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?

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.

I have a 2022 Accord and just bought and iPhone15, initially wireless CarPlay was working fine. Then today it wouldn’t connect, kept saying no device detected. I removed it from the cars device list and when I added it back, all I could do was link the phone and music, CarPlay wasn’t even an option. It’s just gone. My iPhone 12 didn’t play well with my Honda’s wireless system either. You’d think as major players in their industries, Apple and Honda would be able to work together to ensure a smoother and less aggravating experience while using their products.

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…..

Just received the IPhone 15 Pro and looking for solutions to the USB-C connection to my 2019 Honda Pilot wired CarPlay.

I was told by Apple today that their $19 USB-C to USB adapter would work in that Application. Is that not the case for you?

my IPhone 11Pro worked very well.

it will be troubling if there’s no way to move data using CarPlay.

anxious to hear the experience of others here.
