No you can't upgrade the software yourself, its a dealer job.

Whether they will do it is entirely random though.

There is at least one newer version I am aware of, 1668.

Whether this fixes it is questionable.... I have the 1668 version but I don't use carplay myself

There has been at least one forum member who got upgraded from 1666 to 1668, but like I said, you need to not ask directly for it, tell them about the particular problems you have and let them work out if they need to upgrade...

Its really frustrating!

Even more frustrating when I tell you that 1668 breaks somethings and that 1671(I think) is around the corner and that maybe does Nav in dash as well as wireless Android Auto...(maybe AA isn't something you need) and possibly fixes bluetooth connectivity issues.

Just a thought might try to use cable instead of wireless and see if the problem persists

I often use the cable and I’m sure it still does it on occasion.
I’ll test it further this week.

Disconnect by switching off Bluetooth on the phone and then back on again?
