Wireless Carplay disconnects at the same place on my commute with new iPhone 13

Same issue with disconnection, same location every day. Someone else mentioned Denver Colorado between Lone Tree 192 and Ridgegate 193 exits. Same spot for me every time I drive it regardless of time. F150 2021, iPhone 13 Pro

it absolutely will not disconnect if you are wired. The problem is you are "plugged" in but still using wireless. Disable wireless projection in your car then plug in and it won't happen. Its something in your city in that area causing interference

I’ve got a 2023 GLC & notice that the problem occurs when I pass an electric road toll ( Australia ). It seems that the car play auto mutes, but then it goes into a disconnect mode.

I’ve also had the same problem where CarPlay disconnects when I enter my car park.

This also happens to me on I25 and Lincoln (between Cabelas and the Schwab campus). It happens on both of my cars, one is a Toyota and the other is an aftermarket Alpine ilx-507. I am convinced it is RF related. It is most likely interfering with the Wifi signal that carries Carplay. Fun fact: Bluetooth is only used for the initial handshake then you can actually turn it off and Carplay will still work.

I don’t know that there’s a fix for this CarPlay disconnect thing, especially at the I25 Lincoln exit. I agree it’s some kind of RF either from the light rail or hospital or something in that specific area. Happens still with 15 pro and 2021 F150. One plus is it does seem to reconnect better now; not sure if that’s the new phone or new iOS

I have the same problem! I live in Highland and it 100% of the time drops out (on two of our cars with wireless CarPlay) on that stretch of SR-92! Apple needs to make their wireless stack more resilient *and* we need to ask Lehi why there’s such interference in that area!

Same issue happens to me in Portland, OR on North Interstate Ave and North Tillamook St. There’s a cell tower near the intersection that I’ve always thought could be a factor. It happens in my 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe, and also happens when my wife uses her iPhone. Mode are Pro models but one an 11 and one a 14. The apple car play disconnects, the screen goes black and phone projection / apple car play cannot reconnect.

I have been assuming it's something the hospital is doing, but yeah, same place each time I drive by it disconnects. I might put in a request with that CH 7 traffic guy that does that segment on what's frustrating drivers.

Still happening with my iPhone 15 Pro. Must be some sort of strong wireless interfernce. There is a large Walmart in the exact radius of the interference.....and they use a lot of very powerful wireless systems.

My exact experience as well. Did apple ever get a fix? It's dangerous while driving trying to figure out what's going on in the middle of a hands free phone conversation. Apple needs to fix this asap!

I know this is an apple community support however I thought everyone should know that I am having the same problem with Android Auto. There is a certain spot on a highway near the city I live that effects both Carplay and AA. I know this because my coworker use Apple and has complained about the same location and problem. The system cuts out and resets.

Every day, same thing for me as well. Wireless CarPlay and iPhone freak out at I25 and Lincoln. I just got a 2023 F150 with wireless CarPlay, connected and an old iPhone 11. Never had this problem with my old wired uconnect system in a Dodge with the same phone. Definitely a CarPlay issue or wireless interference issue with apple CarPlay.

I think this is a microwave issue. A lot of cities are installing microwave in new buildings to reduce or eliminate infrastructure costs for internet. If you’ve ever been on a Bluetooth headset and started your home microwave, you may have lost signal. I don’t know the exact radio physics, but it’s a correlation I think should be investigated.

Happens to me as well. Bmw 2022. iPhone13 pro. So I bought the car nine months ago, everything was working perfectly but around two months ago apple carplay started to drop in certain spots. If it was connected back itself in a seconds or minutes I would not say a word! But to connect it back I have to perform weird procedure. I have to stop, turn off engine, leave the car, lock it, wait for a minute or two, and then when I get back into the car it connected back itself like nothing happened! Without this you can sit in the car for hours and do everything possible and impossible but it will not be connected back. First I thought it’s my phone issue. But with my son’s phone (also 13 pro) was exactly the same. I went to BMW. They gave me the loan car (2023 bmw) and no problem at all! I was driving it for two days same route. When I picked up my car from service it happened again on my way back home. I called BMW. They said to come back. I came, left my car again, new loan car didn’t have issues again. Yesterday they told me to pick up my car and said there’s nothing they can do!! Because it’s not a car, it’s applecarplay. My brain will explode. It’s really frustrating because nobody takes responsibility. And I can’t drive like this. I live in New York. So when it happens in the city - ok, I will park, leave the car and I have connection back loosing only 10 minutes of my day. But two weeks ago I was in trip to Baltimore. And it happened on that crazy multi level road so I didn’t know where to go. And I was in the car alone so I had to open my phone and look at it while driving. But it’s dangerous. The most idiotic thing that first complaints on this issue I saw in Internet were from 2021!! So it’s been almost four years and still no solution, just pointing on each other.

Also happens to me on both of my cars on I-25 and Lincoln (between Cabelas and the Schwab campus). At the exact same issue at the exact sane place. iPhone 15 Pro Max, 2-23 Ford F-159 Lightning Platinum ER
