iPhone 15 Pro Max Carplay Issues

Update on issue, went to dealer for jeep rubicon gladiator . No issues on dealers test iPhone 13. Both my gfs 14 pro and my new 15 pro have constant disconnect issues. I have tried short fast charging usb a to c. Multiple different cables and slots and still same issue. Apple please fix. I’ve also tested my pro on my other vehicle no issues only on my jeep. Benz CarPlay works fine but super garbage on jeep

I think best way to tell if it’s an Apple issue or a Jeep issue would be if someone with this problem could find someone else with a Jeep and iPhone 15 Pro that doesn’t have this problem and test each others phone on each others vehicle. I think only then would we know if it’s the phone or the Jeep failing to connect?

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 am back from vacation. My iPhone 15 Pro updated to iOS 17.0.3. I had high hopes.

My '22 Rubicon (8.4 display) is still experiencing issues with CarPlay. I am using the Anker USB A to USB C woven 3' cable. The problem is "better" in that if I unplug and replug a couple times, I get it to work.

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.

I am also having problems with my air play working. I have tried several different cords and even bought a wireless player but nothing worked? I travel for my job and really like having access to airplay I hope there is an answer. I drive a ford 2021 eco sport

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

Not only do I have the same

issue iPhone 15 Pro Max and RAM 2500 of having to connect and reconnect to get CarPlay to work but my imbedded ATT cellular service does not work!! Multiple calls to ATT has not solved the issue.

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.

Have this issue with a 2020 Hyundai Tucson (iPhone 15 Pro Max). Spent a couple hours on the phone with Apple a month ago. I have to plug the phone in at least twice before CarPlay activates (the phone always charges 100% of the time, it just won’t activate CarPlay). I’ve tried an Apple USB-A to USB-C cable. I’ve tried an Apple lightning cable with an Apple lightning to USB-C adapter. I have an Anker USB-A to USB-C cable. Nothing makes a difference. Apple looked at my logs, ran their diagnostics, and concluded that my phone was 100% behaving normally and there was nothing wrong with the phone. They suggested the problem was with the Hyundai. Except I also have a 2003 Honda CRV with a Sony aftermarket head unit with CarPlay and I have the exact same problem in that car. Have to plug the phone in twice to get Crpmay to activate. This does not happen EVER to my wife’s iPhone 14 Plus with iOS 17. It’s literally impossible for this to be anything but a hardware issue. I’m sure it can be fixed with a software update but it’d be nice if Apple would at least acknowledge there’s a problem.

2020 Ford Explorer and iPhone 15 Pro Max same issues as everyone with Car Play not working. Ordering the USB A to USB C cable to see if it works. Updated the Ford Sync software already with no change.

Updating previous posts.

CarPlay remains intermittent with the Anker USB A to USB C woven cable ('22 Rubicon 8.4" UConnect). When CarPlay connection is established, some features fail to perform as they should (Messages). Now, since iOS17.1 update, my iPhone 15Pro gets hot! When tethered for CarPay and sitting out of the sun, it gets quite warm to the touch. Yesterday, I used the 15Pro to shoot a few minutes of video, not connected via a cable and being held handsfree in a DJI-Osmo mount. The iPhone got HOT.

My tech support guy, whose direct contact info I have as a result of uploading numerous logs & over 7 hours of calls with over a month, has stopped responding.

I am not sure what to do at this point.

I’m having the same issue with a 2023 Dodge Challenger and a 2021 Lexus NX300. Issue happens with both cars and multiple cables. And the support folks I spoke with acted like they’d never heard of the issue before.
