Wired Apple CarPlay disconnecting on 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Wired CarPlay disconnects on my 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid when using my iPhone 13 Pro while I am talking on the phone, listening to Podcasts, etc.

i tried to narrow down the issue by trying a new Apple cable, duplicated the issue with an iPhone 12, used an air compressor to blow out the lightning port on both the iPhone & the USB port on the car, but the issue remains.

When will this issue be fixed??? It’s obviously a problem with many users with different phones and cars models.

If it's happening with multiple iPhones and multiple known good cables, the issue is probably the head unit in the car or the USB port.

Toyota is notorious for taking shortcuts in their head units that don't abide by the APIs for both CarPlay and Android Auto, causing them to misbehave or flat out not function when the devices are updated.

Hello All: the same issue is happening on our new 2023 Rav4. We are using Bluetooth technology to link the car radio with the iPhone. We have iPhone 8 & 13. We have taken it to the dealer multiple times but they can't replicate the problem. We have also called Toyota Corporate offices but no resolution. This beyond frustrating and as another post said dangerous when using the GPS and it drops. Calls drop as well.

Has anyone found a resolution????

It has disconnected once, but that’s a big improvement!

Still a repeatable issue on 17+ versions - currently running 17.1.2 and having the same issue.
