How do I fix wired CarPlay not working on iPhone 16 with iOS 18.5?

Just got the iphone 16 and my wired carplay isn’t working. My phone will charge, but it’s not connecting to play music. Carplay worked fine with my iphone 13 pro max; I don’t remember what its IOS version was, but my iphone 16 is running IOS 18.5. Because my car’s touchscreen doesn’t work anymore, wired carplay is the only way I can play music in my car so this is really upsetting. Considering returning the 16 and keeping my 13 pro max at this point.
