Carplay no longer works

Hi


My Carplay has stopped working. Everytime I plug my phone in it just says "reading usb".


Now I have plugged my sons phone in and that works fine. He is on an older IOS, 15 I think.


I tried his phone with my USB cable so that rules that out.


I have updated the phone to the new 16.2 version but still no luck.


I have also tried the 15 steps to rectify the problem but still no luck.


Anyone find a way around this?


Thanks

Greetings LuckyPabs,


If you are having difficulty with CarPlay, begin by following the guidance found here:


If you need help with CarPlay


"If CarPlay doesn't work like you expect, learn what to do.


First, make sure that your country or region supports CarPlay and that your car supports CarPlay. If you're unsure if your car supports CarPlay, contact the vehicle manufacturer.

Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS. If your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS, follow these steps — checking CarPlay after each step:

  1. 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.
  1. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.
  2. Restart your iPhone and your car. 
  3. Make sure that Siri is on.
  4. 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.
  5. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
  6. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

If you still have issues connecting to CarPlay, contact Apple Support."


Take care.
