Senseielo, thanks for the tip, but what we’re trying to say is, the problem needs to be addressed. $50k price tag and not everything works. I never had this issue in my 2020 Grand Cherokee.


The last time I bought an adapter was for my 2009 Altima lol it doesn’t seem to do it with BT, just CarPlay. But I plug my phone in to charge in my way home from work.


Anyway, hardheaded I guess, and I’m glad there is a way to get around the problem, but I probably won’t be spending another $50.

I sent my iPhone 14 ProMax back as the car play will not work the crackling and distorted sound was doing my head and having to keep plugging it in and unplugging it was not good for my lightning port all it does is just lower the lifespan of it having to keep plugging and unplugging it I spoke to Apple and they act like they've never heard of this problem before I just gave up I have no just bought a Samsung watch 5 Pro and a z fold 4 use the Samsung phone today in my van via Android auto and didn't have one problem on a 4-hour journey

I hope you get it fixed mate but I painfully tried for 2 hours on Monday and got nothing off them I needed working carplay for my job as I can drive up to 2 to 3 hours a day one way and for me to having to keep on plugging it and unplugging it it's no good for me


I had the deep purple 512gb I'm sorry but paying £1600 for a phone what doesn't work is a big no trust me it was painful trying to get them to accept the return but when I complained they finally accepted it and I received my refund today it's taking something getting used to the Samsung but up to now it's worked flawlessly And I had a nice smooth drive today without any problems

Apple, are you even listening. You keep providing the same solution to go back and set up CarPlay again. The issue is that wireless CarPlay, newer iPhones, newer cars are unable to make phone calls over CarPlay because the receiving person hears an echo which makes them unable to hear the caller. I have done extensive research on forums to include this one and there is no solution. Changing the carrier settings has not worked, hard restarts have not worked, plugging the phone in using usb has not worked, turning down the volume has not worked. In addition, when playing music over CarPlay there is static and feedback. When I play music through the Amazon app or any other media, there is no static. This is an issue with Apple and CarPlay. PLEASE figure it out and respond to us (not just directing us back to the link on how to set up CarPlay.
