Buick avenir and CarPlay

My iPhone 15 will not connect wirelessly to Apple car play using my cellular data. I can connect using cars wifi and tethering with a cord but since two weeks ago it will not let me connect using my cellular data. Seems others are able to connect to my Apple car play except me.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

CarPlay wireless stopping the iPhone cellular data connection after a few minutes my CarPlay wireless worked fine for 2 years. Then about 2 months ago, after the bluetooth and wireless handshake with the CarPlay app, the apps in CarPlay work fine for about a minute and then the cellular data connection stops working. Any app on the CarPlay that uses a cellular connection (pretty much all of them) cannot function. You notice it on the Maps app as the street background disappears. If I pick up the iPhone and try to use an app on it, they do not work because the cellular connection has stopped working. If I go into the settings and turn off the wifi connection to the car, the cellar connection fires back up on the phone again and I can use the apps on the phone (like the Map app). If I start the wifi up and it connects to the car, CarPlay fires back up on the car head unit and it works for a min before the cellular connection stops again. The only way I can get CarPlay to work now is to turn off wifi and connect the iPhone with a USB cable as without the wifi connection to the car, the cellular data connection stays connected. Not sure what changed to start this happening. I have tried the option to delete the phone from the car entertainment system, "forget this network" from the iPhone settings for the Car Wifi network and then reconnected like it was a new device, and the problem is still there. I have seen this problem for other users over the years but no real solution to fix it. Looking for some ideas on how to fix this.

Cellular data while connected to CarPlay Wi-Fi I have an Audi SQ5 and an iPhone 15 pro max. When I connect to the car Wi-Fi to enable CarPlay I loose cellular data connection. How can I use cellular data while I’m connected to the car Wi-Fi?

Car Play not letting you use Data or internet once connected to WIFI for CarPlay. Advanced Fixes to Try THIS WORKED FOR ME I TRIED EVERYTHING 1. Force iPhone to Use Cellular Data for Internet Your iPhone is trying to use the car’s WiFi (which has no internet), blocking music streaming and searches. We’ll manually set the WiFi connection to have no internet access so your phone defaults to cellular. Steps: 1. Go to: Settings > Wi-Fi 2. Tap MBUX 22144 (USE YOURS) 3. Scroll to “Configure IP” > Tap Manual 4. Set the following values: • IP Address: 172.168.130.184 (Keep your existing one) USE YOURS NOT MINE. • Subnet Mask: 260.215.155.0 USE YOURS NOT MINE. • Router: Delete the router IP (151.168.240.1) and leave it blank 5. Tap Save and reconnect to CarPlay. THIS FINALLY WORKED FOR ME AFTER 2 years of trying EVERYTHING!! YAY!!! 💡 Why does this work? By removing the router IP, your iPhone will no longer try to access the internet through WiFi, but it will still stay connected to your car for CarPlay. YOU’RE WELCOME❤️
