A few days ago I picked up an article about the iCloud Private Relay which is apparently in beta and available to iCloud+ subscribers. I thought, what the hell, more privacy is always a good thing so I followed the instructions (attached below) and flipped it on. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out that with the private relay switched on, my Car Play went schizoid. (Important point: I bluetooth my car play from the iPhone rather than directly from the PCM because, like many others, my Car Play will not load onto my PCM -- subject of numerous threads on this forum). At first, Car Play would stop playing after a song, then it went completely off the grid. Black screen on the PCM. I tried all the usual tricks: turned off the iPhone, rebooted; shut down the car, rebooted. Nothing. And then it occurred to me that maybe the Private Relay could have something to do with my Car Play problems. I know nothing about VPNs, other than that I did not use one the day before when everything worked fine, and so I turned off the relay, shut everything down and restarted. Problem solved.
