Apple CarPlay vs Apple iPhone 8 plus

Hello there,

Based on the information from your post, your software should be capable of running CarPlay.

You shouldn’t need an adapter, as the hardware would already be built in the car. You may just have to plug into a different USB port. I have a Toyota Corolla, and only the USB-A port below the AC controls gives me access to CarPlay. It also wouldn’t hurt to try another cable.

I would try updating your software first, as it seems you’re still on iOS 14, iOS 15.0.2 is the most current release.

To help you troubleshoot, here’s an article on how to use CarPlay: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205634

If you’ve verified that your car model does support CarPlay, you may want to contact your car manufacturer for support, as they’ll know best on how to set it up and troubleshoot.

Hope this helps!

That’s alright, the information I provided applies for USB-C as well, I was just mentioning the port that works in my car specifically.

Were you able to verify CarPlay support via the manufacturer website or support?
