the WiFi connection was established works for me, as a workaround.

on the other hands, Toyota will change the head unit in the next period. They tested another head unit with my car and it was fine.

Unacceptable solution

You have to turn off WiFi on your phone but then it keeps interrupting you to insist on turning it back on.

Distractions like this one are one of the top causes of crashes.

You are in control here.

Toyota Corolla Cross 2024, wireless CarPlay, iPhone 13 iOS 17.1.1. Same issue.

dangermen: Looks like the car's location info is being fed back to the phone and overriding the phone's own location info while connected via CarPlay. ?

Did you try turn WiFi off on your iPhone ?

Will the problem still exists if you remove the phone and reconnect it *without* enabling wireless CarPlay?

I haven’t heard anything. I am going to hit them up tomorrow. I didn’t really give them wiggle room so I am curious to see what I get back.
