16.6.1 update Car Play issues

Since upgrading to 16.6.1 on my IPhone 13 Pro, I have found that the Apple Car Play interface to my Audi MMI no longer supports the touchpad or selector button. The vehicle recognizes the Car Play interface but any selections can only be achieved through the phone. When disconnected the touchpad and selector button work normally on the vehicle.

I have removed and relearned the connection, disabled the VPN and nothing helps. Tje problem started after the IOS upgrade.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Updating iOS on your iPhone should typically not alter the fundamental functionality of the device. It's possible that there were underlying issues before this update, which you might not have been aware of previously or might not have noticed.


In general, iOS updates are designed to enhance the user experience, improve security, and fix bugs, rather than introducing major disruptions to core features. The reported issue of the screen flickering and displaying a white screen after an update is likely caused by factors that are not explicitly mentioned in your post.


iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.


During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.


It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.


Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.



If the issues you mentioned are indeed caused by iOS, it's likely that numerous users who have upgraded to iOS 16.6.1 are experiencing similar problems. However, in order for the community on this forum to provide helpful responses, it would be beneficial for you to specify the nature of the issue you are encountering. Without this information, it may be difficult for others to address your concern effectively.

I've got an iPhone 12 with a Mercedes. As soon as I installed the 16.6.1 update I started having Carplay issues as well. Typically I see the starting Carplay on the car's screen, but it disappears shortly before or after the Carplay view is visible. It usually takes multiple attempts before it is finally visible and even then it may suddenly disappear after minutes.

I am able to connect and see the Carplay screen. I am unable to move around the screen using the vehicle controls. Any manipulation has to happen using my IPhone. These issues started after installing the update.

I have seen similar comments about this type of problem searching on Google.


I hoped by bringing this problem to this forum a fix could be found. I understand the complexities of writing updates for systems.
