Hey there kvra,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide some assistance.

If CarPlay is not working, the actions in this article may help resolve the issue:

If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support

"Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:

• If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.
• If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled under Settings > Wi-Fi and Settings > Bluetooth.

1. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.
2. Restart your iPhone and your car. 
3. Make sure that Siri is on.
4. If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
5. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
6. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information."

Keep us posted.

Have a great day!

kvra,

iOS 16.1 just released and may resolve some of the issues you're having: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you still have issues after the update, reach out to Apple directly: Get Support

Take care.

kvra,

Since this issue continues after updating, we would still recommend contacting Apple Support next. They would be the best equipped to investigate this behavior further. Reach out using the link we previously provided or call in at your convenience using the phone number most applicable to you from here: Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers!

My CarPlay was working just fine before the 16.1 update. I updated to 16.1 this morning and now CarPlay does not work. Can't connect through a cable or Bluetooth. This is so frustrating.
