Apple CarPlay intermittent

LammersTim | 2025-10-12 09:44 | 3 views

Hey All, has anyone else got issues with their Apple car play not automatically connecting? It’s intermittent, sometimes it works without intervention. If it doesn’t connect, I press the CarPlay button and then it connects. It seems to load slowly when I do it manually. Then it functions normal after. Bluetooth is connected. 2025 BYD Seal. I haven’t contacted support yet. Edit: contacted support, suggested to do a media centre reboot (hold down the volume button for 10s). If that doesn’t work, go to a service centre. I guess I’ll be going to a Service Centre…

Had a few dropouts since ios26 came out, before that no problem would always connect right away. When it drops out during driving it seems to always connect back in.

Yeah interesting. I’ve not had dropouts, just initial connection issues. I’m on IOS26.0.1

This has been an ongoing issue for me since I got the car. I just figure it’s one of those intermittent connection issues

Yep, sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn’t (this is wireless CarPlay I should specify)

Yep me too. I have two CarPlay users paired to the car. I wonder if this is the issue?

Don’t believe so. I’ve only got one phone connected.

Yes, wireless. I’ll contact support, see what they say.

Yes, very hit and miss. I usually just assume I have to press the button to connect it.

Generally every time I have to press CarPlay button, I thought it was just because my phone is old.

mine stays connected when it is connected but often it won't connect at start up without me doing into the system menu and connecting it

This seems to be common across the board. I’ve had no issues with a Toyota. So I know it’s not my phone - fingers crossed 🤞 a fix will be supplied.

Mine gets connected very well. It’s the reading of messages and replying messages via Siri that gets cut off all the time.
