Hi Larrysd,
If you are having trouble with your car recognizing your iPhone for CarPlay, you can follow the steps in If you need help with CarPlay:
- "Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo: - If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one. - If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled under Settings > Wi-Fi and Settings > Bluetooth.
- If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.
- Restart your iPhone and your car.
- Make sure that Siri is on.
- If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
- Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
- Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.
Take care.
