SharePlay in Apple CarPlay not working

No issues with Apple CarPlay, but my son can’t get the SharePlay to work.


When he scans the QR code he gets an error message. “Feature Unavailable. This feature is currently Unavailable for your account”

He has a iPhone 14 and up to date. My wife also has a iPhone 14 and has no issues.

Had the same issue. Got it to work by having Apple Music open on both phones before CarPlay connected. Had passenger try and join SharePlay then on my phone I opened the now playing and there was a 1 beside the SharePlay icon, tapped the SharePlay icon hit the green check mark and it worked.


Best of luck!

Doesn’t work here too. And my wife’s phone doesn’t work correctly — it will connect but only allows her to control via Apple Music on browser (not in app). And then doesn’t remember her the next time I connect CarPlay, so she has to scan the code every single time. Feature seems like it’s not ready for prime time.
