CarPlay

I have an iPhone 13 Pro running the latest version of iOS 15. I have a 2019 RAV4 that runs CarPlay via plugging my phone into the USB port.


When I plug my phone into my car, CarPlay starts as normal. All CarPlay features run as normal except two things. First: when trying to play music through Apple Music, CarPlay will crash and CarPlay will restart. Second: when making a phone call, the call will work as normal until I end the call. When I end the call, CarPlay will crash and CarPlay will restart.


Is anyone else experiencing this issue with their iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 15?


This wasn’t happening with my iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 15.


(Disclaimer: I am not a developer and both phones are running public released iOS 15)

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hi,

Having the same problem:


Vehicle: 2021 Toyota Corolla SE 6MT

Phone: iPhone 13

iOS Version: 15.0


Issue:

When connecting via carplay, carplay crashes when trying to play music either via apple music, locally stored music (synced from itunes) or via an third-party app (Pandora was test as well as a local stations streaming app).


Another person discovered disabling the EQ feature in the iphone stopped the crashing and allowed all of the above mentioned items to work correctly.

The setting in question is:

Settings -> Music -> EQ

I had this set to Late Night. Setting this to off is the only option in the list that allows carplay to function properly.


Additionally, since the iOS 15 update, when my phone is connected via carplay, the display in my cars response time to taps has slowed significantly. When my phone is disconnected from carplay this issue subsides.


None of the above issues occur when the phone is connected via Bluetooth only.

I also just got an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Transferred from an11 Pro Max that was on iOS 15 and CarPlay was working fine.

Plug in the 13 and CarPlay starts, then quits. Removing the car from CarPlay and resetting it didn't help. EQ setting has been OFF for years, so that's not going to help.

Just reset all setting on the 13 and will check in the morning if that helps get CarPlay working properly.


Using it on a 2019 Honda CRV. Was flawless before with every iPhone and iOS upgrades.


But I did notice that the phone arrived saying it had iOS 15, but the Software Upgrade indicated that iOS 15 was available, so I ran the updater again.
