CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro
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.

Someone share on another thread Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0 - Apple Community that privacy restrictions need to be enabled for the CarPlay to work and that resolve the issue for me so do check it initially I thought it might be some major issue with my car infotainment but thanks gods it just a setting that was turned off for the reference my car is Toyota Camry and my iPhone is 16 pro.
I have iphone 16 pro and rexton 2024 model car . The android auto just work fine but when i connect my iphone it doesn't work and the old iphone 13 works fine . I have reset the car and iphone but doesn't work and also change my cable and used box cable as well but no response it just charge the iphone nothing else
Bz4x snd iphobe 16 pro max suddenly. Not working, happened with a previous yoyota snd iphone as well. Both companies pointing fingers at eachother (insert spiderman meme here). About to delete previous phone and reinstall this one.
I have a Volkswagen Tiguan (2019) and Jetta (2018) and could not get my iPhone 16 Max Pro to connect. Based on all the suggestions I found online this is what I did to fix it:
I ordered a usb-a to usb-c data transfer cord. Apparently some charging cords only charge and do not transfer data. 🤷🏻♀️
I went into settings on my iPhone and then Content & Privacy restrictions and turned off CarPlay and turned off my iPhone and switched it back on.
I went into my car and deleted all existing phone connection. Then on my iPhone went into my bluetooth settings, located my car connection and hit “forgot this device”.
I then went into settings on my iPhone and then Content & Privacy restrictions and turned on CarPlay and turned off my iPhone and switched it back on.
I then added my iPhone to my car via Bluetooth first and then plugged my phone in with the cord I purchased and it worked.
Okay, I finally figured it out. If you have a wireless connected CarPlay, you have to unpair from car and from phone, DELETE the wireless connection out of your saved networks under settings-wifi-edit delete the car’s network and then re-pair CarPlay the usual way. Took me all day to figure out!
Another data point. The problem with random disconnects and audio issues seems to be worse when the iHeartRadio app is playing. If I close that app and just use Waze for nav, it seems to stay connected.
I have the same issue with my iPhone 16 Pro. My 15 pro worked fine.
I solved the issue!
screen time>content & privacy information >car play (was disabled)
as soon as I enabled it my car prompted to finish setting up car play and everything showed up again.
I had the same problem with my Honda Accord. All I needed was an Apple USB-C to Lightning adapter for my old cord. This was after I bought a new (non Apple) USB C to USB A cord that didn’t work. The Apple Store salesperson explained that some cords will only charge but not carry data. My Honda’s Car Play prompted me if I wanted to use the new phone with Car Play. Works fine now.
I agree with the comments here. The joy of getting the new iPhone 16 Pro Max was quickly diminished when I plugged in carplay and all I get is static, garbled voices and every other word is dropped. I have tried three different and purchased a new Apple cord and the Apple USB-C to Lightning adapter...which also didn't improve anything. I have spent hours on the phone with AT&T, my provider, I spent two hours in the "Genius" Bar last night and still haven't been helped. Everyone passes the buck and I'm left with a non-operable carplay. I had not one bit of trouble with my 13 Pro...everything is connected to this phone upgrade. I just want a solution.
Today I purchased a few adaptors and cables to try resolve the problem. Fingers crossed one of the above and/or a combination of them will work after I reset the infotainment settings to default. Otherwise, I give up!
all you need is this
Mine didn’t work when I got that wire, music did but not Navi
CarPlay is not work on my 2021 Nissan Rogue since i switched to iPhone 16 ProMax. What do i need to do?
Why? iPhone 16 is USB-C and most cars are USB-A.
This worked for me. Thanks for the information.
I have usb type c car but still not working
