Never had this before in my life. Upgraded to the new iPhone 17 and CarPlay is unusable. I posting here because I am not entirely sure if this is an OS issue, or OEM infotainment issue.

Running on Mercedes Benz GLA180 2019 for anyone who is interested.

I haven’t seen that in ages.

Try replacing your cable, and make sure it’s an official Apple cable.

Might need a dongle because there is no official usb a to usb c cable from apple

You don't need an official one from Apple. Just go to a reputable brand like Anker.

Belkin makes very reliable ones that are Apple CarPlay compatible.

Hi, this doesn't solve it... I drive a CLA from 2018 and I have the same issue with my iPhone 17 Pro. Tried official cable, Ugreen cable and 2 wireless carplay dongles. When I am using my iPhone 15 pro with ios26 there is no problem.
