CarPlay

That happened to me, too. iPhone 13 Pro. Very strange that it ships with iOS 15 and then tells you that there’s an update to iOS 15.

CarPlay is totally broken for me, via USB connection on a 2019 RAV4. It worked great with an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 15, but with the new phone, it won’t work at all. The EQ fix doesn’t apply to me because I never enabled EQ, and double-checked that it wasn’t on.

CarPlay is one of the most important things on my phone, and it being broken really sucks. I hope a fix is released soon.

I went out to the car this morning to try a couple of the fixes suggested, plugged the phone into the USB cable and... Carplay worked just fine. Mysterious.

I'm glad it's working, and I hope it keeps working, but I'd really like to know why. I wonder if Toyota pushed a software update? But all I can do is wonder, because the "update history" page in the car's software menu that's supposed to tell me when updates were applied is blank.

Spoke too soon. Still having problems but I have more info. If my phone is unlocked, and nothing attempts to play any audio, then I can get CarPlay to stay open. If the phone is locked, it won’t work. If any audio plays, it crashes immediately. So I can have maps as long as I don’t listen to anything :(

Mine was already off to begin with. Tried turning off the phone and turning it on again and nothing. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my music apps…nothing. Clearly this is not an issue with the EQ thing because in other threads, people do that and it still doesn’t work. This is an iOS 15 & 15.0.1 issue that needs to be fixed ASAP so that Apple users can actually enjoy the services we pay for. We pay for Apple Music, Amazon Music and so much more and we can’t even use them in our cars!

12 here! Having the same issue. I turned of EQ and still have the issue. I can only get it to work if connected via Bluetooth. CarPlay itself will not work by plugging in via USB. I wish Apple would fix this already! I think it’s an iOS 15 issue. It clearly didn’t fix with 15.0.01.

I’m having the same problem, I don’t think it’s an iPhone 13 problem I think it’s an iOS 15 problem, I have an iPhone 12 and I recently updated to 15.1 like 3 days ago and my car just doesn’t play audio anymore but it was literally working MUNUTES before I updated. And none of the fixes have worked for me, I tried turning EQ on and off, nothing, I purchased THREE different songs on iTunes to see if that would work, nothing. And I’ve been reset my phone and nothing has worked, I hope apple release a fix for this because I have no idea what causing it.

Same issue here since installing latest iOS.

Phone : iPhone X running iOS 15.0.1

Car : VW Passat 2018

I don’t have a 13 personally but I saw that doing this might fix the issue. I have a 12 Pro and when I updated to iOS 15, this exact thing happened so I tried this and it still won’t work. Articles keep saying it’s an issue with only iPhone 13 but I believe it’s an issue with iOS 15.

My wife and I both have Apple XR phones. We upgraded to IOS 15. We live in South Africa and she drives a VW T-Cross an I drive a VW Amarok.

The Carplay App has completely stopped working. And doesn’t even boot when we plug our phones in. It just states "reading USB" and then freezes.

Has anyone actually had the turn EQ off work around help? I have a Acura and this did nothing for me as it wasn't even turned on. To satisfy Apple, I turned it on then back off. nope... no help.

When Carplay starts to load, it freezes my infotainment system. no sounds. no changes. just locked tight. unplug the phone, everything works fine. plug phone back into the USB, Carplay starts up and freezes system again.

just completed a 1k road trip and talk about being an annoying thing to deal with.... geez...

IOS 15.0.1 updated 10/5/21 - no help.

It seems this is a large scale issue. It would be nice if Apple would acknowledge the issue and let us know what is being done to remedy it. It’s clearly not just an iPhone 13 issue. It’s an iOS 15 and 15.1 issue that needs resolving ASAP. I’m due for an upgrade with my carrier and I’m pretty dang close to switching to an Android if they don’t let us know what is going on and when we can expect to see this fixed.

iPhone 13 does not play music or have navigation with Car Play totally unavailable I have to turn everything off and only listen to sound out of phone speakers and map on phone even in auxiliary mode. Totally SUCKS!!

I have an 11 Pro and the same issues are happening with my Car Play, as of 4 days ago. I haven't updated to ios 15 yet and my EQ is turned off. There's something else going on here. My screen went completely black the other day, and now I can't access Car Play at all. :(.

It also happen on the XR

Have iphone se 2020. Since ios15 my pioneer carplay randomly crashes
