CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro

I ungraded my iPhone 11 to a 15 Pro and the 15 Pro would not connect to my Hyundai Santa Fe 3/2018 make with wired Apple Carplay. The symptoms: it would charge the phone, when connected to the USB A carplay port, carplay would show the ringing and after the call was answered but zero audio. No made or received audio phone calls or verbal maps directions would not come through to Carplay. Did you have the same symptons?

Fixed! 2019 GMC Terrain. iPhone 16 Pro. Was not connecting. Kept saying plug in supported phone to launch Apple car play. And then kept cutting out and black screen. Purchased the Belkin Boost Data cable. And had to do an infotainment reset in the settings of the GMC. Only had to reprogram the radio stations back in. Plugged in the phone and we’re back to normal. Very stressful for awhile. Dealer installed new update and couldn’t get it to work and wanted to install a new infotainment system. 🤔How bout NO… 😬 Goodluck out there. And thank you for the advice in this forum. Hope this helps someone also. 👍🏻

Are the newly released iPhones compatible with wired CarPlay? If this is not the case, I will be returning this iPhone 16e.

Given the company’s rapid decline in market share, I sincerely hope they rectify this issue promptly.

Apple's tech support does not seem to understand the issue. I spent just over 30 minutes on the phone with them, and now the problem appears to be escalated to the technicians. It seems as though Apple is unaware of the situation.

Which one did you get. So many to choose. So frustrating, so many have the same issue yet Apple not put out an update to fix it. I even disconnected my battery on my car to reboot my cars entertainment software 🤣🤦‍♀️

it was working totally fine with iPhone 13 with the wired CarPlay connection and not anymore when I upgraded to 16 Pro, my issue was it went on and off I couldn’t replicate the issue, it was completely fine in the morning for the first time connected and couldn’t change not CarPlay in the afternoon. I was using the USB A to C adapter to connect my type C cable, anyone has the same issue?

How do you tell it to do carplay and handsfree? As in through Siri? I have the Pioneer headunit and my Iphone 13 never had any issues connecting wireless. I upgraded to Iphone 16 and it won't connect at all!

Upgraded to IPhone 16 and it wouldn’t let the messages part of CarPlay show up. If you are running a VPN, turn it off. Once I did this, messages loaded. My VPN was running through a security app (Kinetic Secure).

I think it has to do with ios 18 updates, the introduction of apple intelligence and how that affects default siri configuration. For me resetting everything in the car, removing the car from 'my cars' in carplay, and then turning off apple intelligence and manually enabling siri, solved the issue.

I couldn't connect my new iPhone 16 Pro Max to my 2024 Prado. I spent nearly an hour on the settings in the car and the phone.

Then. Light bulb moment!

I swapped the cable for a new Belkin BoostCharge USB A to C cable and everything workled.

The cable I had been trying was a charge only cable.!!!!!

yea is this just not supported? see no mention of carplay in the tech specs

iPhone 16e - Technical Specifications - Apple

very cringe by apple.

all you need is this

Mine didn’t work when I got that wire, music did but not Navi

CarPlay is not work on my 2021 Nissan Rogue since i switched to iPhone 16 ProMax. What do i need to do?

Why? iPhone 16 is USB-C and most cars are USB-A.
