iPhone 15 CarPlay Not Working

I had a 13 Pro Max and upgraded to the 15 Pro Max. I can’t get my Apple CarPlay to work in my 2018 Kia Sportage. It worked great with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I’ve tried different cables, and nothing is working.

Tried USB adapter cable to plug Iphone 15 into 2023 Subaru Forester. My previous Iphone and wife’s worked fine.

Can’t find solution to connect Iphone 15 USB-C adapter to USB in car to use Carplay…..can’t work.

Try deleting other devices and connect new phone as new device there are a variety of fixes in this thread that work depending on vehicle. I still think apple needs to create an overall fix but due to FCC forcing apple and android to be converted to universal C charger by end of 2024 they are having unforeseen issues we are on our own to resolve. Best wishes on on resolving but I’m confident one of the methods in this thread will work. If cord didn’t my next suggestion is delete all devices and connect new phone as new device using Bluetooth from CarPlay

Soooooo after reading all 27 pages and experiencing 3 days of torture and anxiety, I used the procedures and products suggested in these comments and everything is working GREAT again. For those of you still struggling here is a step by step of what I did involving the IPhone 15, a 2022 Toyota Tacoma and ApplePlay

1. I deleted the iPhone 15 from the Tacoma and the truck from the phone (Forget this device)

2. Then I renamed the phone.

3. I then did a reboot of the iPhone and turned off the truck. 

4. I plugged in the iPhone with an Anker 310 USB-A to USB-C cable

5. Restarted the truck and IPhone and within seconds both the vehicle and device had me answering questions and allowing this and that!

I hope this helps!!!

I had this problem, too, but the latest iOS update to 17.2.1 resolved the issue for me. I am now able to use CarPlay with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, just like I used to do with older iPhones that used a different cable.

Just use your old FireWire cable (usb-A to FireWire) and put this converter from Amazon on the FireWire end. attach iPhone 15 to usb-c on converter and you're back in business...

I've been struggling through this same problem. I ordered some new charger cords and the issue was immediately resolved.

This is the cord that I ordered ... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08B1QPFWP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

My new iphone 15 pro max and my toyota rav 4 carplay seem to be having issues. What the heck? At forst the cord i used didnt work so I switched to another cord and its working but then while playing podcasts I encountered issues in which i would press play and it kept stopping on its own????

Resolved!!!! Has been working perfect no glitch for a month:

My iPhone 13 was working fine with my car, but the iPhone 15 that has a USB type C connector would not work at all. I followed Apple‘s recommendation and purchased from the Apple Store:The Belkin boost charge pro flex USB – A to USB – C cable 3.3 feet. As soon as it plugged in, it worked instantly and flawlessly!

I've a Peugeot 2008 and the navigation, etc. worked well with the lighting to USB cable when I had an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I've just upgraded the phone to the 15 Pro Max and it no longer works even though I'm using an Apple USB-C to USB cable. The experience upgrading to the 15 has not been a happy one; not only can't I use it properly in my car, the transfer of data from the old to the new phone also transferred over some glitches in the settings (which no-one seems able to find) which mean that the Mail app does not display emails (particularly those pulled in from Gmail) and - even though the ringer and notifications are turned on - there is no announcement/ringing for incoming calls, texts, etc.

Well, that worked for a couple of days but now it doesn’t. All I get is either an iPod fault notification or an instruction to try a different usb cable. I’m using the cable that came with the phone. It’s just crazy that it worked then stopped.

Had some progress on this issue. I use the cable that came with the phone and a type C to type A adapter (from Amazon) once it stops working, restarting the phone solves the problem but it doesn’t last long. It turns out, on my VW head unit, there is an option to “safely remove usb” similar to disconnecting a flash drive from your MacBook. If I do this, I have no problems.

In conclusion, you need to either find and use the “safely remove usb” option every time you disconnect or restart your iPhone 15 if it won’t connect.

Not an ideal solution, and not one I have ever needed to use before, but it’s all I’ve got for now.

Hopefully, Apple will sort out iOS soon so it will work like my 11pro did for years.

And the same for my 2020 Toyota Camry. I just updated upgraded last week to the iPhone 15 because when I got my 13 Pro Max in February 2022 I had never been able to finish the restore on that new phone. So I went to Verizon to see if they could fix it, they could not. so I upgraded to the 15 promax. I’ve had nothing but problems with the 15 and I blamed it mostly on the fact that I had had to restore this from my last update in February 2022. I lost tons of contacts, passwords, messages, and apps. One particular app which I use daily for bill tracking is no longer available in the App Store. So all of that that I’ve used for almost 10 years to track my monthly bills for my home, gone. And now to find out that I can’t even use CarPlay anymore? This phone is absolute garbage until they fix it. I’m livid.

Would you be able to share a link to the product that you purchased? If there’s hope then I may not go back to Verizon and try to switch back to my 13. But with all the discounts that I got when I made the switch it could seriously F my Monthly bill.
