iPhone 15 Pro Max Carplay Issues

I have a 2022 Wrangler with the 8.4" UConnect and I have issues with Carplay and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I did not have the issue with the 13 Pro Max I traded in. But Carplay only seems to connect intermittently. About every other time I get in I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get to connect. Id assume that this is an iPhone issue since the 13 was fine. The 13 also had iOS 17 installed so wouldnt think it is a software issue either. Please advise. Thank you.

I am up to around $100 in trying cables and right now, it looks like I have 2 that work!

I have plugged in and unplugged and turned the engine off and restarted multiple times with each, and each time iPhone 15 Pro quickly launches Apple CarPlay in my 2022 Wrangler Rubicon (8.4” UConnect). This evening I have to drive a 40 mile round trip, so will put each to a longer test.

Both were purchased on Amazon.

Escalated with apple and have some high level expert who we tried everything. No go. My phone works with my wife’s Audi so it’s not hardware on the iPhone side. Guess I’m going to take it to the jeep dealer and let them update software but not very hopeful. She said this is known and they have engineers working on it for an update. Not holding my breath

Update on issue, went to dealer for jeep rubicon gladiator . No issues on dealers test iPhone 13. Both my gfs 14 pro and my new 15 pro have constant disconnect issues. I have tried short fast charging usb a to c. Multiple different cables and slots and still same issue. Apple please fix. I’ve also tested my pro on my other vehicle no issues only on my jeep. Benz CarPlay works fine but super garbage on jeep

I have a 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. The phone will connect Bluetooth just not usb. I have rebooted the phone, reset my card system software, deleted handsfree link on the phone and remove and readded the phone on my car. USB still goes to charging only. It will try to connect then for to charging and keeps doing this until I just disconnect the phone. I have a dash cam and have to use usb with allle CarPlay as I need Bluetooth for the cam. Didn’t have this problem before iPhone 15 pro max.

Updating previous posts.

CarPlay remains intermittent with the Anker USB A to USB C woven cable ('22 Rubicon 8.4" UConnect). When CarPlay connection is established, some features fail to perform as they should (Messages). Now, since iOS17.1 update, my iPhone 15Pro gets hot! When tethered for CarPay and sitting out of the sun, it gets quite warm to the touch. Yesterday, I used the 15Pro to shoot a few minutes of video, not connected via a cable and being held handsfree in a DJI-Osmo mount. The iPhone got HOT.

My tech support guy, whose direct contact info I have as a result of uploading numerous logs & over 7 hours of calls with over a month, has stopped responding.

I am not sure what to do at this point.
