It's always been buggy, but I'm on week three of not connecting music streaming or podcasts. Everything else works fine. I've tried cycling the phone on/off, disconnecting and reconnecting, and plugging in directly with a USB cable. Both car and phone have the latest updates. When this has happened in the past, the issue magically resolved after a day or two. Is this just a "me" issue?

Spotify is having “issues” since their last app update. Otherwise, reboot sync and hard reboot your iphone.

Have also had Spotify issues in Car play. The songs advance but the display shows the last one played. Came at same time as Spotify was making their changes to the logo and I'm guessing some software changes.

This happens to me too!

I Tried rebooting the phone. Tried rebooting Sync. Tried unpairing/repairing the phone. Still happens. I’m hoping it’s just an Apple issue

My wife started having connection issues yesterday, but with Android Auto. According to her, wireless and USB AA stopped connecting. I haven't looked into it at all and she had to take the car today, so no info other than her Pixel 10 "Wouldn't connect or charge". 🤷‍♂️

Spotify has also been flaky for me. In addition I've had a problem with Google maps. If I'm using it to navigate somewhere and I make a stop on the way and turn the car off, when I come back to the car the route is no longer there and I have to re-add it. (This is android auto)

Same. Android Auto no longer works. Bluetooth and USB both fail.

Every iOS update gives me a return of CarPlay issues.

The day that I wrote my post, Saturday, wife had to take our kid to soccer and said that everything worked again. A 24hr long glitch in the matrix apparently... AA has been working fine for her ever since. Curious if your AA issue lasts for 24 hrs.
