got the same problem after installing 18.2. after trying everything possible with phone settings, found an unreleased thread with some suggestions and turning off VPN among them.. i use ProtonVPN which stays on all the time, and as soon as i turned it off CarPlay connected just fine!

i turned VPN back on and CarPlay stayed connected, HOWEVER.. Siri stopped responding to any requests, whether it's music, directions or anything for that matter..

which raises interesting Privacy Question: what is it that CarPlay is now trying to ping in 18.2 upgrade that Proton VPN blocks (mine blocks all trackers and ads)... 🤔🤔🤔

let me know if you find it helpful!

Cheers and happy holidays!

Having a random interference problem with CarPlay on 18.3.1 and my 2021 Silverado. Doesn’t matter if it’s wired or wireless. Wireless is worse and will give me a WiFi interference error. On wired it will have interference like a scratched CD used to do. I use a VPN but it’s not on when this occurs. My wireless CarPlay worked fine without problem until a few weeks ago. So it’s probably something to do with the 18 iOS.
