Re: "CarPlay not connecting on iPhone 13 Pro Max after 27.0.1 installation"
(1) You may need to check whether there is a firmware update available for the vehicle's stereo / infotainment system. The vehicles manual, or manufacturer's support website may be able to help.
(2) Apple support provides a trouble-shooting article that may help: See what to do: If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support
(3) You are not the only one to encounter difficulty. (One solution does not fit all cases.)
Other Apple users have posted in another discussion thread:
iOS 27 CarPlay not working after update o… - Apple Community
(4) If you want to send feedback to reach those who work behind-the-scenes at Apple, and maybe contribute to a smoother experience, there's a feedback website: Product Feedback - Apple
(5) For a wired connection: Check the iPhone port is not blocked (pocket lint, speck of dust etc) or damaged. Try another cable.
