Apple CarPlay no longer works with My BMW X7 (2021) using iOS 17.3.1

My phone is an iPhone 13 Pro. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried removing the BMW from Bluetooth and re-adding. I’ve tried removing the car from CarPlay and re-adding. I’ve tried plugging the phone directly into USB device versus using Bluetooth (when it’s plugged in, Spotify will play but communications/phone/Bluetooth still doesn’t work over CarPlay). My son has the same iOS 17.3.1 on his phone and his phone connects to Carplay but he has an iPhone X. I’ve deleted and reinstalled and reset everything. Now I’m just waiting to get pulled over because I’m not using Bluetooth. 😂

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17
