I recently got an aux cord for my car which was from 2005 so it does not have car play. When I plugged it into my car to use I accidentally clicked on headphone mode and now when I try to use the aux it does not play out of the speakers but as it is headphones. Does anyone know how to fix this situation
iPhone 13, iOS 16
To fix the issue where your iPhone is stuck in headphone mode and not playing audio through the car's speakers, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Remove the aux cord from your iPhone and car stereo.
2. Restart your iPhone: Press and hold the power button until you see the "slide to power off" option. Slide to power off, wait for a few seconds, then press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears.
3. Check the headphone jack on your iPhone for any debris or lint. If you see any, gently clean it using a soft brush or a toothpick.
4. Once your iPhone has restarted, reconnect the aux cord to your iPhone and car stereo.
5. Ensure that the volume on your iPhone is turned up and not muted.
6. Try adjusting the volume while the aux cord is connected to see if the audio starts playing through the car's speakers.
7. If the issue persists, you can try plugging and unplugging the aux cord a few times to see if it helps reset the audio output.
8. If none of the above steps work, you can go to Settings on your iPhone, tap on "Sounds & Haptics" or "Sounds & Haptic Feedback," and disable the "Change with Buttons" option. This will prevent the volume buttons from affecting the audio output mode.
If the problem still persists, it's recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance, as there may be an underlying hardware issue causing the problem.
