iPhone 15 Pro Max Carplay Issues

I’ve got a wrangler too. 2 in my family, both have uconnect 8.4.

Never had issues with the 14PM and ios 17. I’ve tried type c, and a usb a to c cable. with my 15PM it’ll work on the first try if I don’t tap accept on the safety splash screen. If I wait a minute it won’t work until I plug in and out 4-5 times.

Nothing to do with your vehicles. Now that the 15's have been out a week, LOTS of different vehicle discussion forums are full of threads about iPhone 15 pro - Apple CarPlay not working.

I am waiting for my telephone appointment with my senior tech rep Sunday morning. When I last spoke with him Thursday, he said Apple wanted more logs. Not sure if they are already aware of the problem, why they need more logs from my '22 JL Rubicon.

As an aside, I have not even attempted to see if there is a problem with the iPhone 15 Pro in my brand new '23 MB GLA45 AMG with CarPlay. At least it only has USB C.

The iPhone 15 Pro launches CarPlay FAST with both these cables. I had it drop out using a 2020 Mophie USB A to USB C that I had for an iPad Pro while I was talking to Apple Tech Support. So far, so good with BOTH these cables. Definitely have my fingers crossed.

Same issue here as well. I have an iPhone 15 Pro that I have to repeatedly connect and disconnect the Apple provided USB-C connector on my 2021 RAM 3500 with the 12.1 Uconnect system before CarPlay actually turns on. Unfortunately I have to perform the physical connect/disconnect >=6 times before it finally takes. Former iPhone 12 never had this issue.

I also have the issue where I can practically start a camp fire with heat coming off the back of the phone.

I have a 2019 Silverado, I'm also having the same problems. I also bought the usb-c adapter from Apple, still having problems. Hopefully they get this fixed soon. This is with the 15 Pro Max. My 14 Pro Max worked great all the time.

Return that adapter and get your $29 back. I sent mine back & Apple received it. Still waiting for my CC refund.

Thus far, only the Anker and Amazon Basics USB A to USB C cables I posted on a previous thread here have worked.

Luckily, I am on vacation for 9 days and not dealing with this frustrating CarPlay issue. I am hopeful Apple will have a software update that fixes this by the time I get home.

I also tried my sisters regular iPhone 15 and had the same issues. Her CarPlay works fine in her car but it’s wireless. I’d be interested to see if someone with this problem is able to test it in different makes of vehicles to see if it still happens.

Okay I found this post tonight after thinking I was the only one dying inside for the past two weeks. I have a 21 Jeep with Uconnect. I tried two cables and ended up sticking with the USB-C cable Apple supplied with the phone and then a cheap USB A to C adapter from Amazon. I truly believe this is will be fixed with an update down the road but For now I think I figured out a solution. I just went down to my jeep and for the past 20 mins I tried several different combos. Finally and with 100% success it seems that if you start the car and let u-connect fully boot up and then plug the phone in and it worked everytime. I typically always plug my phone in first and then start the car so I never thought to try this. I’m going to try again tomorrow but I think this might be a temporary fix. I tried it both locked and unlocked. 🤞iOS 17.0.3

This happened to me, I tried the expensive plug in that also has same issue. My partner she has the 14 pro and it does the same thing. Jeep said they can replicate problem but technician only used iPhone 11 and it worked.

I have similar issue with Kia Carnival (2023; CarPlay updated last month by dealership) and my iPhone 15 Pro except I haven't been able to connect AT ALL. Used the Apple-supplied USB-C cable first and then every USB-C cable I had in the house (about 12 different ones) and no luck.

iPhone 13 Pro with lightning adapter works fine .... iPhone 15 "malicious compliance" USB-C just refuses to play ball.

The amount of connectivity issues being reported since the introduction of Apple's USB-C adapter on the iPhone is absolutely ridiculous. It needs to be addressed properly.

Well looks like the car manufacturers are getting sick of receiving complaints … the start up message on my Kia Carnival has changed in the last 2 days. The regular safety message about not using your phone while driving has been replaced by this in big bold writing:

Apple CarPlay and related content are features of iPhone and are not provided by the car manufacturer. If you experience any issues with this feature, please contact your phone manufacturer.

I just came into the thread thinking I was the only one. 2017 Ford Fusion. CarPlay was wonky but worked for a day and now the car will say the iPhone has connected but will not allow either Bluetooth or CarPlay.

as others, worked flawlessly on iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 17

I have the same problem with my 2019 Ram 1500 with 12” Uconnect. iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 17.0.3. CarPlay connects and works about half the time. It’ll be working great, I turn off the truck and restart and nothing. I tried multiple USB C - C cables. My 12 Pro worked flawlessly. I hope this is fixable in software

Me too! I’ve got a jeep & a mini and both disconnected while driving! Even if you pull over & put it on the speaker feature! It disconnects as well! Won’t work either way! Traded in my iPhone 12 for this phone & never had problems with my 12! Starting to think the iPhone 15 pro max is rubbish!!!!

2020 Gladiator with the same issues. iPhone 11, 12, and 14 Pro worked flawlessly with multiple cables. iPhone 15 Pro refuses to connect. I tried four different cables to no avail. Desperately want this fixed
