Wireless CarPlay Disconnecting

[jkcerruti]

Is anyone else having issues with CarPlay connecting, then you drive 2-10 minutes, and it just disconnects... most of the time I can go to settings, bluetooth and devices, click the device, and click "use CarPlay", and it will reconnect, but it is really disruptive/distracting to do while driving. I haven't tried wired CarPlay.

Same for me, wired works perfect. I just updated the OS on my iPhone and maybe something to do with it? Didn't seem to have this issue when I first purchased the truck

I had it happen in the first week (January), but it has certainly gotten worse. I just bought my truck a month ago, so I didn't have too much time before the iOS update.

I've had my truck 6 months now and that happened to me on only one day when it disconnected over and over again. I have no idea why that happened and it has not done it since.

To make getting CarPlay back easier you can do it with a voice command, "hey Toyota launch Apple CarPlay". If the reply is that your phone is not connected "hey Toyota connect iPhone" fixes that too. I occasionally don't have CarPlay available when I start my truck but the voice command fixes that, and it seems to happen if I have driven my truck without having my phone.

Hopefully this kind of stuff will be fixed eventually in an update.
