How do I fix Apple CarPlay not showing on BMW 330e with iPhone 16 Pro (iOS 18.4.1)?

Hello


it's 2 days, suddenly, the following issue appeared on my BMW 330e.


My iphone 16 pro (18.4.1.) is connected and CarPlay is on (visible on the central monitor of my bmw as a option ready to click). I click on "apple carplay button" on the screen - usually the system switch on apple carplay dashboard - but nothing happens.


In truth BMW recognizes that Apple CarPlay is active, i can use google / apple maps, the system seems to load the app "behind the scenes", i can use Siri too, but Apple CarPlay doesn't show up. The system stays "stuck" on the bmw dashboard and application.


All the functions of BMW panel works well. Only the Carplay section not shows up.


I tried to reset the bmw panel keeping the volume button.

I tried to remove my phone and resetting it.


Any hints?


thanks in advanced
