18.4.1 dropping carplay over wireless

Ever since I installed 18.4.1 on my 16pro, carplay has started dropping over wireless. Is anyone else having this problem. I know this update was supposed to fix this “rare” problem but the problem didn’t start until I upgraded.

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Troubleshooting CarPlay After iOS18.4.1 Update:

There is no mention of CarPlay being a issue that was fixed with this update. See here: About the Security Content of iOS 18.4.1 and iPadOS 18.4.1 - Apple


A. Add the iPhone Back:

Forget this Device (your iPhone) from your car stereo, and then add it back.


B. Driver's Manual:

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


C. Try being in Park:

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