So since I did the iOS 17 update, CarPlay no longer works. I have reset the settings on my phone, my car, went through every step I found online and I have installed the most recent bug fix. So I am at a loss and I am assuming when my iPhone 15 Pro Max gets here today that I will still have the problem
Current phone: iPhone 14 Pro Max
Car 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid
Greetings Erklee102381,
To ensure that you're covering all the bases, the following steps may be able to provide you with some additional assistance:
"Check your wired or wireless connection and your iPhone settings
If your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS, follow these steps—checking CarPlay after each step:
2. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display and select it.
3. Restart your iPhone and your car.
5. 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.
6. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
7. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.
If you still have issues connecting to CarPlay, contact Apple Support.
Connect your iPhone with a USB-C connector to CarPlay with the USB-C to Lightning Adapter
You can use the USB-C to Lightning Adapter with wired CarPlay in most vehicles. However, some combinations of adapters, cables, and vehicle entertainment systems might disrupt the wired CarPlay connection. In this situation or for cars that support only wired CarPlay, use a direct connection with a USB cable.

Take care.
I am using CarPlay for many years now and haven't had any issues until now(iOS17). Recent years I had several cars and haven't updated their head unit system, CarPlay work just fine on every iOS. I had also rented many cars while traveling abroad with no issues.
For sure, it’s an iOS issue now, it seems only Apple can resolve this bug. don't go blame your car manufacturers or your iPhone configuration, it’s a waste of energy.
Hopefully Apple is working on this fix, they haven’t release any official comment as far as I am aware of.
I have 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and I have Iphone 14 with 17.2.1 iOS. I had to replace my cables twice and still it wont connect. The cable is connected to the Subaru in the central console. Its been going in and out. What should I do??
Your experience actually pretty definitively proves it's Lexus that's at fault, or it would be broken on all of their head ends.
The fact that it's broken on some of them shows that Lexus could fix the issue on all of them.
Apple puts out guidelines as to what new versions of iOS will bring, it's up to third parties to follow them.
I have a BMW 340i and am having the same issues. I did reboot the infotainment system in my car and reset all connections but no luck. My wife’s iPhone with an older iOS version can use CarPlay. My phone connects to the car’s Bluetooth, but can’t launch CarPlay 😡😡. How long does Apple typically take to go through all their major and minor screwups when they launch a neo version of their most important software?
There are no "screwups" as you assert, but rather BMW or their supplier did not code their software properly in their automotive head end.
Were it Apple's fault no one's CarPlay would work, and that's not the case here.
I would recommend contacting your BMW dealer and asking if they have any updates for your vehicle.
This is a ridiculous response.

I have a Mercedes-Benz GLE from 2021 and just changed my iPhone to 15 Pro Max. I am using iOS 17 and the MB UX does not recognise the device. I have been using Apple Cable USB-C to USB-C provided at purchase, and also tested it with multiple other cables. None seem to work.
Has anyone found a real fix for this?
Again: iPhone15 Pro Max with iOS 17, and MB UX.
I’m driving a 2023 Toyota CHR and got the exact same issues ‘Siri sending messages as though it’s listened to itself ‘what do you want?’’. Can’t verbally search for anything on maps as Siri gets very confused.
This all started when I upgraded my phone.
I wish I would have looked this up PRIOR to updating the software! Now my iPhone 14 Pro won’t connect with my 2020 Subaru Ascent. I didn’t realize it until I was driving down a mountain road and trying to answer my work messages via CarPlay. Now whenever I get in my car, my Meditation Music starts playing, not a good thing to listen to while driving curvy mountain roads, and I can’t stop it as it doesn’t show up as playing on my phone. I have reset everything and disconnected and reconnected and tried different cords. I disconnected the Bluetooth from the car, but now I’m having to look at my phone for the Maps while driving. I guess I got spoiled having it on my dash! I hope Apple comes up with a solution soon!!
I updated my iPhone 14 to iOS 17.3.1
and my Apple CarPlay no longer work with my 2022 Highlander CarPlay screen, a totally loss. Apple please do something!!!
Apple, please help your loyal customer. 🙏🙏🙏
Check to see whether Toyota has released any newer updates for your automotive entertainment system; there are lots of complaints online about the latest Ascent software update breaking operation with CarPlay and Android Auto.
No one from Apple is reading your posts here, but you can leave a remark here if you choose:
You can contact your Subaru dealer to see if they have a fix.
It isn't just CarPlay; an Internet search will show lots of similar issues with Android Auto.

I have also tried everything with no success!!! We have a ford Everest, I brought a new phone thinking the old one was the issues unfortunately I continue to have the same issue with the new phone and apple play, very disappointed to say the least
Ford will need to fix their issue.
If you do an Internet search you'll see many Android owners complaining of the same issues.
Meanwhile all I can suggest is following Ford's suggestions.
What do I do if I am having issues with Apple CarPlay® in my Ford?
Have you had any luck this ? I'm in an identical situation to you- same phone & 2023 Lexus. Neither Apple nor Lexus are helpful. I have an NX & think 17 is not compatible with its software. Staff meat local Lexus had this issue with 17 but it was sorted with some of the updates. They drive UX and IS. When they connected their phones with my NX it went back to not working. Going crazy with this!
