Connectivity Issue with Apple CarPlay on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I am reaching out to report a recurring issue I’ve been experiencing with Apple CarPlay on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Despite several troubleshooting attempts, the issue remains unresolved.

Issue Description:

• My iPhone consistently disconnects from Apple CarPlay when connected to my 2019 Ford Focus, using a USB cable.

• The CarPlay interface frequently freezes and becomes unresponsive.

• This issue does not occur with an Android device, suggesting it’s specific to the iPhone or its interaction with the car system.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

1. Both the iPhone and Ford SYNC system are updated to the latest software versions.

2. I have reset the network settings on the iPhone.

3. CarPlay profile has been reinstalled.

4. I’ve tried multiple high-quality, MFi-certified cables.

5. Other iOS devices exhibit the same issue when connected to the car.

I would appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide to resolve this issue. It seems to be a specific compatibility problem between my iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Ford SYNC system in CarPlay mode.
