How to stop CarPlay from disconnecting calls after iOS update?

My phone will disconnect multiple times during a phone call while I'm connected to car play. It usually does reconnect after about 10 seconds, but it's annoying that I have to constantly ask people to repeat what they said during that 10 seconds. The frequency of occurrence varies. This happens when connected via wireless carplay in my 2023 silverado and via wired carplay in my 2020 escalade. My sister has the same problem with her 2024 XT5 (wireless carplay). It drives me nuts! When my phone isn't plugged in to the escalade and is only connected via bluetooth, I don't lose connection. I haven't tried connecting strictly via bluetooth in the silverado because carplay is wireless and it automatically defaults to that. I've tried deleting the devices from each other and repairing with no success. I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 18.3.2. My Silverado software is up to date. Escalade software is not currently up to date.

Everything you describe is happening to me. I can listen to podcasts for several hours without it disconnecting. Answer a phone call and it disconnects in about 5 minutes. My radio starts blaring, and I have to disconnect from the cable and reconnect. I have done all the normal troubleshooting steps.

I am having the same problem with my 15pm & 2024 Lexus UX 250h. Mine connects for about 10 seconds, disconnects, reconnects. It does this through the entire call. I stopped the car in case it was a moving issue. It continues when stopped also. Making & receiving calls in the car is useless. Unless I hear the problem is fixed, I’ll not use the phone while in the car.

Same thing happening to me the last three days.

Iphone 14 pro max connected wireless with Mini Countryman C 2024.

Music and google maps work great until someone calls me or I try to make a call.

Then disconnects. It tries to reconnect but only manages to reconnect when I end the call.

What is happening? Should i visit my car dealer(I have to take a day off my work to do so cause it's in another city)

ios version 18.4.1

Tried hard reset but the problem still exists. I really thought Apple was better than this. Looks like my next phone will not be an iPhone as I am getting tired of all the problems with Apple's supposed updates.

I am having the same issue in my 2023 ford bronco. I have updated everything and tried disconnecting resetting and everything in between. It disconnects on phone calls both wired and connected via usb-c. Then I get into my wife’s VW and the samething happens!! Please fix this for all of us.

I have the same issue. I have tried everything. This has to be a Sw issue.

version 18.4.1 -> didn't solve the problems, still the same issues.

Just reported it to Apple. Hopefully enough of us report it so they take notice.

I have a 15 Pro and am running IOS 18.5. I have reported the problem to Apple.

The software in our 2022 Ford Bronco Sport is up to date. The problem persists with my IPhone 16 Pro running the latest IOS.
