No Music Through USB

I have a 2011 Chevy Equinox. My Apple Music isn't playing and I think it has something to with this new update. It's been fine for years being played through USB, but the very next day after I updated to 15.1.1 my phone hasn't played music. The USB do charge phone, just no music.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Hi there tamekia211,


We understand you're unable to play music via USB with your car.


First, confirm you're connecting your iPhone to the car with a known-good Apple cable.


Also, check if you see any songs listed in Settings > General > About > Songs.


Finally, try downloading music from your purchased section of iTunes and see if that plays as expected: Redownload music


We hope this helps.

Same! No issues for years, and all the sudden a few days ago it just stopped working. Have tried multiple genuine Apple cables, resetting all devices and connections and still no change. My phone is charging so the cable is working but I am getting an “unsupported ver” blinking message on dashboard (Honda, Crosstour). This is new.
