I have a 2021 Elentra and have the same problem has you guys I did the Update today and I did a half an hour drive to work and had no issue ! So I’ll wait and see a couple days to see if it will comeback . Hopefully it’s behind us it’s so frustrating!
I don’t want to speak too soon, but since updating this morning, during my 20 min drive home from work, it ran as it should.
It’s not android it’s Apple phones
Is it still working for you? I just installed the 14.4 public beta and the Sorento is still disconnecting mine. I submitted feedback to Apple via the public beta portal. Hoping to get it on their radar.
I'm not so sure. Many other car brands that support wireless ACP (Audi, BMW, etc.) aren't reporting the same problems as Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis. Android doesn't use the ACP protocol when communicating with the head unit. Kia may have misimplemented their end of the ACP protocol or may be too sensitive to a momentary loss of connectivity caused by interference, etc.
I’ve had a ticket open with Kia America HQ about the wireless CarPlay disconnecting issue. Sunday they told me they expect to have a fix available this week for dealers to download. You’ll need to go into a dealer to let them update it. Apparently Apple changed something with iOS14 and didn’t tell Kia so they’re having to update everyone’s infotainment system. I scheduled an appointment for Jan 18. Hoping they will have it ready by then.
No, I don't believe for a second that they "failed to tell Kia". In my opinion - informed by my 35+ years of professional software development experience - anyone at Kia/Hyundai that says that is totally ignorant of how this works or is lying to save face for Kia/Hyundai dropping the ball. Kia/Hyundai's developers/contractors, like all of Apple's dev partners, can get early access to developer seeds of a new iOS release months before it is released to the general public. They also get updates regularly as the release is refined - all before the GA release (public general availability release). If Apple really did break CarPlay connectivity, Kia's developers and the developers of every other manufacturer's infotainment device would have known about it before it went GA and would have had the ability to initiate trouble tickets with Apple and work with Apple's CarPlay engineering team to troubleshoot and correct the issue. Clearly, Kia/Hyundai was caught up short after iOS 14 was released to the world. That makes me think that their continuing engineering folks that maintain the infotainment software are either underfunded, incompetent, or non-existent. Again, this is MY opinion.

When the fix is available, it will be obvious who is changing their code. If Apple is working on a fix, it would get folded into the next iOS 14.x update. If you are instructed to bring the car into the dealer so they can reflash the firmware or if they tell you to wait for an over-the-air update push from Kia, then that's obviously not an Apple fix.

It's a Kia update that requires a zip file on a USB stick. No OTA update.
that’s awesome really hoping they can issue an update to wireless for the 10.25” units.
