Hi there,

so my 2018 BMW have wireless carplay.

had my iphone X with 12,x on it and updated until 13.00, and worked fantastic.

got my iphone pro max couple of days ago, try to pair with the car - I can pair via bluetooth, spotify works, calls, etc but it doesnt do carplay.

when it goes to "activating carplay" just wait time and then says it fails.

so I went and picked up my iPhone X, which has been formated and tried to connect it - it doesnt connect, same thing.

remember : this phone was connected prior ( since 12,4 I belive ) via wireless carplay and now doesnt work.

iphone X has 13,00 and iphone pro max 13,1 , neither of them work with carplay ( just keeps waiting and then fails the carplay startup ).

is this a known bug ?

I tried so far:

- reseting network settings, ofc removing and adding the phone in the car and the car in the phone
- bold text on and off
- started and large zoom
- dark and "normal" mode
- reset of the phone.

neither of these options worked.

ideias ? or its is a known bug ?

to be clear : with the iPhone X and IOS13 it was WORKING.

It seems that NEW phones cant register with the BMW Wireless Carplay.

The iPhone X that was working, was formated and now it doesnt work as well ( neither the new iPhone Pro Max )

I have an 11 pro and CarPlay is working fine for me in my 18 5 series with wireless CarPlay. I would reset all settings on your phone next and then try and make sure the phone is deleted from the car and from your Bluetooth menu on phone and then re-pair afterwards
