I'm testing out adding CarPlay support to my app and had a lot of trouble getting the CarPlay simulator(the one accessible through I/O->External Displays->CarPlay from the simulator app) to respond to any touches.

At first I thought it was a problem with my app, but then I erased all contents and settings, turned on car play, and attempted to even interact with the default view to no avail. Throughout the morning it's worked on and off so something is not right here.

Xcode 14.2, iOS 16.2. As you can see from the screenshot there are no other apps installed.

How about updating the Xcode version, changing the iOS simulator version, or recreating a new simulator?

Try using the CarPlay Simulator from the additional tools of Xcode, which is available here

On iPhone simulator I moved my app to the background, because I was in Settings. Then I quit the CarPlay window (red dot), and relaunched it again from I/O -> External Displays -> CarPlay; The iPhone screen has been locked, and now the CarPlay is working;
