Just went on a rather long road trip with our new 6th Gen 4R. We encountered some issues with the carplay not wanting to sync up to our phones at various times. When going into device management, it shows the phone is connected as suspected, but then when you tap the "use carplay" tab, it just highlights and unhighlights, failing to load. Basically, we had to reset the home screen to reload everything.
 
We had this issue in my wife's Kia Sorento we just bought. We have it setup to where we pick a profile (hers or mine) and then it should load up CarPlay automatically. After a few days, it didn't load up for either of us no matter what we did. We basically had to do a reset on the infotainment, haven't had issues since.

All that to say, I wonder if it's more an Apple issue than a manufacturer issue, since I had the same issue you had, but in a Kia
 
For Carplay to be compatible with so many different brands of Auto manufacturers with the iOS/Android updates is not uncommon although very frustrating as we ditch using everything but rely on Carplay. Make sure to reboot your mobile phone after updates and or try shutting off Bluetooth and WiFi in your troubleshooting steps.

Ive had issues with connectivity in my MKV Supra. BMW infotainment but usually the fix for me is to just turn the car off completely and restart it. Its only happened a handful of times but is frustrating when your already driving and cant just turn the car off
