iPhone 15 CarPlay Not Working

Just got my iPhone 15 and CarPlay stopped working (was working on iPhone 13 Pro). Changed USB C cable to data quality USB C cable and CarPlay working again, like a champ. Hope yours is working again Emilie in Key Largo. Thought I was gonna DIE without CarPlay! (we have become a little spoiled as a species, haven't we?)

Best regards!

My Volvo V60 2022 year's model will not work with iphone 15 using USBC to USBA cables, tried 5 different brands so far! All the cables works when I connect the phone to the computer.

This is just silly.

I ended up buying a Wireless careplay adapter from aliexpress.

Search for Wireless CarPlay Adapter/Dongle. cost you around $50

Now I just enter the car and the carplay starts up and connect the phone wireless. (this function should be built in from start, not needed an cable at all. Sad to see 3rd party fix the stuff apple cant!)

I had the exact same problem with my Toyota Yaris 2021. It charges but it is not detected by CarPlay. It works fine in my Jeep Renegade with Uconnect using the same cable. I tested some other cables with Yaris and one of them (shorter and thicker) solved the problem. It seems that the multimedia in some cars have lower power USB ports so the combination with a high impedance cable (longer, thinner, bad quality) cause detection failure of iPhone 15.

I have a Ford Explorer 2021 with Sync 3 and an Iphone 15 Pro Max. Car Play stopped working on Sync3. Resolved by purchasing a USB-A to USB-C adapter and a USB-C male to USB-C male connection cord that connects the phone and the adapter. Purchase was from Amazon .. about $25. This fixed my problem. Still not happy I had to spend money that should have worked out of the box.

I ended up buying this adapter that works! It’s about $50 on Amazon but has fixed CarPlay. It’s pretty good but can be finicky to connect to right when you get in the car but once you’re connected through Bluetooth it works like new.

I have same issue with iPhone 15Pro and the USB-C. Wireless CarPlay works fine. Wired CarPlay in rental cars and one of my cars that only has wired CarPlay does not work. I bought this wireless adapter and it works great! Just plug it in to the USB port of your car or rental and poof, you now have a working wireless CarPlay. Just unpair your device first, per the wireless adapter instructions. Aluratek - Wireless Adapter for Apple CarPlay

Got the anker cord yesterday and my CarPlay now works with my iPhone 15.

I had this issue and it bothered me for days. The cord that came with the phone is the only cord that works with any adapter. I got a adapter from auto zone and it works (ORIGINAL CORD)

Hey guys, I solved this issue by simply going into my cars caplay setting and re-allowing the cars access to carplay. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem in Mazda CX30. I had 7 USB-A to USB-C cables and tried with all of them, 3 of them worked. So try with different cables.

Just got an Anker USB-A to USB-C and CarPlay works again with my new iPhone 15. Also tried a Sonos Roam (!) charging cable which works also, but is a little clumsy. Got a Mazda CX-3 with USB ports.

The usb a to c DATA transfer cable fixed it instantly!!! Thanks everyone!!!

I got my CarPlay to work with my iPhone 15 Pro by using this cable:

Anker 310 USB-A to USB-C Cable (3 ft Braided) 

Model Number: A81G5

I got two 3’ cables for about $10 on Amazon.

I had the same problem with my iPhone 15 and 2022 Camry. I switched to a data transfer cord instead of just a charging cord and it worked perfectly!

Update! I did the most recent software update to 17.2.1 and my CarPlay is working again!
