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

Same for me. I 25 between Ridge Gate and Lincoln car play skips, cuts out and usually locks up then re-boots. This happens 100% of the time. Very frustrating! It doesn’t matter if I am wireless or connected to the car via usb.

I have the same issue at the same location on SR-92 with my 2021 Audi RS6. My wife’s phone also does the same when connected. I have a 14 pro, she has a standard 14. It does it more when going West that when going East.

My car does this at the same spot too. It also occurs around Centennial Airport. Ive always thought maybe there is some interference with the signal due to ATC radio traffic but I would know nothing about that. Good to know its not just my car.

Hahahaha does no one here realize it's the massive powerlines running underground at these locations causing massive interference. Go walk past these locations with airpods, same thing will happen.

tl;dr wires underground.

I have the exact same problem also at that same spot on Timpanogos highway. Wireless Apple Car Play cuts out by Texas Instruments. Just moved here from Florida. I never had it happen there. If I switch to wired, it’s fine.

Yes, same! Since i got my new car with carplay in Feb 2023, it has cut out at this spot (Denver area near i-25 and Lincoln by Skyridge Hospital). This summer, it also started cutting out on I-25 through downtown after i took a weird frontage road route to avoid traffic. So basically i can’t drive north or south on I-25 and still be able to follow what a podcast is talking about.

Idk if people are still looking for a solution but I found one(for me at least. Kia K5 2022) the solution I found was my software needed to be updated in my car and it wasn’t automatically updating. My iPhone was always update but once I got my car to do the software update(which was a hassle) I noticed that the issue of it going in and out and disconnecting had stopped. So check your software updates in your cars if not already done. This drove me nuts

I purchased wireless car play to my kia niro 2023 from Amazon for $60 same thing .It works for 2-6 min and it starting to restart and turn on again and this is annoying especially when you are on phone call than suddenly the phone call is disturbing I returned and get replacement same thing happened I have iPhone 16 pro In my option I will have to get usb and approved c cable and just connect by wire to car play

Yup, same spot for me too. Happens like clockwork. Interestingly enough, if it’s a wired connection, I have no problems. I wonder if Centennial Airport or Sky Ridge has anything to do with it? Just a wild guess…

Like most on this topic, I've had a repeating disconnection every time I drove past a particular location. I tried various settings (ask to join wireless networks, location services, etc.) one at a time to see what would work. Finally, I turned off data roaming and it no longer disconnects at this location. I lose cellular data, though, since I'm no longer roaming, but CarPlay hasn't disconnected since I changed this setting.

I hope this helps others. I suspect that roaming is one of the factors involved, and the reason not everyone is affected at the same location could be due to having different carriers (hence different roaming locations).

If you are disconnected at a specific location that always means that there is S band radar operating nearby, which shares the spectrum with Bluetooth. This will happen near airports, military installations, and anywhere else that ground-scanning radar is used.

Were you able to find the answer to the problem? I have the same problem in two different locations, every time I am there it disconnects or skips heavily.

2022 Audi. Audio starts skipping while the screen lags and eventually goes black and the audio stops. Takes about 45 seconds to get back to normal. Can reproduce at will.

So I’m going to try something, I made a Siri Shortcut personal automation, so that when I’m connected to CarPlay, it’s going to limit me to LTE, and go back to 5G when I disconnect from CarPlay.
