Apple Car Play stopped working this week As I was driving, the map on my dashboard went out and there was a message to connect an iPhone to the USB port. I received a notification that a Software update to my iPhone, version 15.2.1 would fix bugs so that Apple Car Play would work better. I downloaded the updated IOS. Still getting the error message and have an appointment with Volkswagen but I really don't think it is a faulty USB port. I think the phone isn't being recognized.

USB and iPhone XR I have a iPhone xr with iOS 15.3 installed and I have a Sony CDX-GT54UIW head unit when I plug the iPhone in I get a error msg " no USB device inserted" I have boung new lightning cords and nothing. The phone charges when plugged in but no music / you tube et cetera As this is an iphone/ipod controller unit there should be no issue the USB will play if a thumb drive is inserted the phone works when connected to wired headphones but will not when I pluf in my phone. The owners manual for head unit state iPhone and controls appear automaticly when phone is inserted apple states there's a bug on there end and 15.3 should have fixed the issue... I can't stream my music now and it's frustrating anyone got anything for me to fix this issue?

If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display. Restart your iPhone and your car. Make sure that Siri is on. ... Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
