iPhone 14 and CarPlay Issue

When I got my new iPhone 14 and I am listening to music or a podcast in my car via CarPlay, if I then receive a phone call, all audio is routed to my iPhone, not the car. After the phone call my music or podcast will not continue playing via CarPlay - all audio is routed to my phone even though the car display shows Spotify. I must unplug the phone, reconnect it and then I can continue to listen via CarPlay until I get another phone call. My wife can use the same USB cable and plug in her iPhone 10, also using iOS 16.2, and everything works fine - never happed until I got an iPhone 14.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Hello SeattleJerry,


If you need help with CarPlay provides some great steps that can help resolve common issues with CarPlay. We recommend trying each step individually to see if it addresses the behavior you mentioned in your post.


"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 Bluetooth is turned on on your iPhone under Settings > Bluetooth. Then go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and make sure that Wi-Fi is also turned on. Tap the CarPlay network, and check that Auto-Join is turned on.
  1. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display and select it.
  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. If Content & Privacy Restrictions is on, 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."


Cheers!
