A few days ago my iPhone XR stopped connecting to smartlink/Apple CarPlay in my Kodiaq.
Today I have completed the following troubleshooting tasks:
1. Updated my iOS to most current version v16
2. Tried to reset the smart link connection by selecting Forget this Car... My car now no longer comes up as available when CarPlay on my phone tries to search for it while connected via USB cable.
3. Tried multiple cables (even bought a new one) and cleaned out both my iPhone charge point & the USB point in my car
4. The car does connect enough to charge my phone, so there is some connection occurring.
5. Tried another iPhone - the car still does not come up as available on its CarPlay in Settings.
6. The car was used by a friend at the weekend and none of their phones were connecting to CarPlay via the Smartlink.
Any ideas? Do I need to reboot the Firmware for the Infotainment system? If yes. Can I do that without going to a garage?
I hope someone can help
