I just purchased a 2024 Prius Limited AWD and for the life of me can't get Apple Carplay to work wirelessly with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. It's something to do with the phone as I have no problem with an iPhone 14 Pro Max or an iPhone 15. There are a lot of complaints out on the Interweb but no real solutions other than plug it in with a USB-C cable. Yes using wired Carplay works but that defeats the purpose of Wireless Carplay. So I repeat as anyone got Wireless Carplay to work on a 2024 Prius (not Prime) and an iPhone 16 Pro Max? If yes what's the trick. I thought I fixed it by doing a hard network reset but no, the phone eventually stopped connecting again. If I delete and re-add the phone things work for a while but the next day things don't. Thanks, J
OK - this one got me worried since I run NordVPN all the time. There is a known issue with NordVPN and wireless Carplay and I'm not sure if it has been resolved yet. If you are using NordVPN, go to "Protocols" and select "OpenVPN (UDP)" . This should resolve the connectivity issue, hopefully. If you run another VPN, try changing the settings as above to see if this mitigates the issue.
