Did you do a full transfer (wireless phone to phone) when you upgraded? I know this will transfer all the little settings as well as your data. If not, there are a few settings that need to be set to allow an external device (the car) to access things like Siri© etc.

Let's start with just how you did the transfer (direct wireless, iCloud, through a MAC) and then we can set a baseline and start from there.

 

Full Restore from iCoud. Took about 4 hours.

 

Always do a phone to phone transfer. You will than have all settings transferred and much quicker. Mine took about 30 minutes.

 

Ok, that did not restore some of your security and authorization settings. A peer to peer copy (phone-old -> phone-new) would have also moved over your authorization settings.

Go into the Siri© and CarPlay® sections and check to make sure that they authorize external access.

 

Yes, that is also on.

However, took a ride tonight and it all is working now. I did not change anything. Just started working.

 

Sunspots?? Let's hope it still is good for you. Apple just released 16.1 beta to developers that also had some more fixes and adjustment to CarPlay®. Hopefully we'll see that in a few weeks.

 

Normally, I do phone-to-phone setup. I did not have time to do that. The phone said that would take 4 hours. It ALSO recommended iCloud transfer said it would take 15 mins. The 15 mins ended up being hours!

However, all is well now except for MS Outlook that I need for work. But, I will fix that tomorrow when I get to my office.

I am the IT Director of the organization. So, that fix will be simple. DUO is not recognizing the new device. Easy.

 

I’ve seen some articles about several different things that the iPhone 14 is having problems with; and that Apple engineers are aware and are working on them. Hopefully the update helps (16.1)
