CarPlay frequent connection loss after iOS 18.2
My iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.2 has connection drops to CarPlay on my VW Multivan T7 Plug-In Hybrid every 45-60 seconds. Siri is activated, VPN is deactivated, Screen time restrictions are turned off, WiFi & Bluetooth are activated, CarPlay is activated on settings.
Connection via USB-C wire works totally fine.
I tried every step to fix this.
- Restarting iPhone & Media system, soft and hard restart
- Reconnecting both devices with following restart
- Reset network settings on iPhone and reconnecting to Media system
I connected my old iPhone 13 with iOS 18.1.1 and everything worked fine. I then updated this iPhone to iOS18.2 to test the behavior, it has now the same issue with the connection loss to the car.
Anyone with a similar issue or any ideas what could help here?
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
