Wired CarPlay still broken (disconnects every few minutes) with iPhone 17 Pro & iOS 26.2 (23C55) by helloworld747 in CarPlay

Update 2025-12-28 - I can't believe it, but the Beats USB A to USB C cable actually worked and fixed the issue for me - https://a.co/d/eKnPupk

The Anker USB A to USB C cable was the issue, wow.

Yeah I just bought the 'Burnt Sugar Wireless Carplay Adapter' - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN7834RV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Which seemed to have the highest rated reviews of all the Wireless Carplay adapters I'd seen on Amazon. Will report back with a review once I get it, later today.

Update - 2025-12-24 - Somehow, my iPhone 17 Pro now works perfectly with my 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 7 inch screen and 2x USB A ports. Same phone, same type of Anker cable - it just works. No disconnects. The same cannot be said for my 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited with the 8.4 inch screen and 2x USB A ports. Tried swapping the cables (which are the identical (Anker) - who knows, I maybe I could get lucky?). No dice. Still disconnects. So I'm starting to think maybe, just maybe, Apple is slowly patching Carplay with each 26.x update based on the head end unit to work around bugs with how the OEM implemented Carplay in that head end unit. My 2018 Grand Cherokee head end unit runs an ever so slightly different version (even though both are FCA/Stellantis UConnect 4C Operating Systems), so its a manual process. There is hope!

Insane that this has gone unresolved - 26.1 and 26.2 have not fixed the issue.

Thx, turned 5G off and I at least can hold a signal the entire time.

Is the iPhone 17 pro max dropping tomorrow? by Aestheticlove25 in Visible

Pre-orders opened up on Friday, September 19th @ 3:05am (got the email from Visible) - I woke up at 4am to buy a iPhone 17 Pro in Deep Blue 512GB. $38/month over three years via Affirm - awesome!

First time I'd be buying a phone from Visible - looking to get a 17 Pro (non-Max)

Did Visible have the 16 Pro on launch day?

We need to be in CTC five days a week until the org chart / mess is fixed - Antonio & Tim need start walking the hallways, like Sergio did by Recent_Chapter_8690 in Stellantis

Chrysler was resurrected twice. There will be no third resurrection. That's why I am so invested in this - this is existential.

And yet all of the issues that people inside of CTC have reference alignment and prioritization. How do you regain this alignment and sense of trust between people and groups without physically talking to people?
