For some reason as of late, when I plug my phone in, CarPlay does not initiate? It is intermittent, and not consistent. At times it works, and some times it won’t??

For what it's worth, I have an android phone. I will point out that uConnect got very wonky on me when I was out on my trip, so much so that both my phone AND the Uconnect system essentially became fubar. Thankfully both sorted themselves out, phone with a reboot, and uConnect fixed itself on its own. I will point out that uConnect is fine with the phone plugged in if you leave it plugged in. I happen to be constantly plugging, and unplugging it as I was using my phone to take pictures. None the less, I'm convinced that Uconnect has many bugs that need to be addressed. Take it for what it's worth, and let's hope that there's a fix coming soon.

You can try this if you haven’t done so yet:

  1. Hard reboot your iPhone - don’t know which model you have - if you don’t know how YouTube is your friend
  2. Reminder - iPhone needs to be unlocked for CarPlay to work
  3. Use a new cable - they tend to fray at either connector end
  4. Move your connection to other USB ports - this will also let you know if it’s the cable or not

I had similar issues (iPhone8) which stopped after installing the iOS 12.1.2 update. My gut feeling is that it was the upgrade/installation process that fixed the issues, not the actual software version.
Girlfriends iPhoneX and my previous iPhoneSE had no issues before of after the iOS chnages.

Does your phone have any updates that you can run?

Clean the lint out of your iPhone's lightening port.
