I don't know about that - my Subaru head unit crashes a lot more when I'm clicking around in the Subaru programs, and it very rarely crashes when I'm clicking in CarPlay. My feeling is there are bugs in the Subaru provided programs, and very few bugs in the program that launches CarPlay and gives it control of the screen (probably because that is a very simple program).

So it seems that the more features I use via carplay the less it crashes. It's not perfect, but it certainly helps.

I had/have a 2020 Subaru Forester and 2024 Subaru Ascent and both head units have completely frozen to the point removing the battery was the only fix (even the radio fuses didn’t reset the underlying computer).

It’s really quite a shame as they’re fantastic cars otherwise. But yes, it’s never CarPlay that does it.

I had the same problem with my Volvo XC-90 (2020 Model). It's been years since any of my iPhones have crashed. Never had a problem with carplay in my BMW or Chrysler minivan either. I hope Volvo has found the problem and released a fix by now.
