Beta 3 Broke my Carplay in my 2016 Silverado (Mylink)
I can see the Projection button go green for Car Play and push it but nothing happens. Music still plays but display wont come up. Also the iPhone screen constantly turns on and off with every bump and turn.

Beta 3 on my Xr broke CarPlay in my Jeep Renegade Uconnect and with the Sony XAV-AXX5000 installed in my Wrangler. In both cases the head unit would show the CarPlay icon, but would freeze the display when pressed, the iPhone screen would cycle between waking/sleeping (momentary flash of CarPlay banneer)....maybe the third party cables I have in each vehicle? Guess I should have tried an Apple cable before I restored to iOS 12.

Beta 3 also broke CarPlay in my 2019 Ford Ranger. I have the latest sync version. Beta 2 was quirky on both my Ranger and my wife’s 2018 Lexus NX(just got the Lexus update the enables CarPlay). Going to try the Bluetooth delete to see if that works.
Edit - Bluetooth deleted didn't work

Same here. CarPlay worked fine on beta 2 but all I get is a black screen on my VW with beta 3. Annoying since I delayed going out of town 45 minutes while I updated then got stuck with no CarPlay on a long trip.
I have this same issue with my 2019 GMC Acadia. The CarPlay green projection comes on and all the apps on my iPhone XS work and go thru my car speakers. However if I tap the CarPlay app it beeps but does nothing. Also I was on a phone call and the screen on my iPhone kept flashing off and then on every 15 seconds or so.
Beta 3 CarPlay is a crapshoot, at best... It works perfectly on wife's Ford Edge (Sync 3) ... no issues at all.
In my Mazda (MX-5) with an aftermarket head unit (Alpine ILX-107), it worked great the first time I tried it after the update. Then for the next 2 days the head unit would report that CarPlay was connected, but all I got was a blank screen - no home screen ever appeared. Then, suddenly yesterday morning, it connected fine - home screen appeared, exactly as it did the very first time... but Spotify did not display the correct information, Waze, Google Maps and Apple Maps all had their various issue with map display (none of the maps actually moved/updated as I drove - the map location stayed where it was when I switched to that map app) ... and the touch screen was incredibly unresponsive... I saw the same results whether I was connected via lightning cable, or connected wirelessly.
Hopefully beta 4 will fix it all... but this is exactly what one gets running the betas... clearly a work in progress.

Public Beta for me, CarPlay is hit or miss (mostly miss) with 2019 Jeep Cherokee UCONNECT. At first I thought I figured out a pattern to get it to work all the time, but that pattern is now failing as well. I will try removing the UCONNECT from Bluetooth. I wish I could change the name in Bluetooth, I have two uconnect vehicles, both say "uconnect" on the phone. Which is which...lol
UCONNECT is the worst...beta or not...I avoid it at all cost now when renting cars.
I'm finding CarPlay to be inconsistent. In beta 2 the new album art style with the blurred image in the background with a full color tile to the right of the title worked in both my 2019 RAV4 with an 8" screen and my 2019 Hyundai Kona with a 7" screen. Now in beta 3 the full color title to the right of the title doesn't show in my RAV4 - it's back to the usual blurred art in the background. The Kona screen, however does show the full color tile tile, despite being a smaller screen.

I’ve been using CarPlay for years, but since picking up the GLE I’ve been using the Nav in the car since the augmented reality is cool and the huge screens. Currently, I’m using CarPlay for everything else.
The issue I have right now is that CarPlay doesn’t utilize the whole screen. I’m hoping when MB does an MBUX update it will address it.
