My GM-made car does indeed have connectivity issues with CarPlay at least a few times a month. Turning my phone's Bluetooth off and on again fixes it, which makes me wonder if the problem really is on the phone side.
On the other hand, it happens more often when switching between a built-in car app (like the 360 cameras app) and the Carplay app, which probably implicates the car's software more?
In any case, it is pretty annoying. It sometimes happens at really inopportune times, which can be a distracting safety hazard just from the loss of connectivity/functionality alone (i.e. not even considering needing to touch the phone, which is illegal while driving in many US states.)
- AmVess 3y agoThat is a GM problem. I've never had Carplay connectivity issues across 4 different brands.
- piperswe 3y agoI've had connectivity issues with wireless CarPlay in my BMW, though admittedly they've been very rare recently.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI don’t have connectivity problems in my BMW, but sometimes have my GPS location 100 meters off, and will try to turn on and off Bluetooth to fix that. It sometimes works.
- evanelias 3y agoI probably should have mentioned that my phone is over 6 years old, which may or may not be a factor. Absolutely could be entirely a GM problem though. I haven't been too happy with the car lately, and don't think I would buy a GM vehicle again.
- plasticchris 3y agoI’ve seen wireless CarPlay connectivity problems in certain locations which makes me think there’s interference there and I’m driving through it.
