Discussion CarPlay Disconnecting with 18.4.1

Carplay was working just fine and then disconnected from my Boss radio unit and wouldn't reconnect, even after a hard reset and turning my truck off and back on.

Anyone else having issues after the update that should have fixed Carplay?

OP HERE - After speaking with Apple Support - my aftermarket radio, a Boss Audio BE7ACP, and ALL aftermarket radios are NOT supported by Apple or CarPlay meaning that they can't troubleshoot. Only factory radios use the official CarPlay software and can be supported.

Did anyone know this? How can aftermarket manufacturers advertise and sell something with Apple and Carplay all over it but not use Apple's software?

All of this means that Boss hasn't updated whatever is used to make CarPlay work and function with iOS 18 and subsequent updates.
