iPhone isn’t recognized by carplay

My iPhone 8 has suddenly stopped pairing with my car. I’ve used it for 2 1/2 years without a problem until two days ago. iPhone is up to date, I’ve reset it, turned the car on and off, tried a different cable, I forgot this vehicle and when I try to pair it again it just spins.

If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
