CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro

same here. Just upgraded and i’m so disappointed I have tried EVERYTHING… i’ve been on the phone with apple support with multiple supervisors for hours and nothing has worked. It will connect for a few seconds and then just suddenly cut out. I even tried some the products people recommended here and so far nothing … I have a 2022 car which is fairly new. My 13 pro max never had a problem before

The ‘Belkin BoostCharge USB C charger cable’ fixed the problem for me. I ordered it on Amazon for like £9. I read somewhere that the iPhone 15 and up need a stronger cable to make CarPlay work. Hope this helps.

nope. I haven’t had luck with anything. My software is up to date and i’ve tried restarting network settings and forgetting my “car” and deleting all my bluetooth connections I even bought a new iphone cable thinking the first one was faulty :/

on my case (2023 Honda CRV) I’ve tried all of what has been recommended. Unfortunately none work. So I kept tinkering, here is what worked for me: got Belkin usb a - usb c from Apple Store (about $30). Turn on Bluetooth, download HondaLink, on honda screen tap smartphone and Apple CarPlay shows up, toggle it. It works for me 😊

I have the answer. I had the same problem, so took my car into Lexus for advice. Apparently, the charging cable is different to a data cable, which also charges the phone. Once I bought a data specific cable, it worked fine. Hope this helps. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D5Y8ZV4V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Which 5 steps?

I am only referring to CarPlay via USB: same 16 Pro Max works in my 2023 Ram but not in my 2019 Mercedes E class. Same legit data cable, tried many cables… older 13 Pro works fine as well. Will try the “allow access” setting, but appreciate the list you refer to… Cheers!

Mercedes folks: I have a 2019 E class that supports CarPlay over USB. I can’t believe I didn’t look for this setting until now, but go to your Mercedes main screen and select Connections and then you should see Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, etc etc. I had to re-enable and reauthorize CarPlay on this screen. Prompts should pop up when you connect the cable to your iPhone 16. First I removed the phone from the Phone menu, and removed the car from the phones Bluetooth settings. No new cables needed, no changes in iPhone settings other than make sure Siri is enabled. Hope this helps.

I had to buy and it works with genuine Samsung adapter if you need to sync with a usb to be able to CarPlay at my local walmart they are 7.88 I think your have to because apple doesn't have a usb-c to usb-A unfortunately

@ailina310. I ungraded my iPhone 11 to a 15 Pro and the 15 Pro would not connect to my Hyundai Santa Fe 3/2018 make with wired Apple Carplay. I recall Apple support telling me that the Apple Engineer new about the problem and that not much can be done.

I ungraded my iPhone 11 to a 15 Pro and the 15 Pro would not connect to my Hyundai Santa Fe 3/2018 make with wired Apple Carplay. The symptoms: it would charge the phone, when connected to the USB A carplay port, carplay would show the ringing and after the call was answered but zero audio. No made or received audio phone calls or verbal maps directions would not come through to Carplay. Did you have the same symptons?

I have the iPhone 16 Pro Max and experienced the same issue. I tried everything to get it working, including purchasing the Apple-branded Type C to Lightning adapter. Initially, it worked fine in my Jeep, but then it started freezing up. I had to unplug and plug it back in to reconnect.

After working with Apple Support, we performed a network reset on the device, and now it's working properly.

Steps to reset the network on your iPhone:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on General.
3. Scroll down and select Transfer or Reset iPhone.
4. Tap on Reset.
5. Choose Reset Network Settings.
6. Enter your passcode if prompted, then confirm the reset.

After the reset, your iPhone will restart, and you should re-enter your Wi-Fi passwords and reconnect to any Bluetooth devices.

Hope this helps someone out

Fixed! 2019 GMC Terrain. iPhone 16 Pro. Was not connecting. Kept saying plug in supported phone to launch Apple car play. And then kept cutting out and black screen. Purchased the Belkin Boost Data cable. And had to do an infotainment reset in the settings of the GMC. Only had to reprogram the radio stations back in. Plugged in the phone and we’re back to normal. Very stressful for awhile. Dealer installed new update and couldn’t get it to work and wanted to install a new infotainment system. 🤔How bout NO… 😬 Goodluck out there. And thank you for the advice in this forum. Hope this helps someone also. 👍🏻

Are the newly released iPhones compatible with wired CarPlay? If this is not the case, I will be returning this iPhone 16e.

Given the company’s rapid decline in market share, I sincerely hope they rectify this issue promptly.

Apple's tech support does not seem to understand the issue. I spent just over 30 minutes on the phone with them, and now the problem appears to be escalated to the technicians. It seems as though Apple is unaware of the situation.

Which one did you get. So many to choose. So frustrating, so many have the same issue yet Apple not put out an update to fix it. I even disconnected my battery on my car to reboot my cars entertainment software 🤣🤦‍♀️
