Hey there deacon94,


There are a few things you'll want to check.


  1. Ensure your iPhone 15 is updated to the latest release of iOS 17: Update iOS on iPhone
  2. Check that Siri is enabled: Use Siri on iPhone
  3. Check CarPlay is not restricted in Settings > General > CarPlay and Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps
  4. Forget your car stereo from Settings > General > CarPlay > [stereo name]
  5. Forget the iPhone 15 from your car's stereo (following steps found in the owner's manual for your car)
  6. Rename your iPhone in Settings > General > About > Name


Should you continue to have the same problem, you'll want to contact Apple: Get Support


Have a good one!
