I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro to a 16 Pro, and the new phone will not connect to my 2018 Mazda CX-5 with CarPlay. When I plug it in, it charges but makes no sign of connecting.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
I am so disappointed! My new iPhone 16 Pro does not work connect to my Carplay in my Toyota CHR. Had I known this, I would have upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro instead. :(
If you go to settings,screen time, then content and privacy restrictions, turn it on then allow everything. Does that fix it ?
This also worked for me and my 2021 KIA telluride.
Thank you so much! This problem has been driving me crackers since I got my new phone. VW dealership wanted £168 just to diagnose the issue. Now I've solved it with a few clicks .
Your 16 does not use a lightning cable, that was 14 and older phones. You are using a USB-C cable. The EU forced Apple's hand in changing from lightning to C.
I purchased an Anker cable that was recommended in this post and it fixed the problem. The cable charges and does data transfer.
Was that with Bluetooth CarPlay or USB-A to USB-C carplay
What worked for me my 16 and 2019 Audi was to go into WiFi settings on phone, connect to the car wifi and turn on connect automatically.
Can you put the step by step please because I can’t find car play under privacy, it’s not coming up in mine
Didn’t work for me. Settings were already set on
i had same issue w 16e. spent and hour w apple support and tried everything.
but reset network settings worked.
settings>reset or transfer iphone > reset > reset network settings
This worked for me! No more issues.
