Music not Playing with USB in car anymore

Before iOS16.2 whenever I plugged my iphone 13 into my car via USB, the radio would detect the iphone as media and I could play anything on the phone, just using a lightning-usb cable into car's usb port.

After the update to iOS16.2, this is not possible anymore. The iphone is recognizes, as it is charging, but the USB data does not work and I cannot hear any music thru it. If i try my husband's iPhone (which is not updates to iOS16.2 yet) the USB works fine and we can hear music through it.

I plug my iphone in, it starts to charge, but the radio no longer detects the phone for music.

Apple needs to fix this ASAP because for my POV they will not give me another car.

It sounds like you're having trouble playing music from your iPhone when connected through USB to your car. We can help.

We suggest updating to iOS 16.4.1 and then checking to see if there is a software update available for your vehicle. These steps are included in the resource below:

How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car.

1. Restart your device and your car.

2. Make sure that your device is unlocked and on the Home screen.

3. If possible, try to connect using another cable or USB port. Check the manual that came with your car to learn how to connect an Apple device.

4. Check your charging port for any debris or damage. Make sure that your charging cable is properly inserted into the port.

5. Update your device.

6. Make sure that your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

7. Try playing audio from a different app. If you can't play audio from a third-party app, contact the app developer for help. If you can't play audio from an Apple app, contact Apple Support: Get Support

Hope that helps.

Take care.
