CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro

How did you know or find out about this adapter cable for apple car play ? Was this suggested by Apple support?

Get a CarPlay cable from Amazon, they are made for IPhone 15 and 16.

I had the same problem on Mazda 2019 bp. iPhone 15 worked on a data cable (non-original), but not iPhone 16. Okay…I tried: 1) Turn on/off privacy. Restart the device, forget the device. Didn't help me. 2) I went to the settings of the auto-connection settings - Smartphone connection settings - Car play settings. And I saw that the new device SE Milord 16 - always off. I clicked next - connection status - always on. And yes!!! It worked.From Ru with love.

P.s I have no idea why the photo loaded like that, although I took it in the normal position.

After having read another 100 or so articles on this issue, these 5 steps have finally resolved the connection problem for me. Thank you so much!

I’m going see if I can take it back. I want Google Maps on the big screen. It’s safer.

i dont see that option on my 16e. ive looked in every option in settings.

i upgraded from 12 to 16 pro and can’t connect to car play yet my daughter can on my car

There is no way you could have known in advance… If the CarPlay implementation in the Toyota CHR is sufficiently old, and though it may have worked with your iPhone 12, there is no assurance that it would have worked with an iPhone 15 Pro either.

Verify with the Toyota service department that no outstanding CarPlay update is available for your vehicle, and then review the owner's manual to confirm you are doing everything correctly to pair the iPhone 16 with your vehicle. What I mentioned above about the lack of multi-link BlueTooth may also be an issue where you cannot have the phone paired to two separate Bluetooth connections in the vehicle.

I have iphone 16 pro and rexton 2024 model car . The android auto just work fine but when i connect my iphone it doesn't work and the old iphone 13 works fine . I have reset the car and iphone but doesn't work and also change my cable and used box cable as well but no response it just charge the iphone nothing else

Bz4x snd iphobe 16 pro max suddenly. Not working, happened with a previous yoyota snd iphone as well. Both companies pointing fingers at eachother (insert spiderman meme here). About to delete previous phone and reinstall this one.

I have a Volkswagen Tiguan (2019) and Jetta (2018) and could not get my iPhone 16 Max Pro to connect. Based on all the suggestions I found online this is what I did to fix it:

I ordered a usb-a to usb-c data transfer cord. Apparently some charging cords only charge and do not transfer data. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I went into settings on my iPhone and then Content & Privacy restrictions and turned off CarPlay and turned off my iPhone and switched it back on.

I went into my car and deleted all existing phone connection. Then on my iPhone went into my bluetooth settings, located my car connection and hit “forgot this device”.

I then went into settings on my iPhone and then Content & Privacy restrictions and turned on CarPlay and turned off my iPhone and switched it back on.

I then added my iPhone to my car via Bluetooth first and then plugged my phone in with the cord I purchased and it worked.

Okay, I finally figured it out. If you have a wireless connected CarPlay, you have to unpair from car and from phone, DELETE the wireless connection out of your saved networks under settings-wifi-edit delete the car’s network and then re-pair CarPlay the usual way. Took me all day to figure out!

I have the same issue with my iPhone 16 Pro. My 15 pro worked fine.

I solved the issue!

screen time>content & privacy information >car play (was disabled)

as soon as I enabled it my car prompted to finish setting up car play and everything showed up again.

I had the same problem with my Honda Accord. All I needed was an Apple USB-C to Lightning adapter for my old cord. This was after I bought a new (non Apple) USB C to USB A cord that didn’t work. The Apple Store salesperson explained that some cords will only charge but not carry data. My Honda’s Car Play prompted me if I wanted to use the new phone with Car Play. Works fine now.
