iOS 15.1/ music not working

i have had the same issue, but with my 2011 Honda Accord. I can charge my phone, but I get an error message on my car’s screen when I try to play music. This error only started to occur after I updated my iOS software two days ago. I also tried the tips shared below, but it did not work.

I just downloaded 15.2 put my usb cable into the USB port in my car. Hit the aux cd button. It actually didn’t work initially but then a random song started playing on my phone, which I thought was odd. So I then unplugged it and replugged it, next thing I know it said indexing my iPod (which is actually my iPhone) and everything worked like it used too!

I am ALSO having this problem- I really hope apple fixes this because I have not been able to play music through my phone to my car. I thought it was my charger cord so I changed it out and it still didn’t work! My phone will charge but not let me play music and mine started as SOON as I updated my phone. Before this new update I had no problems!!!!

I have a 2015 Cruze that worked fine until IOS update. I do not have other options for my music and map just the USB port. No radio to update or crazy stuff like that. T-Mobile suggestion: upgrade my phone. 😡

No don’t upgrade its not your phone, its the **** new IOS 15.1 update that just came out that literally screwed it up. everyone having the same problem! even me! My phone charges through usb but doesnt play music through it like it use too!!!! I ipdated it at night and it worked yesterday now it doesnt ! im pussed!

I have a 2012 Chevy Cruze and am having the same issue. The system is still able to play music through my ipad which does not have the update. So it seems pretty clear that the issue is the update and it has a bug.

Same here! Right after I upgraded my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 15, I started to have all these problems.. I reset it, used alternate cables, Anker and original.

I did any and everything to try to get it to work, including deleting my phone from car play and reinstalling it. My husband has NOT upgraded his 12 Pro phone to 15, and everything works just fine with his. 😡

It’s definitely IOS 15. I like CarPlay, I miss my music and my great speakers. My car is a 2019 Hyundai Tucson.

Same issue here. 1996 Tacoma with iPhone 12 Pro Max and Alpine IDA-X100 stereo connected via USB using lightning adapter. No music or charging after updating from iOS 14 to iOS 15.1.1. Worked flawlessly in the past as far back as my iPhone 6. Had a friend come over with an iPhone and iPad still running iOS 14 and those work fine. It's clearly an iOS issue.

The potentially good news is I just got off the phone with Apple tech support. They are aware of the issue and hope to have a fix or work-around with the next update.

I also have a Cruz and the same issue is happening since updated to ios 15.1. I am able to charge the phone via connected USB, but no playback on any apps, including zoom calls.

I have tried restarting my phone as recommended and am using the the USB connection as instructed.

Is there any other recommendation that have worked?

But how long will that take?? I had Apple support working with me for over 18 hours, trying to fix a problem with the keychain.

After all that time, and the case being escalated, the last support person, a supervisor, came on the phone and said that “oh yeah, we are of the problems with keychain, and are working on it.” When I asked how long this would take, she just said that technical support was working on it. And if they were aware of it, why didn’t the multiple support technicians have any information about it? It still doesn’t work properly all the time, I have to check each one and Airdrop it to my IPad.

Now if they are trying to fix it in the next upgrade, will they slow down the upgrade because they don’t have a fix? I’m tired of this, I just want my phone to work, and my music to play. My husband didn’t upgrade his phone, and he has no problems. Just no music. 🙁

Did you get a beta version? I dont see it officially released. Im wondering if it only works for newer models of cars. Mine is a 2012 and i had one rep telling me it “wouldnt be supported” — sure. Ill be running out now to get a new car so my phone works? Uhmmm. 😂

This exact thing is happening to me ! 2014 Cruz and it will no longer play my music through usb! So annoying. I have re-paired my device and tried different options of cord and phone settings. The support answer is not a solution. Apple needs to fix the glitch in iOS 15.1

So disappointed Apple! My only work around is to use an actual usb/ aux into the jack of my Chevy Cruze. I can listen to podcasts and music but my phone won’t charge and I can’t use my steering wheel functions.

From what I have heard the new update is only in a beta testing form at this time. I heard it's for 13 series phones only, too. I have an iPhone XR. Anybody have any idea if there's even a snowball's chance in **** of my getting my music back the way it used to be?🥺

Hi Apple support. Thanks for these suggestions but are you sure you read the posts on this thread? This is obviously an iOS update issue. Same thing happened with our Chevy equinox after we updated our phones to 25.1. It would be helpful if you acknowledged this rather than suggesting a bunch of steps that address every malady other than software update.
