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 am up to around $100 in trying cables and right now, it looks like I have 2 that work!

I have plugged in and unplugged and turned the engine off and restarted multiple times with each, and each time iPhone 15 Pro quickly launches Apple CarPlay in my 2022 Wrangler Rubicon (8.4” UConnect). This evening I have to drive a 40 mile round trip, so will put each to a longer test.

Both were purchased on Amazon.

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 have a 2024 Rubicon and an iPhone 15 pro. My wireless CarPlay connection to Uconnrct 5 has worked well, thankfully after reading all of this however the only thing that isn't working are my text notification sounds.

My phone is not on silence and i do not have focus do not disturb set. My iPhone 13 2 weeks ago worked just fine. Anyone else with just text notification sounds not audible?

I’ve contacted them and their supervisor as well to work on this issue for about 4 hours we tried and I’ve purchased so many cables and even the WiFi cable for apple CarPlay, nothing is working. I agree with you, I would hate to go back to my 11. Other then the CarPlay function not working (wireless or plugged) the 15pm is nice but clearly it’s something with the actual phone itself and not the vehicles or cables. For the amount you spend on the phone this is outrageous

My iphone 15 max pro will only play music from my spotify app if i use a cord that attaches from phone to USB outlet in car - not the regular car charger previously used on phones 14 and below . When connecting , you must select USB not Bluetooth from the car menu . I drive a 2010 Lexus 350 . It’s incredibly annoying and i hope apple addresses this issue ASap . Like others , I’ve spent a lot of $ throwing away all previous chargers etc .

I update all the time. When I learned a fix was out for CarPlay, I went from my recently purchased data cable to the Apple provided charging cord. It worked for about a day then would not connect at all to CarPlay. Apple still has not fixed this correctly. Either get a permanent software fix, send a data cable to all of us. This is standard feature that should continue to work. Q
