iPhone 7 changes language and region by itself with CarPlay



iOS 13.5.1 on a iPhone 7 is giving many user issue related to region getting changed automatically. . For some users it happening  everytime connected to CarPlay. The issue is frustrating and unexpected change of region settings from eg Belgium French to US English, together with losing the keyboard settings of iPhone 7. The issue is with CarPlay, if you connect your iPhone to any of the cars like Skoda Octavia, Seat Leon, VW Golf, BMW the iPhone will change the region to some other value. The issue is more frequent on cable connections between car and iPhone.



iPhone 7 changing region is  quite annoying having to change back to my native language every day, as if you start to type a SMS, it will start typing in different language. The issue seems to specific to iPhone 7 and other devices like iPhone 11. iPad does not seems to be affected by this bug.
