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.
