I have already tried all the steps listed above in the article. I do have a service request placed with Apple support and Alpine support on this issue as well. Just hoping maybe someone here has encountered this issue and might have a solution I have not tried yet.

I did not install the Alpine, but I think there are 2 USB ports on the back, but only one works for CarPlay. The Best Buy installer had to move the cable from one port to the other to get it to work the first time.

If that does not spawn a solution, then I will go back to my installer and see about swapping the cable input location to fix the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I use Verizon as my service provider, not sure if that plays a role in this issue at all. Curious what provider you are using ? Just trying to take out any variables in the trouble shooting.
