CarPlay failure
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2022 9:04 am
I have a 2018 Polo, 95 PS, and CarPlay disconnects after about 20 minutes, then when it reconnects, it repeatedly disconnects after a few seconds to a minute. My iPhone X worked fine in a Skoda loan car, and I’ve tried various apple cables, no joy. VW say there are no FW updates to apply. So I guess it must be a hardware fault. Anyone come across this scenario?
I’m guessing there is a poor connection somewhere. I don’t think it’s a software/firmware fault otherwise it would be commonplace. Is it hard to remove the dashboard to access the connectors behind the LCD?
I notified VW within warranty but I don’t think they made a note of it, and I assumed it was a software issue, so I doubt they will fix it within warranty. The car is now four years old.
