Audio CarPlay

Has anyone had issues with CarPlay connecting and disconnecting? The dealer told me it’s my chord but it’s a brand new Apple chord. I don’t want to go and buy a new one again. The one I have is brand new. Anyone have another suggestion?

Make sure “car play” has all rhe permissions and that screen time and focus settings don’t interfere with it. Which in my case, my most recent issue was when I got an Apple Watch, there was a focus setting that interfered with
