Hello, I have activated CarPlay, but when I try to register my iPhone 13 Pro with the car, it doesn't work at all. I tried the iPhone 2x, iPhone 13 Pro 1x, iPhone 14 Pro Max 1x, and iPhone 5s 1x (it worked twice, but disconnected after a few minutes). Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Or is there someone from London who knows how to solve this issue?
* I updated my phone.
* I tried to update the Bluetooth on my BMW.
* I tried to reset my phone.
* I reset the car's tablet.
* I tried all the solutions from YouTube, but none worked.

i attached a photo with the error ive got. Please help

it seems you are missing the wifi antenna!

tri to search for car wifi signal, if the signal is very weak, then you need to install external wifi antenna to the back of headunit

As above.

i had the exact same issue with my iphone 13. Tried everything you listed also and didn't work. I was able to establish connection when i realized that the Carplay connects via "wifi" not bluetooth. Make sure to select the corresponding car wifi on your new phone and it will connect.
