iPhone 15 Pro Max Wired Carplay on Honda Civic 2022 Not Connecting

I bought a USB-C to USB-A cord thinking that it would allow me to connect to Carplay. The car works fine with my old iPhone 11 that uses a lightning to USB-A, but when I connect my new phone iPhone 15 (with USB-C), Carplay doesn't work.


Is this an Apple software issue? I was thinking another solution is to get a lightning adapter for a USB-C connector? Anyone else have this issue?

Guys- none of this is the answer - not the cable, not the adapter, not the software....- i just tried what someone had posted on a different thread and it worked: you need to reboot the infotainment system. Check on line depending on your model how to do so. It was so easy, and all the literally HOURS i wasted.

Apple should know this - prior to sending us to the car dealers to check the firmware, they should suggest as part of their troubleshooting flowchart, RESET THE SYSTEM!

hope it helps

Mine didn’t work either. I used a usb c to usb c with a usb a connector on one end. First, I had to resync my phone with the car (2017 Honda crv), then had to wait until the car’s video system totally loaded before plugging in my phone. Otherwise I would get a charging error message. This seemed to work, but was not totally consistent. Sometimes, I had to stop my car to replug my phone in. Frustrating, I know!

I’ve been dealing with this issue for a few weeks now. If your CarPlay isn’t recognizing your iPhone 15 reset the radio. And it should start working again. Now I bought the suggested anker cable and that fix was short lived. Currently the only thing that is working without me having to keep resetting the radio is the apple lightning to usb c adapter. I hope this helps

I have a 2022 CRV Touring. New iPhone 15 Pro Max will charge on the charge pad, connect via Bluetooth, but there’s a continually flashing “connected device not responding” when the phone is plugged into the smartphone port for Apple Car Play. I’ve tried different cords, a soft reboot of infotainment system, a hard rest of infotainment system, and I’ve ensured that the phone is completely updated. Is this a Honda software fail? Is an update forthcoming? Very frustrated…..

I’ve solved the problem (in my case, anyway.) It’s the cable you’re using to connect the phone to the car. Apparently, all lightning connectors allowed for two kinds of communication - charging and data transfer/sync. Not so with USB - C cords. Many only allow charging. Get a cord that specifically notes that it syncs data (in addition to charging) and presto! No more issues.

We recently bought the iPhone 15 Pro and the 15 Pro Max. We have a 2020 Honda Passport and needed a C cord for the wired Carplay function. I tried going wireless, but was unable to get the Carplay to work. I bought the Apple C to Lightning Adapter at the Apple Store and using my old Apple USB and Lightening cord hooked up the new adaptor. This is an all Apple to Apple hookup. Apple Carplay now works perfectly. The adaptor is not cheap, but we rely on the Carplay navigation in a big city and it was worth it to get our Carplay navigation working properly again.

I’ve been frustrated with this since October. I have a 2019 Honda pilot. My cable worked to charge but not to use CarPlay. I reset as someone suggested but it did not work. I then read that there are certain cables that allow data out, and it could be the cable. So I grabbed the cable that came with the phone, bought a converter usb to c plug for my car, then plugged the cable that came with the phone in and it worked. So Apple cable work to give data out- none of my others did that had a usb to c connection. So either find a converter or a cable that specifically works for this.
