CarPlay does not work (anymore)

[Alfa]

The car complains that I have to enable Siri. It was complaining about that in the early days than I did something to enable Siri and it worked! Now it’s broken again and I did not really change anything related to Siri.

The last thing I did was as trying remote parking and for that you must give permission to track GPS always (only when using the app does not work… WTF) so I changed it back giving no GPS permission to the MyPorsche App. Dunno if that is related or not.

Mine stopped working too so I just don't bother with it any more, so sorry can't help on why.

Does it work if you connect the phone with a cable?

Also, while it might not be related to your problem, make sure that the phone isn’t connected to the car Wifi. Wireless CarPlay uses Wi-Fi to connect so I’ve found that manually connecting to the Wi-Fi made it significantly more unreliable (it seems like it tries to disconnect and reconnect multiple times)

I am not happy with CarPlay either and it is quite unreliable. Once in a while I unpair in my phone settings and also from the car and do the re-pairing process, which gets it working again.
In general I try not to think too much about the software shortcomings with the Taycan and just enjoy what it is good at … the driving experience

I've also noticed that lately wireless Carplay is connecting less reliably. The solution for me is to go into my iphone and toggle Bluetooth off and back on. That alone somehow resets things and usually the car will automatically connect with the phone after that. It's annoying to have to do it because I've already started my drive, but it seems like a reliable workaround.

Weird - have not had and continue to not have any issues whatsoever with wireless CarPlay in last couple months - my experience can’t be unique so I do wonder if the specific issues here are more likely due to personal phone setups and/or local network issues as surely otherwise we’d all be reporting them.
