iPhone 15 Pro Max disconnecting from CarPlay and Bluetooth

"CarPlay & Bluetooth issues: I purchased a 15 Pro max directly from apple in October. From day one it will disconnect from CarPlay and or Bluetooth in any vehicle. [...]So if my phone gets lost in transit I’m stuck paying for a 2nd phone. Has anyone had this problem with their phones disconnecting like this? If so did you have it fixed or still dealing with it?"

CarPlay not Working with Bluetooth:

My iPhone always has an issues with one vehicle. But, I have no issues on no others. Just how old is your vehicle? See if you can update the audio system. I have to do so through WiFi using my iPhone.

I. Troubleshooting CarPlay:

A. Driver's Manual:

Read your driver's manual to find out more about syncing this.

B. Try being in Park:

For many, they must have their automobile in park to get this to all pair.

C. Visit this Link:

If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support

II. Troubleshooting iPhone Bluetooth:

A. Visit these Links:

• Set Up and Use Bluetooth Accessories on iPhone - Apple Support

B. Reset All Network Settings to Default:

Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc). IMPORTANT: Be certain you take a screenshot of your network credentials, so that you can add them back.

Thank you for the followup reply.

Clear the Caches:

Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use. It is essentially the same for an iPhone. You'd backup your iPhone, and then restore your iPhone from the backup you've just created. All System Data will delete. Read my User Tip for More: How to Clear "System Data" in your iPhone's Storage: - User Tip

I removed the VPN after it started originally.

I’ve been to the Apple Store and according to the employees and the lady I talked to at apple. They no longer do the replacements in store

Call Apple and elevate this. I haven't heard you can't exchange an iPhone in-store. You can call them at: 800-MY-APPLE

You can try what is posted above, but to be honest, I've never heard of having to clear the cache to get CarPlay to work.

Deleting System Data:

"System Data" is on your iPhone; not your car's stereo. Older iOS versions, BTW, referred to System Data as "Other".

Do you not have an Apple Store anywhere near enough for you to do this in-store?

Another question. Do you by chance use a VPN on your iPhone?
