after upgrading my iPhone Pro Max from 16.4.1 to 16.5 my Carplay does not work. I cannot download back to 16.4.1, will 16.6.1 restore carplay?

Hi lobster, No way! The phone does an update , not the car! Apple should apply not mercedes!!
The problem here can be in the infotainment system, or in the iPhone, or in iOS, or in the connection, among other possibilities.
If you have used a cable to connect to the infotainment system here and not Bluetooth, you will have already replaced that and ruled it out as an issue.
If not the cable, the next step is to check for infotainment system firmware updates, and for iOS updates. This usually resolves the known issues that can arise with the two immensely complicated computers operating on each end of the connection—the infotainment system, and your iPhone.
If the problems persist, contact the car manufacturer, as they are best positioned to troubleshoot this. If the problem is with iOS, the car manufacturer is best positioned to work directly with Apple to resolve this, or (potentially) to make changes to the infotainment system to work around the issues.
Even if this is an issue with the iPhone and iOS, it’s not an endemic issue with CarPlay. And if this is iOS at fault and not some oddity specific to the manufacturer’s infotainment system, it’s something that will necessarily involve both the infotainment system maintainers and Apple CarPlay maintainers to resolve, and possibly other parts of both organizations.
Could this issue be caused by the iOS update? Sure. But is the flaw in the Apple code, or in the infotainment firmware, or has (for instance) some Bluetooth giblet on either end of the connection that picked this moment to fail?
In short… Contact the infotainment system vendor. That’s usually here vehicle manufacturer. They’re best positioned to resolve this directly m or to work with Apple to resolve this. They’re also best positioned to know if and where there are issues with CarPlay; whether those are nascent, already acknowledged via TSB, or otherwise.
My issues did not start until AFTER the 16.5.1 update in my 2023 Volvo XC60
Same with me. Stopped working yesterday but worked this morning and now stopped working again in the afternoon. Drive Hyundai with wired CarPlay. This update is def the issue for it.
Ik have this problem too! Iphone 8 in a Mercedes A160. carplay first worked after the update to 16.5.1 but suddenly asked for acceptance. This happenend 4 days or so and after that carplay won't start in the car. I did all that is said on the different fora but nothing works. I did "forget this car" and now it will not pair again. I also activated siri which i hate but hey, I need carplay. That also made no difference... Does apple know about this issue? How can we file a complaint?

My car does not do updates. It isnt a tesla you know
Most modern cars, even cars dating back a few years, have the ability to take software updates. CarPlay didn't become ubiquitous until around 2018 or so. By then, infotainment systems were designed with updatability built in. You may not be able to do the update yourself, but usually, the car dealership has the ability to update an infotainment system. Newer cars now have Over the Air update options. And this doesn't just apply to Tesla.
2021 rav4… same issue..I have always use apple cords. I have taken it back to the dealer for a hard reset and even had the usb port replaced. I agree that the 16.5 IOS is the culprit and hope to have our issues resolved soon.

After the update, my vehicle showed no phone connected and the phone will not connect via Bluetooth or CarPlay.
So, there was nothing to disconnect and reconnect.
Is the iPhone also showing as un-paired?
Settings > General > CarPlay
As long as I've used CarPlay, Siri has been required. CarPlay is a voice based interface to car infotainment systems and thus requires Siri as that is iPhone's link to voice activation. I think you are remembering something which isn't how it ever it worked.
If you are running iOS 14 on your iPhone, this means you haven't updated iOS in at least a couple years. The first thing you need to do is update your iPhone to the most current iOS version. Tell us what model iPhone you own and we'll tell you what the most current iOS version is for your phone.

Then your iPhone should be updated to iOS 15.7.8, which is the highest iOS your iPhone can support. Since you've skipped a couple years worth of updates, you will likely need to update your iPhone using your computer and iTunes.

Hi there , updated to 16.6.1 on my iPhone 14 pro max and now the car play is disconnecting every minute when playing music , maps etc , everything has been re set on stereo and phone and VW/MAN commercial vehicles dealer not aware of any problems , any news of a fix available, Pleaseeee , many thanks Darren
2022 Ram TRX. CarPlay will no longer work also. Have been driving my vette until now so I suspect CarPlay broke with a previous IOS update. Tried everything from resetting all to USB to wireless CarPlay. Nothing works.

My CarPlay ( on CRV 2019) suddenly stop working after IOS 16.7.2 updated. Bluetooth is still working, battery is still charging, but can't connect to CarPlay. I tried all posted recommendations, but still doesn't work. So frustrated!
Same here with 2023 Volvo XC60

Great to hear this has fixed things for you but the 16.5.1 upgrade had no effect / improvement for me.
CarPlay not working after iOS 16.5 Update
