CarPlay Volume adjustment not working

Like a few others, I seem to have an issue with my iPhone 13 Pro Max; when it is connected to CarPlay it often won't allow the volume to be adjusted, using either the volume knob or the steering wheel controls. This issue seems to be linked to the particular phone since iOS 16, as other iPhones are fine (I have tried iPhone SE and 12 both were fine).

Can't adjust audio volume when using CarPlay I just got a 2022 Toyota RAV4 and was super-excited for Apple CarPlay. When connected to my iPhone 13 Mini, I can't adjust the volume of any app that's open. I am able to adjust volume when connected via BT. My wife's iPhone 13 Pro Max works fine when connect and using CarPlay. Any thoughts?

Apple CarPlay guidance volume instead of music volume I’m using Apple CarPlay in a 2017 Honda CRV. This car has a wired CarPlay system. When I try to listen to music on my iPhone it seems like when I first plug it in I can adjust the volume of the music but once i start moving, then that becomes disabled, and when I move the volume knob, it only seems to adjust the guidance volume. And as a sidenote, on this, the audio on the music tends to waver a little bit as well when it starts happening. I have already attempted to restart my phone, but the soft and hard restart. I’ve also unpaired and repaired my phone in the CarPlay settings. None of which seems to of worked. I tried even just switching the orientation of the cable going into my phone to see if that had any impact. Any advice is certainly appreciated. Thank you.

No volume control when playing music via CarPlay Why can we not control the music volume, or when my iphone is connected by CarPlay? The navigation system or car dashboard can not change the volume. The side buttons on my iphone can not change it. The volume controls on my steering wheel can not change it. What is going on?? A lot of people have the same issue! (My phone is up-to-date and I have a new car.)
