Issue With CarPlay connecting.

My carplay connects and disconnects constantly. Thought it was my phone for the longest time until I got into my buddy's truck and it worked just fine. Drives me crazy.

I just wanted to add here as I just got a new iPhone recently and went through hours of talking with Apple to try and figure something out. I was in the boat of I’d plug my phone in (I have a center console with a OEM Apple cable) and I’ll I would get is charging. Phone could do Bluetooth calls, but would not do carplay. 
 

I tried 4 other iPhones in my truck and they all instantly went to carplay. I tried my phone in a friend’s car and my phone went right to carplay. Did all of these tests with Apple and restarts of phone and truck and eventually found (in the truck, not phone) the settings screen. Scrolled to the Apple CarPlay option, and manually clicking “add device” while my phone was plugged in forced the CarPlay message to pop on my phone. Works perfectly now. 
 

just wanted to put this out there so people might find that setting faster and not be dumb like me.
