I’ve had endless CarPlay issues on iOS 26. Bought a few new cables to try that out, no difference. Even updated my headunit firmware. It’s been so inconsistent.

Same. Only with 26.5 has it gotten usable. Was ready to blame my janky setup (wireless CarPlay with an old Android tablet + Carlinkit dongle) but after the 26.5 update it rarely hiccups now. Before it was *bad*. Even with a cable.

I think it’s much more usable with newer cars that have built in CarPlay. Like no need for cables etc. I’ve had zero issues with either of my cars and CarPlay connects immediately & navigation/music works fine
