Recent Update cancelled aux/headphone cable connection

My vehicle's aux input is the only way to play my iphone audio for applications that I use for music and navigation. I have the Apple-made adapter that plugs lightening end into the iPhone and has a aux/headphone jack input on the other end. I have been successfully using this with all of my iPhones, including this iPhone 11.


Suddenly, when I try to use it, it is not switching the audio and instead continues to play through the iPhone's internal speakers. The car stereo shows the cable is connected, and goes silent in anticipation of incoming audio.


I tried searching in the iPhone settings for "input," "audio," but I have had no luck finding where I can locate the audio output options. Resetting my phone is not an option, as I do not have time to look up usernames and make new passwords for dozens of websites and apps.



iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello AppleCursed,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help so you can play music in your car again from your iPhone.

Make sure you're taking these steps to ensure they are connected:

"Connect using USB playback

  1. Restart your device and your car.
  2. Make sure that your device is unlocked and on the Home screen.
  3. If possible, try to connect using another cable or USB port. Check the manual that came with your car to learn how to connect an Apple device.
  4. Check your charging port for any debris or damage. Make sure that your charging cable is properly inserted into the port.
  5. Update your device.
  6. Make sure that your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.
  7. Try playing audio from a different app. If you can't play audio from a third-party app, contact the app developer for help. If you can't play audio from an Apple app, contact Apple Support."

This Apple Support page has the full details: How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car - Apple Support


We hope this helps to resolve the issue so your iPhone is able to connect via the aux on your car again.

Cheers!
