Carplay on IOS 15.2 broken? Install 15.2.1!

[GvilleGuy]

I've been pulling my hair out for a few days. On IOS 15.2 I could not get CarPlay to work anymore starting several days ago. I did all of the usual tricks, including deleting my phone from Mini settings, deleting the Mini from my iPhone network and wifi settings, and re-adding it as a new device. It would fail to connect at the bluetooth prompts after a long pause.

I googled and found out that Apple just released 15.2.1 TODAY to address some issues, including "Third-party CarPlay apps may not respond to input".

I installed 15.2.1 and was immediately able to connect my phone to CarPlay.

"Third-party CarPlay apps may not respond to input"

I ran into this problem with the ChargePoint app last week, and I thought it was the app being screwy. And I can report this update doesn't create audio issues like I've seen previously.

Thanks for the tip. I thought the below zero temp was messing with my music
