CarPlay issues in 2022 Vitara

Has anyone had issues connecting their 2022 Vitara to Apple CarPlay? I picked up my car today and it connects to CarPlay for maybe two seconds, then crashes back to the main screen

I've reset the infotainment unit, updated my phone to the latest software, and even switched the cord I was using to plug it in, but none of it made a difference

I'm wondering if there's some kind of firmware update I can do at home, or if I'm doomed to make the trek back to the dealership. Any help is appreciated

I’ve got a different issue in that my Apple lightning cable is stuck in the USB port. I’m a bit reluctant to squirt WD40 in there as I suspect it’s one of the connecting pins that’s pinged out somehow (it’s absolutely stuck fast). How do you get the socket out ? Is it just brute force over ignorance ?

Popped out the USB socket yesterday and freed the cable. Gave it a liberal coat of contact cleaner and worked the cable in and out a few times And all seemed good. Was just about to refit it and the damn thing stuck again. Looking at it there’s a bit of discolouration rather than scoring but I needed to install an Android cable for my wife and that seems to work fine so I just need to source a replacement Apple cable.
