After update IOS27 I have a problem with CarPlay. Several times the connection will be broken. I use an iPhone 14 Pro and use CarPlay wireless. Please help with suggestions. I already try the general suggestions. More users with this problem?

First step:

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. Updates sometimes "break" VPN, and it needs to be removed. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.


After that, try “forgetting” the car in Settings/Bluetooth, and deleting the phone in the vehicle’s Bluetooth settings. Then re-pair them.

Hi, I'm also having this problem. I am running 27.0.1. My iphone connects to the car on bluetooth but can't then switch from that to CarPlay - wireless connection. It asks me if if i want to enable ask siri and then crashes - i have deleted the phone from the car, and the car from the phone but always the same result. I am not running any VPNs.
