We have two identical iphone 14 Pro max phones and have a new 2023 highlander. One phone connects wirelessly to carplay with no problems but the other iphone will only connect to the car's phone and media (via bluetooth) but not to carplay. Have tried all the internet suggestions without success.
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
carplay is not working on my 2024 car. Per Apple the latest update on IOS has a bug that effects all 2024 cars, they are rolling out fixes for each manufacturer but don’t know when they will get them all out, ridiculous
We have no clue what all the internet suggestions might include. Have you done all that Apple suggests in this link --> If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support
Finally got it figured out.
It helps to know that Bluetooth is required to hookup and establish connection to carplay but in reality carplay uses wifi.
Apple websites say to tap the carplay network and make sure auto-join is turned on. Dumb old me kept looking for a wifi network with the name carplay in it. Once I figured out that it is in reality another named network (probably different for every phone and/or car brand) and selected the correct wifi network, it all worked great.
