I feel like there may be a (not so great) solution here.
Others are reporting that getting a new iPhone is solving many of the problems they had with CarPlay while others are reporting erasing their iPhone has solved their problems. The common thread here is that in both cases the integrity of "your" iPhone is likely a lot "cleaner" than mine (and others) iPhone.
I too have been kicking around the idea of blowing away my iPhone 6+ and restarting from scratch without using a backup to restore it but just haven't had the time or desire to really do that. But I might take the plunge anyway and see what happens. If nothing else, I can clean house and get rid of some apps that I never use or inexplicably installed.
Bigger question is - assuming erasing my iPhone makes things better, is there something I might re-install that will break it again? For example, one thing that we all may or may not have in common that could certainly cause some problems is the HondaLink app. I know it isn't required but I wonder how many of us actually have it installed and if you do not have it installed do things work better? I guess as a quick test I could delete it and see what happens. That would certainly be easier than erasing my iPhone.
Frustrating for sure.
FYI...I am in the camp where CarPlay works for about two minutes and then displays "No Device Connected" and the only way to resolve it is to restart my iPhone completely. I also see the "Not Compatible" message when I leave my iPhone connected after turning off the car but I typically don't do that anyway. However, for the most part, playing music via Bluetooth works fine in my 2016 Touring where others have reported problems.
