Connecting CarPlay to my iPhone

Thanks for clarifying your question. I understand it better now. I am assuming that you were connecting to CarPlay successfully in the past with the same iPhone. Can you check to see whether you have iOS version 15.1 installed or not? Open Settings ➔ General ➔ About ➔ Software Version.

Finally, Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

• Press and quickly release Volume UP button
• Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
• Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).

CarPlay is not an app on your iPhone. CarPlay is automatically activated when your iPhone is connected to a CarPlay compatible car/auto.
