CarPlay and my iPhone 15 Pro Max won’t connect

my new phone won’t connect to my car (2021 sienna). My old phone (14 max pro) was fine. Used the provided usb c-usb c cord in the car to no avail. Tried different connector and cord . No luck. Car play on the phone won’t recognize the vehicle. Disconnect and reconnected the phone. It’ll work to make calls. It will charge in the car.

what gives? Very frustrated.

If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If Content & Privacy Restrictions is on, tap Allowed Apps, and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.

That worked for me just now on 15 pro
