I have a 2023/4 Karoq SE L 1.5 Manual with the Amundson system.

I connect my phone (Apple SE ) via USB and car play has been working fine.

Now I can't get it to connect via car play. Car play is just not appearing as a option as it had been doing,.

Any suggestions?

Have you updated the software on your phone by any chance?

Updates often get my phone’s knickers in a twist.

Perhaps check if CarPlay is still showing in your iPhone settings. Other than checking your lead and switching off your phone and waiting for a minute or so before switching it back on I can’t think of anything else.

Difficult to know whether issue stems from car or phone. It might be worth calling Apple support to see if they have any ideas; if it’s an update issue you will not be the only one. In my experience they are willing to help even if warranty/Apple care is way out of date. 🤞

Thanks, as it happens, I am due my first a Service at a Škoda Main Dealer. (car is 18 months old, and I have had is 12 months) S0 I will drop in and ask them. I am sure they want the next couple of years servicing

It appears that Apple change things, and either an update on the Škoda or the IPhone makes my 5-year-old iPhone SE no longer compatible with car play on the car. My next phone will be a Samsung. Škoda support far more of them, including older models for longer.

I admit to taking a deep breath, saying a little prayer and crossing my fingers each time I connect my iPhone after a major IOS update. Out of interest, are you on IOS 18 or 26?

iOS 18.5 on iPhone SE 2nd Gen. It is model MX9R2B/A from April 2020 and discontinued 2022. So obsolete for 3 years, but still works and does what I need.

In the Škoda dealers yesterday, they looked at the support chart for Car play and the SE was not on it. The iPhone16e is on and that is the successor to the 3rd Gen Se.

However, the support for Samsung on Car Play is much longer. Personally, I am moving away from Apple.

I would not be surprised if Apple had killed the SE support themselves, they do that sort of thing. My Three Macs are now 12 years old and Intel Macs. Apple are very overrated and gone down hill since Steve Jobs. Though even he was no saint.

I’m in full agreement with you regarding; you get sucked in with all devices fully integrating and before you know it it’s very difficult to break away especially if you’re not a techie. I very reluctantly migrated over from Microsoft to Apple in 2016 when Microsoft were, for me anyway, riddled with problems and impossible to get phone support. One big plus, again for me, is that you so easily get to speak to a tech expert even if you do not have a current paid subscription.

Currently, have running PC's Macs and Linux systems.
The Macs are all over 10 years old, and I can swap parts on the Pro and the Macbook pro's They are all 3rd party repairable. Much of it by me, even on the laptops.

I went to PC's for Video Editing about 4 years ago because of the way Apple was heading. I don't like the M1 Macs at all for general purpose computing. Though I have designed many embedded systems with a similar sot of outlook where everything (or most of it) is on one MCU. It isn't appropriate for general purpose computers. So PC's it is running, currently Win 10 and 11 (also Win 7 and XP for legacy stuff)

Anyway, seeing as Apple is accelerating its planned obsolescence, I will be moving to Samsung for phones.
