CarPlay Issues with new iPhone 15 Pro Max

I just got the iphone 15 pro max and carplay won't work in my 2022 Lexus Rx350. Help! I checked to make sure that access wasn't restricted in settings.

SAME HERE but with a brand new 2024 NX 350. I have been back and forth with Apple and Lexus for 2 months now and seem to finally be making headway.


I have had 3 loaner cars from Lexus over the last 2 months trying to resolve this (and a rattle in my door) and my phone hasn't worked with any of them EXCEPT the premium NX 350, because the software is different in the premium models. We have also tried 3 other iPhone 15s with several different Lexus models and none worked.


A higher up "regional technician" finally came out and assessed the problem and supposedly reported it to Lexus corporate, and now Lexus & Apple engineers are working to find a fix.

I am at my wit's end with this. How long am I supposed to drive around with a car that doesn't work properly??

It is illegal to use a phone while driving where I live (and unsafe anyway), so I have no means to communicate now while driving.


I suggest everyone call your local dealer and have them report it, AND call Lexus corporate and report it yourself. The more consumer push they get, the more quickly they'll need to resolve this.

Hello iPhone 15 pro users. I have great news for those who are unable to connect your phone to your Lexus CarPlay. I had the same issue. I contacted apple support via text and they guided me through and made it it work. I AM SUPER EXCITED! It’s just a matter of checking few settings and resetting your phone. You got to have some patience. It is a lengthy process. But it’s totally worth it😊 give it a try. FYI this is my first commenting in such forum. I had to share this good news so you all can resolve similar issue. I know how frustrating it is to find the answer. Good luck!

exact same issue with me and a honda 2022! i tried everything- Apple and Honda blaming each other and in the meantime, we customers having USELESS technology, even though it is state of the art- or so it is supposed to be.

tried everything on this forum, tried apple support, tried honda support, tried uninstalling and reinstalling my iphone, tried ALL sorts of cables and adapters, including 'apple' cables and Anker.

SHAME ON BOTH COMPANIES
