iPhone 16 doesn't support wired carplay in 2022 Ford Mustang Ecoboost

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 16 and can no longer use car play in my Ecoboost that is equipped with Sync 3. My new phone will maintain a connection for a few seconds and then disconnect. From what I understand the USB-C optimizes fast charging and the USB in my Ecoboost is meant for data transfer to enable carplay, not fast charging or really charging in general. I tried a bunch of different wires that prioritize data transfer over charging but nothing holds a connection. Any iPhone that used the old apple charging port works fine. Let me know if anyone else has run into this issue/has a solution.


iPhone 16, iOS 18
