iPhone 11 Pro can’t play music via usb aux in 2010 Lexus RX

Hello -

my iPhone 11 Pro used to be able to play music when connected to the usb cable to my 2010 Lexus RX aux port. I am running the latest iOS 15.4.1. If I connect my kid’s iPhone 8 which is also running iOS 15.4.1, music plays fine.


Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it? Thank you!

Troubleshooting CarPlay Volume Issues:


A. Successfully "Forget this Device":

Try unpairing the phone. Then, pair it back. Perform this while in while in park.


B. View the Owner's Manual:

See what the Owner's Manual of your car says when you read it.

Thank you for the reply. I should have provided more information. I’m not trying to play music from my phone via Bluetooth - I’m trying to play it through USB connected to the Aux port. I was able to play music this way with my phone before and it hasn’t worked in several months. When I try to plat music now, I get a “No Music” error message from my car. I have tried changing cables but that doesn’t work. The phone does charge when I connect it to the sub cable. I then connected my son’s iPhone8 and music played right away. I have tried restarting my phone, but that didn’t help either.

Check for Firmware Updates:

Plugging it in, I have not issues. I can even put an external drive DVD player or Flash Drive in it through USB, and it plays just fine. So, contact the manufacturer of the CAR, asking them if there are any Firmware Updates for this. Looking at the driver's manual, you might find a method of updating this.
