Apple CarPlay issues
Kona EV 2025 Preferred Ultimate Canada
My CarPlay suddenly stopped working. Not sure why. Had to reconnect the iPhone every time.
Anyways in case this happens to you. Here’s what I did to fix it. Also my map said it needed updates but every time I went to update, it said it could not update over the air but needed a USB update. Logged onto Hyundai website and ran usb installer and downloaded latest software. Had to buy a usb-c stick as my Kona only has usb-c. Had to get a usb-c to usb converter for my pc. Took usb-c stick to car and ran update. It updated the maps first, then updated the infotainment system. Took a couple of hours to do that. Then once car was powered off, it completed ✔️ everything and rebooted. Reset iPhone and removed Bluetooth connection from car and phone .
Activated CarPlay installation using the button on the steering wheel and finally everything is working.
- seems CarPlay is not using Bluetooth but wifi?
- CarPlay tile has a little gear ⚙️ icon now
Not sure what happened but glad I got it working.
