apple iOS 15.5 CarPlay issues
Discussion
What car and wired or wireless?
I drive a BMW G20 and have had issues with CarPlay since iOS15.0. Each release has got incrementally better but still have problems connecting or (less often) crashing out.
I noticed the car was corrupting the bluetooth name - instead of correctly calling it, for instance, "Robsasiphone" it would call it something like "RobsRobsasipho" instead.
Sometimes if I just waited it would fix itself, but I deleted the profile, soft reset the phone, did a new connection and it started working again. It is annoying though.

That’s weird, I’ve also not been able to connect wirelessly to Car Play today. No problems in months until today.
I can connect by USB OK, but nothing at all wirelessly. Bluetooth is OK. Tried deleting the car from the app and reconnecting but no joy.
Just checked and I’m still on iOS 15.4.1.
Coincidence?

Quick update. Got it working again.
Updated iOS to 15.5
Deleted car from the app, deleted phone from the car MMI.
Allowed Siri access when iphone locked.
Reconnected and paired phone to car / carplay.
Worked first time.
No idea why it stopped working or why I couldn’t get if connected earlier. Only thing I did this time was update to iOS 15.5, and toggle Siri access on when locked (I’m sure this was like that previously but somehow had changed).
