Car AUX cord no longer works since update

Since the iOS 15.4.1 update my car’s aux is no longer compatible with my iPhone 12 Pro. When I try to connect it will play for one second and then stops. I’ve already switched on the USB accessory mode and that did not help. I removed any debris and also tried a new aux cord. Nothing seems to help.


How can I resolve this issue?

iPhone 12 Pro

Hello, jmlop3!


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.


When you try and play music using your iPhone 12 Pro while disconnected from your car stereo, are you experiencing any issues? Does the phone work normally otherwise? If so, then it sounds like your stereo may need to be updated to maintain compatibility with your iPhone. To do that, you're going to want to reach out directly to the manufacturer of your automobile or car stereo.


We hope this helps!

My issue is resolved! I got music/podcasts to play again on my car stereo by something another thread recommended by using a USB cord. Hope this helps others!


Go to iTunes

Download a song to your iPhone.

Connect to your car via USB.

Play the song you just download to your iPhone.

Now all other audio should now be compatible. Give it a try.
