Car play works for a few minutes and intermittently disconnects and after about a minute or two or three it connects and after a few minutes it disconnects all over again

Please update to iOS 16.6 and let us know if it helps.
Even now with latest iOS as at today has the same issue. When its disconnected even the USB port dont do charging
Thanks for reporting. What iPhone model are you owning?
Same issue here.
Toyota RAV4 TRD 2022
iPhone 14 Pro running 16.6 Public beta
Connecting to my RAV4, using an Apple certified cable.
Device will connect for 2 to 3 minutes then disconnect. I have tried rebooting my device as well as restarting my car, but the same issue persists. I have tried “Forget this Car” in the settings then setting it up again but that doesn’t work either.
I do have 2 IPhones, XR and 12, both updated to the latest software.
The XR is working with no troubles at all and the IPhone 12 keeps on disconnecting.
I tried all the tricks with no solution.
I think it is related to the components after IPhone XR
Are there any further ideas to try?
Thanks for the feedback. So they are both running iOS 16.6.1? iOS 17 will be released today! If you upgrade let us know if it helps!
