So my Apple Carplay in my Clarity stopped working entirely...I have an iPhone 8 Plus...also changed out the cable 5 times with no luck. If I Plug in the cable, and change Audio source cto iPod works...reset my phone and plugged in a new phone...reset the Infotainment system to default...still no carplay response everything else works. Smartphone connection button on the home menu is greeted out and says “when safe, please confirm that your smartphone is connected to the USB port which had a smartphone icon on the lid”. Yes it is connected to the correct port. The port charges the device also. Not sure what else I can try. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I haven’t seen this problem but you might just want to try deleting the car from CarPlay on your phone and just setting it up again as a new connection.

Did that also:) no luck. Resetting the Infotainment deletes all devices and tried adding back. The carplay feature seems shot.

I have occasional random issues with Carplay and sometimes think it’s broken. Sometimes toggling CarPlay on and off in the iPhone settings helps. I also find that it sometimes forces me to force an unlock with passcode in order to recognize. Definitely flakier than I would hope. Hoping iOS 12 with new CarPlay will improve reliability b

Tried that too...Here is the weird thing...I tried 4 different Apple iPhones...and none of them triggers the Apple Carplay...but I plugin a Samsung S9 and the bloody Android Auto works...so it’s got something to do Apple devices/Carplay:)

When I first bought the Clarity, my iPhone connected right up when I plugged it in. I did have intermittent problems that was solved by replacing a cheap cable bought from Amazon (some no name brand from China). After a iOS update, it didn't seem to connect at all. This was solved by making sure the phone is separately activated using the fingerprint ID. It's an extra step compared to before but it connects 100% of the time now.
 
Same issue here with Android Auto and my google pixel. It worked perfectly from the very beginning but this week it suddenly stopped working for no reason ! If I find a fix, I'll let you know :-(
 
Recently I've been having issues with Carplay as well. I took a stab at cleaning the lightning jack on the phone with a stiff brush and canned air and things seem to be working better. There definitely was some pocket fuzz in the receptacle. Something to check out.

After 30 minutes of messing around in the phone setting and infotainment settings... I found a setting in the infotainment where my phone was disabled (but was still working on Bluetooth). I just had to re-enable it and problem solved :-S It's weird that it got disabled by itself !!!
