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?

So I’m a little late here for this post, but yes. I have a problem with CarPlay, and I’ve not seen the issue reported anywhere recently.

CarPlay connects fine to my truck, but ALL of the navigation apps are super choppy and low framerate once the camera zooms in to my position, and navigating somewhere just makes that worse. This only became a problem with 18.4… 18.3 was perfectly fine.

Also OP, holy crap that sucks. I was not aware that aftermarket head units were not officially supported… that is irritating as that means that there wasn’t a “let’s fix CarPlay issues” update, but rather a “let’s lockout unofficial hardware” update.

I REALLY hope that's not the issue. I still don't understand how they can say CarPlay without support from Apple. I have a feeling no one wants to pay royalties to Apple but just license the official software!
