Wireless Carplay issues 2022 GMC Sierra

I have used wireless carplay in this vehicle successfully since Jan 2023. In the last 3 weeks I have had intermittent issue connecting to wireless carplay when starting the vehicle. I am not sure if this began before the iOS 17 release or not, but i did notice it started once my vehicle had an electronic update. If I stop the vehicle and turn the engine off and restart it connect almost every time. I have tried to document the current state of vehicle and phone when it does not connect and I cannot find any pattern that can be replicated.

Please don't state the obvious, "are you connected, is siri on, etc". I have read through multiple forums and standard apple support. I am looking for ways to diagnose and isolate the issue and was hoping someone on this forum may have similar issues or has found a fix.

My work around was similar, I would go to carplay and the phone doesn't show up, so I hit connect and it asks if I want to switch phone (eventhough my phone doesn't show up) I hit yes, then it tell me to connect to bluetooth, I hit cancel and now my phone shows up in carplay and connects.

This last week I noticed that my sons phone showed up in carplay and seemed to connect each time while my phone still did the thing. The one thing I noticed is he started the whole process with a cable. So I deleted all connections and started a new connection via the cable (it will ask about wireless as well) and once I connected that way, I have not had an issue connecting wirelessly (fingers crossed). Hoping this lasts.

That workaround doesn’t work for me. CarPlay usually connects the first time after the vehicle is left parked for several hours. Subsequent connection tries don’t work. I’m running out of ideas here… anyone tried anything else to get it fixed?

I was referring to 2022 refresh and newer models with the 13” screen. That might be the reason for the different answers in this thread. Some are pre-2022 refresh and some are for the new Infotainment system.

Same here on a 2023 Sierra 1500 and 2019 GMC Yukon. My wife and I had no issue with our IPhone 12 Pro. Just upgraded to IPhone 15 Pro and it will only connect with a USB cable and no wireless connectivity.

I don’t see the trusted device option. Are you sure it exists on a 2021?

You do still have to connect your phone via Bluetooth to the vehicle before you can set up CarPlay. I am also referring to the new Infotainment system on the 2022 refresh models and newer (The 13” screen models).
