Carplay with ios18.3 connects to car intermittently

After upgrading to iOS 18.2, I encountered wireless CarPlay issues. Yesterday, I upgraded to iOS 18.3, but the problem persists. The connection always drops. I have already reset both my iPhone's network and the car's infotainment system, but the issue remains unresolved. Any idea how to fix it? or Is it a known bug?

After trying all the other recommendations (reset network settings, restart phone, forget phone in car, forget car in phone, etc, this worked: https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/carplay-not-working-ios-18/


Basically just go into setting/screen play/applications and turn Carplay back on. So annoying that the update turned it off and this was a completely unintuitive fix. Thank you macobserver for your help - I never would have figured this one out.
