iPhone 16 video not working when connected to apple car play

I recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 16 Pro from a 13 Pro. I do a lot of traveling and enjoy taking video from the dashboard with my iPhone. This was never a problem with the iPhone 13 it would simply cut out the Apple CarPlay and record a video.

However, since getting the Apple iPhone 16 Pro, when I switch it to video mode the cell phone glitches and will not allow me to push record. The only solution is to disconnect it completely from the car radio.

Anyone know how to fix this?

thank you in advance

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

If CarPlay doesn't detect your iPhone, make sure CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If Content & Privacy Restrictions are turned on, tap Allowed Apps and make sure CarPlay is enabled. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, and then tap Forget This Car.

If you're still having trouble with your car's audio system using CarPlay or Bluetooth, try the Aux cable. To get it fixed, there are two options:


  1. Take your car to a reputable car dealer or car audio specialist. They have experienced technicians who can diagnose the problem with the Aux cable. This could be a loose connection, a faulty cable itself, or an issue with the system's Aux port. They'll be able to repair the issue or recommend a replacement cable if needed.
  2. Consult your car's infotainment system manuals. These manuals often include troubleshooting sections that might address common Aux cable problems. You might find instructions for resetting the system, cleaning the Aux port, or confirming the cable's compatibility.


Before taking your car to a dealer, it's always a good idea to check the manuals first. This can sometimes save you time and money if it's a simple fix you can handle yourself. However, if the manuals don't offer a solution, or you're uncomfortable tinkering with the system, then a car audio specialist is the way to go.
