I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro to a 16 Pro, and the new phone will not connect to my 2018 Mazda CX-5 with CarPlay. When I plug it in, it charges but makes no sign of connecting.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
After trying several of the suggestions here I got the cord you suggested and it works without a problem. Thank you.
I solved the issue buying a new cord USB C on Amazon $8 for 2 cords!
Thanks for saving me the crash out. the husky brand usb to type C charger for their flashlights communicates too i found out.
Thank you!
We just spent 2 hours troubleshooting and …. It was the cable. It works fine now. 🤦♀️
I changed to the recommended mophie cord ( since apple does not make a USB-USBC, and periodically have the problem because the USB-C does not click in the way the prior apple connector did.
Where do I find this setting?
Where do I find details about th recommended cord?

In such error cases, the factory releases updates for all vehicles. There is no update available at the moment.
Get in your car. Open your phone from your car display. ‘Add phone’
Go to your phone. Go to Bluetooth. Mine said ‘Car Multimedia’. Hit that. It should sync!
Did not work for me. Still get “USB ERROR.”
Go to settings
general
Transfer or reset
reset
try your CarPlay again 👍
I am disappointed too. My iphone16 will not engage CarPlay on my 2022 car. Can Apple design a patch or work on this?
I tried this and it literally did nothing to help me.
