Persistent CarPlay connection stability across various Android head units and iOS versions

Technical Positioning
Robust, uninterrupted CarPlay experience
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue details a widespread and persistent problem where DiPlay repeatedly disconnects and reconnects CarPlay sessions, affecting both wired and wireless connections across multiple DiPlay versions (0.2.0, 0.2.6) and diverse hardware configurations. The problem spans various BYD models (Qin Champion Edition, Dlink 4.0), Android head unit versions (Android 9, 12, 15), and iPhone models/iOS versions (iOS 16.6.1, 17.5.1, 17.7.2). This broad impact suggests a fundamental instability in DiPlay's core connection management or its interaction with underlying Android system services. The user's hypothesis regarding `ADB permissions` points to potential system-level restrictions imposed by OEM Android builds, which could be prematurely terminating DiPlay's background processes or network connections. This systemic instability severely compromises product reliability and user trust, demanding a comprehensive investigation into process persistence, network management, and potential workarounds for OEM-specific Android behaviors.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Source Icon GitHub Issue Sep 29, 2026
Repo: shihabal3amri/DiPlay
BUG CarPlay disconnects and reconnects automatically every few minutes on both wired and wireless connection`

### DiPlay version

0.2.6

### Car and head-unit model

BYD Qin Champion Edition 2023, DiLink controller version: 13.6.1.2303290.2.13.6.1.2208200.1

### iPhone model and exact iOS version

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16.6.1

### Connection

Both

### What happened and how to reproduce it

My personal guess is this may be caused by restrictions from the car's head unit system. Many third-party apps on older car models require ADB permissions to run properly, including apps for some CarPlay adapters. I wonder if ADB authorization support can be added to DiPlay in a future update.

same the car's infotainment system uses Android 9, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max uses iOS 17.5.1. This issue has been observed in both versions 0.2.0 and 0.2.6, and occurs whether the connection is made directly via Wi-Fi or using a hotspot. hope someone can help identify the problem.

Using an iPhone 13 Pro running OS 17.7.2, the same issue was also encountered on a Dlink 4.0 (9.0), a vivo 2405A (15), and a Redmi K50 (12). By the way, I was using the car head unit's hotspot.
