Anyone else: CarPlay disconnects at the same part of my commute

MileageBuilder65Community StarterApr 17, 20262023 Subaru Outback WildernessSan Diego
2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness, about 1,200 miles. Wireless CarPlay is solid almost everywhere but drops at one intersection consistently. Is this likely RF interference, or are there settings/firmware things worth checking first? I'm in San Diego. Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2023 Subaru Outback in San Diego, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “carplay disconnects at the same part of,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Quick add on that: A second data point from another 2023 Subaru Outback owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2023 Subaru Outback, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 Subaru Outback before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
