Archieast Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 After successful upgrade to Carplay with iPhone 8.02 version Carplay works for a while fine with some problems with Spotify but after 10 minutes or 20 it suddenly disconnects and I have to unplug and re-plug to restart Carplay again. It is very annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kush1007 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Sounds simple but have you rebooted / power cycled both the iPhone and NEX units? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Archieast Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yes I did and it did not work actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B1978J Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Have you tried shutting down all unused apps on the phone? Rebooting the phone does not kill them. You must double tap the home button, then swipe the app to be killed towards the top of the screen. I have no idea if it will help, but it will, at least, remove one possible cause.

It is very annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance I have run into this as well. The time seems to be very random. I use my 30 minute drive home from work as a measuring stick - sometimes it works great and I don't have a problem and other times it "disconnects: 2-3 times. When it happens the USB1 selection disappears as a selectable input. As Archieast said, the only way it seems you can snap CarPlay back to life is to unplug my iPhone 5s and plug in back in. FYI...have quit out of application and restarted my iPhone 5s multiple times. Had hopes that the iOS 8.1 beta might address it and for a little while it appeared it did but over the weekend it disconnected again. While I hope this is a fixable CarPlay issue, there is a small part of me that believes this might be something more. I had less severe issues when I would run my iPod Classic using USB1. Every once in awhile my iPod Classic would also "disappear" but in this case I could switch to another input, wait a "few minutes" and then USB1 would reappear again. I chalked it up to using an old iPod Classic but maybe there is something going on with the USB1 connection that needs to be looked at closer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beezle Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have seen this as well. No solution as yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kelkin Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 8.1 beta 2 hosed CarPlay for me. Can't even use it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tekki Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Had a friend with almost same situation, we replaced the usb extension cable and used an apple certified lightning cable and it fixed his problem, careful not to bend the usb extension too much.

Archieast Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I will try another usb extension cable then and let you know ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will try this as well. Fairly certain I am using an Apple cable but cannot vouch that I have not bent it "too much." I will pay attention to that going forward... ...although with that said, CarPlay (8.1 beta 2) has worked well the last two days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Archieast Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I tried different Apple cables but no luck. It disconnects at different times. I guess we need to see how 8.1 will do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epsilonkore Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not using an Apple cable here (long Belkin though it is Apple certified) and mine is not disconnecting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
