Tiresome CarPlay bricking

[ManuelB]

So … coming back to the original Post CarPlay Wireless and French Toll Boothes

I’m currently on the eastern roadtrip in Normandy and yes it disconnects evrey single time at the toll booth also with the latest software updates from a week ago. But if you just go via the data cable (use usb in arm Rest) then there is no issue at all

We used an Italian Go by Telepass to drive quickly through the gates without stopping. Can highly recommend.

I am also facing the same problem with iPhone 15. Sometimes it’s really annoying because even with a phone restart it won’t come back.

Does anyone knows how to do an hard reset on the multimedia while driving? I’ve tried pushing the pause/volume knob for some seconds but didn’t solve..

May I ask why anyone having issues insists on trying wireless CarPlay? Using usb CarPlay (and never enabling wireless as an option) removes many variable, provides a more resilient and simple connection, better audio, and charges the phone. Why bother with all the downsides of wireless?

My entertainment Radio/USB/AppleCarplay totally bricks. I say hey Siri and the entertainment system becomes unresponsive. I need to stop the car, get out lock the doors. I wait a minute then it's fine. 2024 I4 summer build. Going in Sept for service, hopefully there's an update.

My Apple CarPlay has been faultless, wired or wireless. However, I’ve been in France this week and every peage station crashes the whole entertainment system when it’s in CarPlay mode. The only fix is to pull over, get out the car, lock it and then unlock/get back in/restart. Is there a fix for this?

It crashes bluetooth. I had the same with Android Auto at every peage station too but that does at least restart itself after a minute.
Didn't know it did it with wired too - not sure how that can happen as I assumed the peage station card reader was just interfering with the bluetooth signal.

No, sorry, I meant it had been flawless both wired and wireless, but when using it wireless, then the peage stations crash it.

Ah OK. There's no fix for it other than using a wired connection. It happens in all cars using bluetooth.
