CarPlay audio issues on cellular

I have the iPhone 12 ProMax, 2020 Nissan Altima Platinum & 2019 Nissan Murano SL.

There is an audio issue while using cellular in both vehicles. The call audio starts off fine, but within a minute or two into the conversation the sound becomes muffled and incomprehensible. I had my device checked a few times with Apple directly and they found no issues. They even agreed to replace the guts of my phone before the warranty expiration date. After doing so, the issue continues.

I believe the issue to be with CarPlay as I had involved both Apple and my phone provider (Telus), but both investigated and found no issues with their product or network. Through process of elimination, I feel that it is with CarPlay, as when I disconnect the phone from CarPlay the bluetooth sound is clear with no issues.

Anyone else encounter similar issues? How was it resolved?

Thanks!

Hi MarkfromMTL,


We wanted to follow up on a few troubleshooting points from If you need help with CarPlay.


Have you tried another USB cable or another port? We ask because it could possibly be the cable or port. See step one of the resource the community provided you.


1. Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:
- If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.


To follow up on another troubleshooting step, did you have the chance to check your Firmware with the manufacturer? You will ultimately need to get in touch with your stereo or car manufacturer(s). They often have the best advice for their specific product.


7. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.


If the issue remains after reaching out to them then follow the last line of guidance in the resource.


If you still have issues connecting to CarPlay, contact Apple Support.


We hope that helps with your question and take care!
