iPhone 15 Pro Max Carplay Issues

I have a 2022 Wrangler with the 8.4" UConnect and I have issues with Carplay and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I did not have the issue with the 13 Pro Max I traded in. But Carplay only seems to connect intermittently. About every other time I get in I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get to connect. Id assume that this is an iPhone issue since the 13 was fine. The 13 also had iOS 17 installed so wouldnt think it is a software issue either. Please advise. Thank you.

I too cannot connect my new iPhone 15 ProMax at all with my car. No Carplay, no audio, no phone, nothing. I spent a long time on the phone with an agent who told me that the auto manufacturer should update their software. HUH??? My 13 Pro Max never had a problem. Plus I have updated IOS to 17.03, no change. My older SE, with no sim, connects with no problem. APPLE you can do better here. Please.

I have a 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. The phone will connect Bluetooth just not usb. I have rebooted the phone, reset my card system software, deleted handsfree link on the phone and remove and readded the phone on my car. USB still goes to charging only. It will try to connect then for to charging and keeps doing this until I just disconnect the phone. I have a dash cam and have to use usb with allle CarPlay as I need Bluetooth for the cam. Didn’t have this problem before iPhone 15 pro max.

Got the update from the dealer and still doesn’t work for car play. Curious how many Jl jeeps have 15 pro max working.

Made a suggestion in a post that was deleted about contacting a certain phone maker and suggesting they either take the phone back or don’t charge me until they get it working on my jeep. CarPlay is not nice to have, but essential

I had an Iphone 13 pro max and did not have any problems with car play on my Jeep 2020. Now with the new Iphone 15, the phone connects and starts charging, but car play doesn't start up. I have to unplug and plug back in a few times before it finally connects. My friend also experiencing same problem with her carplay and Iphone 15. I have also tried different cables and nothing works like before. I have a feeling this is a software issue. If the phone charges, it's not a port issue. I hope apple updates the phones to function the way they should. It's frustrating.
