Aux cable with iPhone 13 pro max

Good morning!


Lately I’ve been having trouble listening to music in my car with my new iPhone 13 pro max . Simply, my aux cable won’t recognize my phone now but I never had trouble with my iPhone previous iPhone (XR).

I don’t seem to know the source of the problem but I know it doesn’t work since the new iOS 15 update.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello Anafrutos.

  4. Check your charging port for any debris or damage. Make sure that your charging cable is properly inserted into the port.
  5. Update your device.

I’m also having the same issue. I read the mentioned instructions but it does not fix the issue. It recognizes older devices but not the IPhone 13. The iPhone 13 is not recognized at all or even shows it’s charging.


I’m very excited for the new phone, but very disappointed this feature of playing music in my car is not working.


Please help further guidance to address this issue.


thank you!!
