mu Apple CarPlay is making a static/crackling sound when playing music. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have a iPhone 13 pro if that matters.
Hi Baileyhubb8,
Thanks for your post to Apple Support Communities. Let's rule out what might be going on to cause the static you hear when playing music through CarPlay.
First, make sure your iOS is fully updated to iOS 15.5. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
Next, 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 still isn't resolved, reply back letting us know if you also hear static when playing music through your iPhone speaker, headphones, or another Bluetooth accessory (speaker, not CarPlay). Also test other audio through CarPlay from your iPhone like phone calls or videos. The goal will be to narrow down what the static is related to.
We look froward to hearing back from you.
Best regards.
Can I ask what specific product you purchased? Went on Amazon and there are so many options so wanted to know which one worked for you.
100% correct Borbonbon. I have upgraded to an iPhone 14 and my car is a 2022 with this crackle. This problem has been going on for many years without any attempt at mitigation from Apple.
15.7.1 or 16? I have the option when updating.
Edit:
Never mind. I noticed you already said which one. Thanks!! Will update tonight!
iPhone X, updated to iOS 16.1, 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn, (11/04/2022) and the problem has not been resolved.
Any update I’m still having this issue they just released an update but it didn’t fix the CarPlay issue
It didn’t help
Same, updated to 16.1.1 and the issue is still there.
That is a workaround not a solution. Apple customers shouldn’t be required to purchase 3rd party adapters to use Apple CarPlay. The issue needs to be addressed.
Mine doesn’t seem to be terribly bad. Just very annoying. And it doesn’t do it all the time, or on every song. I haven’t noticed it all while talking on the phone.
It didn't help me.
Hey There I have a Murano and same exact problem did you ever find a fix?
I haven't gotten a fix. When I went back to the dealer, we updated, reset, and nothing. They blame apple. Apple? Do you hear us?
Like I said, you are one lucky guy!
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Yes. No change unfortunately.
My Apple CarPlay is making a static/crackling sound and I don’t know how to fix it.
