I have Apple Car Play in my new 2020 718. When in works it is brilliant - I can use TomTom which is much better than the built in navigation.

But sometimes, and usually first thing in a morning when I am in a rush, it just does not connect. I try unplugging the iPhone cable, turn off the PCM, turn off the engine and restart, even lock the car and unlock it, and yet nothing happens.

And yet next time I get in the car it works perfectly.

Any clues?

It's incredibly annoying, I have the destination already entered into my phone, and then - no car play. hope someone can help.

Do you use the same leadevery time, I found that only official apple leads worked in my Carrera T.
Yes, I’ve bought the very expensive (£30!) proper Porsche lead.

An ordinary one worked fine actually, but I liked the way the Porsche lead self coils and fits itself neatly into the armrest holder.
