Hi Everyone ,
I have an issue with my new Kia K5 GT Line Wireless car play . Intermittently it gets below error and we have to click ok and then click on CarPlay button to go back to previous display (like music , maps etc).
Even though this error is seen luckily the connectivity is not completely lost as music and maps still connected in the background . We can hear the music and maps navigation despite of this error . My iPhone updated to ios14 latest version . Tried with other phones with ios14 but same error .
Attached error image .
I checked in other forums and there are few people Facing the same issue. For a new car getting this error all the time is so annoying.
Please let me know if anyone resolved this issue
Thank you

There’s a pretty lengthy thread on this already. No fix yet, but hoping Kia will do a software update at some point.

Wireless carplay randomly disconnects

Hello everyone, just curious if any other K5 owners that use wireless carplay have had any connectivity issues? Ive noticed mine will randomly give a connection error. Sometimes 3-4 times in a short drive. Seems to be more frequent when using maps. Driving me nuts. I have ruled out my...

I have had issues from day 1. I’ve now owned my K5 for a year and it’s taken joy out of having a new car. The Apple CarPlay disconnects constantly and sometimes the screen just goes black. It’s very inconvenient when navigating and you constantly lose the connection. The Huffines dealership only says they cannot duplicate the issue which is total bunk- obviously since this forum is still about the same issue!! I’m here at the dealership for the 5th time and have had it!!

Had the same problem but since updating my apple iPhone 11 to 14.9 15.1 ext problem went away

Iv installed all the updates to the cars head unit and my phone . Still get the issue ! It’s actually a saftey concern because I’ll be using the GPS and it will just shut off when trying to figure out the location I’m going at the worst possible times .

Well...I'm not dealing with my Kia issue any longer as I decided to trade it in yesterday for a Toyota.

 

[Truels2]

I dont blame you. The car has given me nothing but issues. since day 1.

Just so you know, the Toyota headunit has a whole other issue with connectivity, at least when it comes to Android Auto. Make sure you're using the newest standard of USB cable that does both charging and data. We've had connection issue with our 2020 RAV4 until we discovered that the newest Android Auto update (7.0+) now requires us to use a specific set standard of USB-C cable to connect properly.

It's only recent and also affects other car manufacturers as my brother also had the same issue with a different car until he switched out the cable.

I've been using wireless AA since I got my car in April. Initially I had some issues where it did not automatically connect, and maybe 3-4 times it has stopped working altogether, but since the 1st month It's worked perfectly 99% of the time. I'm using a Galaxy S21+.

I am having the exact same issue after purchasing the end of last year. Agree that is not only a nuisance and unacceptable frustration for a brand new vehicle, but also can be very dangerous due to the distraction when it begins to go in and out of connection while using navigation or trying to maintain a call.

I really think Kia should at minimum offer to swap out these useless ”wireless” units with the standard wired carplay units if since they are unable to correct.

Can't you still connect via a cable even if your car supports wireless?

If so, I haven’t been able to figure it out…. I’ve tried by deleting the wife and Bluetooth connections to the car and plugging into any/all of the USB slots with no luck. If anyone else has a fix to allow this, please let me know!
