Default C7 Car Play

Ok so I have reset the Head unit to Factory and still half the time Car Play doesn't come up on any device just says Device Mirroring.

Anyone have a permanent solution as it is annoying

Could be a phone pairing issue. Make sure the phone operating system and apps are up to date. Then delete the phone and then add it back.

Try a different high quality cable with good strain relief?

When you ask for help, it is useful to state what you have already tried...

Also, a little more detail would be helpful. Where is this "Device Mirroring" notice appearing? Does it replace the "Projection" icon on the infotainment screen after you plug in the cord; does it appear as a full infotainment screen notification, or does it show up on your phone? A photo might help.

Why did you do a factory reset? Had it been working fine from when ever you purchased the car and all of a sudden this issue appeared and you did a factory reset for that purpose?

Since you say you are technical, we presume that you are using official Apple charging cords for troubleshooting since non-Apple cords have proven to be a problem with many of the C7 CarPlay issues?

Are you using the USB plug in the center armrest, or the one in the hidden compartment? Maybe try the other one.

Also, I’ve had mixed results with a wireless adapter. It worked about 50% of the time. Switched to a different wireless adapter, and now it works 100%.

Good luck!
