iPhone 15 Pro Max Carplay Issues

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

I found a fix I bought one of those small adapters that goes from usb A to C ( not the cable.) I then used the cable that came with the iPhone 15 pro and it worked. This worked on my 2021 Subaru crosstrek and 2023 Toyota Tacoma. Before all that was happening was that it would charge but the car not display the CarPlay.

my buddy tried one of those adapters that make the CarPlay wireless and it worked for him. He has a 2023 Honda civic I went with the usb A to usb C adapter because it was cheaper. I just but the highly recommended on amazon.

Ford Mustang here, having this exact same problem. I am noticing it is disconnecting mostly when I wiggle the base of the USB-C, not the phone or the base of the USB connection to the car. What has been working for me (so far) is a cord that has the BASE of the USB-C cord a bit more secured, like this: USB-C to USB A Cable

I hope this helps in the long run but has been helpful so far.

Just want to tag onto the replies in case it helps somebody down the road. I had an issue where my CarPlay stopped working altogether. Initially, I thought it was the port in the car (2022 Subaru Legacy). I tried multiple cables and cars and my phone would basically charge for 3 seconds, then disconnect. This would continuously cycle in this manner until I unplugged my phone. It did work prior with no issues for a few months. When I would plug in my phone at home, it would charge as normal or connect to a PC as normal.

Ultimately, what I ended up doing to fix this problem without needing to purchase additional adapters or cables:

Checked for updates: Updated to 17.4

Go into Settings >> General >> CarPlay

Delete the vehicle that you are having the issue with (Forget This Car).

Go to Settings >> Face ID & Passcode - type in passkey

Scroll to bottom and turn on Accessories if it's not already. (Not sure if this actually did anything as it was never on prior, but I saw someone said it helped for them, so I did it anyway)

Finally, Settings >> Screen Time >> Content & Privacy Restrictions

Make sure this is either switched OFF or if it is ON, click Allowed Apps and make sure CarPlay is turned on.

After I performed these steps, I went back out to my car and CarPlay connected immediately with no issues! Hoping this helps someone in the future!

I’m having the same issue with the iPhone 15 Pro it is not a max. I have disconnected all devices. I made sure the old phone was totally signed out and I still cannot get an option to add My Phone as a favorite, which I think is the only way you have to be the Apple CarPlay, someone help me please

I got this cable from T-mobile and problem solved. I can connect my iPhone 15 pro max to my Lexus 350 RX CarPlay with no problem.

I was having the same problem until I found these connectors that I bought a while back. Works like a charm!! (Well atleast for me)

Try these

Here was the perfect fix to the CarPlay issue. Hope this helps everyone.

That was one of the points I was getting at today, as well as data transfer speed.

Forgot to say I tried the Apple 69w USB C yesterday with zero success.
