CarPlay Not Connecting 2 stories

CarPlay Not Connecting belongs under Apple CarPlay because the symptom only makes sense in that product or technical context. The useful distinction is this: the phone and vehicle never establish a usable session, so pairing state, permissions, cable or wireless transport, head-unit mode, device support, and initial negotiation come before app-specific troubleshooting. Readers should come away with a way to distinguish likely causes, test them in a sensible order, avoid unrelated changes, and verify recovery under the conditions that originally triggered the problem.
