Like many others, I've been having extremely unreliable connectivity lately with CarPlay and my iOS devies (1 out of 3 times the car would not recognize my phone on startup). Over the last few weeks it completely stopped recognizing one of my devices (running iOS 16.1.1). I tried troubleshooting the problem in every possible way and I think today I (accidentally) found a fix.
I plugged my phone with a lightning cable to the USB-C port and CarPlay started working again, but my phone prompted me with a message asking if I wanted to enable wireless CarPlay. This was surprising since I don't remember ever revoking permissions, but after re-enabling it I now have a working wireless CarPlay experience.
My theory: I recently installed a number of Ford Power-Up updates. I suspect permissions for wireless CarPlay silently got lost with the these updates but I never received a prompt to re-enable them. Sharing this in case it helps others troubleshoot their CarPlay connectivity issues.
