Wired Apple CarPlay disconnecting on 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Wired CarPlay disconnects on my 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid when using my iPhone 13 Pro while I am talking on the phone, listening to Podcasts, etc.


i tried to narrow down the issue by trying a new Apple cable, duplicated the issue with an iPhone 12, used an air compressor to blow out the lightning port on both the iPhone & the USB port on the car, but the issue remains.


When will this issue be fixed??? It’s obviously a problem with many users with different phones and cars models.

Same issue on my 2021rav4, annoying that a $40,000 car with CarPlay worked great but all of the sudden a month or so ago stopped working. There needs to be a recall. It's dangerous having your gps constantly disconnects, fumble to see where you are going.


for me volume up or down adjustment make CarPlay disconnect. When listening to music CarPlay disconnects 3-4 times a song. While using google maps it constantly disconnects.

I got 2020 Rav4 wired connection to USB for apple car play very inconsistent. Can’t even charge my phone. Gone to castle hill Toyota, Toyota Australia all advised change to original cable. Since I bought car I know how many cables I changed including original but issue still remains. Now they advise when it’s not connecting take vehicle to dealer show him right away. I mean Really Toyota don’t want accept there is issue with usb. So now it’s on customers to prove that this issue is happening. Sound bit silly 😛

I have the same issue in my 2020 Toyota Camry. I’ve cleaned the port, gone through several chargers thinking they were the issue, and had it happen with different phones. The issue is in the port. If the cord on the ports side moves at all it disconnects. This happens if the phone is grabbed(while I’m a passenger), if I run over a bump in the road, or even if I have to come to a stop quickly. Things move and my CarPlay gets disconnected. It is so frustrating I hope it gets looked into because it seems like there needs to be a recall on it.
