Rebooting CarPlay

[James in Västerbotten]

Hello.

I have had a 2019MY Levorg with the CarPlay enabled head-unit since January.

All fine until this week, when the system stopped loading CarPlay on my iPhone XR. I've swapped cables, updated the iPhone software (13.5) and tried both plugs beneath the head-unit. No luck. The cable and plug is working sufficiently to take a charge, as the phone 'boops' and the charging symbol appears.

Any tips or suggestions as to what might be preventing CarPlay from functioning?

Thanks!

 

[What!?!]

Did you end up figuring this one out?

Did you end up figuring this one out?

Yes, eventually. Sorry for not updating.

The problem was with Siri. Siri must be enabled for CarPlay to function. I’d disabled it because I was a) fed up & b) creeped out by Siri constantly listening to me and people around for the cue words. If, like me, you’re not into a phone that’s listening and analysing your every word, you can keep Siri active but turn off the voice activation. Problem solved, many thousands of kilometres with CarPlay have now been enjoyed.

Ah great to know, thanks.
