CarPlay frequently shows blank screen

As a new HA user am I still learning every day, often by trial and error, but this is something I cannot seem to fix.

Often - I would say 2 out of 3 times - when starting CarPlay in my car it shows just a blank screen. The only remedy is to stop the car disconnect CarPlay and try again.

Details:

  • Home Assistant 2025.6.1
  • iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 18.5)

Anyone else having these issues? And are there ways to troubleshoot this?

Genuine question - Are you sure this is a HA issue and not a generic CarPlay issue?

Android Auto does the same thing to me once in a blue moon. I’ve narrowed it down to the screen switching to the reverse cam right as Android Auto is booting up. Now I simply wait a couple of seconds until I see the splash screen before putting my car in reverse and the issue hasn’t shown up in months.

I’ll see if I can detect a ‘pattern’ like that. Could be a CarPlay issue.
