iOS 15.1 - Car doesn't recognise my phone as an iPod when plugged into USB

Hi,


Until this update, I used to connect my phone via USB charger to my car and I could listen to my Spotify while I drive (my car used to identify my phone as an iPod).

Now it doesn't register at all.


How can I fix this?


My car doesn't have bluetooth.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

Welcome to Apple Support Communities ilse58,


Thank you for posting! Sounds like you are connecting your iPhone to your car using USB playback and your car is not recognizing your iPhone, do we have that right? If so, you can try the steps in this article: How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car under the section titled "Connect using USB playback" to troubleshoot. Be sure to reach out to your car's manufacture to confirm there are no firmware updates needed for iOS 15 compatibility.


Hope that helps!
