iOS 15 - USB Car Connection

I have the iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 15 installed and since the recent update I haven’t been able to play music via USB cable to my Hyundai Sonata. It was working with my iPhone 11 Pro which also had iOS 15 installed and only has become an issue since having the iPhone 13 Pro. The cable will charge the iPhone and does recognize the phone is connected and displays the music file being played but there is no audio whatsoever. I checked for any update for my car system and it is up to date and I also tried connecting to my other car - Dodge Journey and it did the exact same thing. The phone will play music via Bluetooth so it isn’t a huge problem, more of an annoyance but I still welcome any thoughts or suggestions on a fix for this. 80 % of the music on my phone has been downloaded as I read somewhere that not having any music downloaded could cause an issue where the car doesn’t recognize the iPhone as an “iPod”. I also tried it with other music apps other than Apple Music and still the same issue. It feels like there is some issue with either the phone or iOS.

It seems like iOS 15.2 fixed the issue. I installed the update then removed my car from the Bluetooth memory, re-connected it and bam…problem sorted! Took Apple long enough to resolve it but iOS 15.2 has some pretty sweet security updates on a side note.

I removed Bluetooth and reconnected and still nothing. I tried my husbands phone and his does not work either. Aux works but not usb. I have tried everything. Do not know what to do next. Ideas?

I’ll have to try again. I have an I phone 11 as well. I don’t know. I want a miracle as well. Thank you for your input.

Hey there,

Thanks for responding and there is some good news. Since Apple released iOS 15.0.2 the issue has resolved itself. I didn’t have to do anything funnily enough other than plug my phone in and bam, problem sorted. The only suggestion I will make is this…update your phone to iOS 15.0.2 and then delete your car from your Bluetooth memory and set it up again from scratch. In the past with other devices not connecting via Bluetooth on various different devices/brands doing that has solved a connection issue.

Fingers crossed for you.
