CarPlay not work on iPhone 11 Pro max

Hello, Yesterday I purchased an Iphone 11 pro Max and when I connected it to the car (Audi Q7 2017) he didn't want to connect with carplay. I have changed 2 original Apple cables and Carplay is not activated, just charge the phone. I mention that we have changed two original Apple Lighting-USB cables and besides charging the phone does not activate CarPlay.


I reset the MMI machine and still do not connect Carplay. I should mention that before I purchased Iphone 11 Pro Max I owned an Iphone XS and it worked perfectly it connects perfectly to Carplay.


Today I updated Iphone 11 Pro Max to iOS 13.1.2 and there is no difference, APPLE CARPLAY does not connect.


I ask a colleague or an Apple engineer to help me urgently fix the problem because I need Carplay to work on my new phone.


Thank you in advance.

Regads, Mihai

iPhone 11 Pro Max

Was it the iPhone 11 Pro Max? I've seen several others that have reported issues with that phone exactly. I'm hoping iOS 13.4 has a fix in it. Apparently the beta versions work where iOS 13.3 did not.

We have 14 different phones that we test with each vehicle. We always keep the entire Apple lineup for two generations, the rest are Android.


90% of the time the beta works is because the car will generate a new Bluetooth profile for the phone, thereby not using the broken profile. Removing the broken profiles by factory resetting the navigation and removing the car from the phone is the correct way to resolve the issue. You shouldn't run a beta unless you're a developer. Most people don't have any correct backup strategy and risk losing a lot of information.

I switched from iPhone 10s max to iPhone 11 Pro Max and CarPlay doesn’t work in my 2018 Nissan Murano the 10s worked flawlessly before switching to the 11 pro max. This is unacceptable and needs to fixed immediately. And I tried all of the work arounds on the forums and Internet. And it’s not just me it’s anyone who purchased the iPhone 11 and try to use CarPlay...it doesn’t connect and will boot loop or it does connect and is sluggish/slow or my favorite is it will connect for a minute or 2 and your music becomes choppy and unlistenable. Please get this fixed I love using CarPlay and don’t want to return the phone.



Also my 11 seems to connect around 90-95% on 13.2.2 beta with the battery 100% ...when the battery is not 100% I get a 50/50 chance of connecting. It’s has to be something with the way the 11 charges. This is a joke that we’re Guinea pigs for Apple.

I have the same issue with my 2018 Nissan Murano. It worked with my old 6s, a 7 and a X but not my 11 Pro. I spent 3 hrs on on the phone with Apple Tech support trying a lot of different things. They had me load tech profiles download the data to Apple. We tried 3 different cables. I then went to the Genius bar at apple and spent another hour trying functions out. They did give me a new 11 Pro, we reset it to be new with IOS 13.0 and it still did not work. I then updated the phone is stages and it still didn't work. I tested Carplay with each software update to the newest 13.2.2. Still a problem. It is now worse. It used to be intermittent, I might have to unplug and replug the USB cable 5 or 6 times then it would work. Now after about 3 time it comes up with the error of No USB devise connected.


I also contacted Nissan and have a Case Number for them to look into it but that is not going well either.

Hey man, I think the problem solved. I just came back from a dealership. I tried to connect a 2018 Murano which is brand new in their showroom, but failed. Then, I plugged in a 2019 Murano, it worked, and I tested the CarPlay in 2019 Murano for few minutes. Now, when I plugged in my 2018 Altima, it works perfect.


So, u can try plugging ur iPhone in some 2019 or 2020 models, test few minutes and try ur own car.

When the battery is low, it tries to connect a few then is just say No USB device connected. I have tried may cable configurations, and no luck.

It always works if the phone is 97 to 100% charged.

Very rarely if the charge was low It worked if I connected un-connected and reconnected many times. I did a Chat with Nissan Monday 1/6/20 and they said the Iphone 11 did not show on their Comparability List. I am really frustrated.

Hi all, I posted earlier about my issues with iPhone 11 Pro and Nissan Leaf CarPlay. I noticed that it’s almost like the regular USB Cable chokes on data transfer rate. I discussed this with an iOT engineer and he mentioned that USB C power option that 11 pro has changed the logic on lightning pins. This is fundamental problem. APPLE NEEDS TO FIND A **** SOLUTION!!

BTW, I also noticed with several trials that when you close all apps, it works for some time then starts skipping again.


please keep reporting to Apple using the feedback form.

Awesome for your success, I did the update and with my 2018 Nissan Murano, the the communication issue is still there. From all the evaluations that I have done, the only consistent finding is that if the Phone is 100% charged, there are no issues. but 90% or less and it is hit or miss with a lot more misses. Thanks for the post about trying the newest update.

My 2018 Chevy Cruze and 2017 Porsche Macan both have Apple CarPlay. Neither work with my iPhone 11 Pro. Read the thread and signed up for beta. 13.4.2 Beta (17E5233g) did not fix my problem with both cars. Neither recognize the phone. Porsche just thinks its a iPod. Chevy does not recognize the phone through usb, but iPhone lets me connect the car in the CarPlay menu but nothing happens. Car settings are correct. I am using two different genuine apple thunderbolt cables (non-usb c). Really wish this feature worked...

I just upgraded my iphone X to iphone 11 Pro. I am also having similar issue expressed here with carplay with USB cable plugged in. Carplay works for few min on my Nissan Leaf and then the skipping starts. The response from Carplay app on screen becomes very sluggish, almost like data transfer is choking. music, wifi calls, sound from youtube or anything starts skipping.

This is extremely frustrating. I tried resetting settings, upgrading to latest iOS (13.2.2) etc, but nothing seems to work.

I have to take lot of conference calls for work and thus have to use phone speaker now. Then i found out that the speaker quality is for sh*t on iphone 11 pro. I tried the same call on my wife's XR and the speaker was great..
