iPhone 15 CarPlay Not Working - Fix

Did all that and it still isn’t connecting.

Can you provide the link to the cable that wowks

Could you let me know exactly which cord you purchased?

Ok so what did you ask for at the Verizon store?

How do you change the name? Like for example if mine says iPhone115 that is what I change?

Nevermind, figured out that

Did it work for you?

I tried all of the above suggestions and nothing worked after upgrading to an iPhone 15. This phone simply has a flaw that does not allow it to work with a wired Car Play car and Apple has know about this for almost a year now.

It should not be this complicated getting it to work considering, in the excat same car, ALL previous phones worked until the iPhone 15 came out.

So something is not right here. After spending two weeks troubleshooting and on the phone with Apple support, I gave up and bought a $50 adapter that converts my "wired only " Car Play into a wirless version and now I can use the phone again with car Play. But there are still weird connection messages on the phone but at least it works.

In the end, I do not see where my iPhone 15 does any more than my old one did so this is great disappointment!

My solution was absolutely in the cable. I tried so many charging and data cords, adapters and other suggestions on here. I deleted my phone from my car and forgot my car on my phone. I just kept getting a “charging error”. I finally found this cord and as soon as I plugged in my phone, the startup for CarPlay started up. Then I unplugged and set up Bluetooth manually.

I did not have to hard reboot nor rename my phone.

I also ordered the cord from Best Buy mentioned in this thread. Haven’t received it it, but I am thinking it will

prob work.

I also wonder if the solution has to do with the car model. I see so many different solutions that worked for people, it seems like there is some reason for all the solutions.

I have a 2017 Honda Civic EXT.

I had the same issues with my Honda City 2019. I was happily using an iPhone 12, then an iPhone 14 all with the USB-A - Lightning connectivity. Upgraded to iPhone 15 last week, and since then CarPlay is refusing to connect.

The cable that came with the phone was no good, as the car only has a USB A port. I use CarPlay a lot, so this was a major handicap.

Trawled the net for articles, most of which proved useless, and then stumbled on to this post, and decided to try my luck.

After trying with multiple (third party) cables, ordered a Belkin USB-A - USB-C cable(https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B085585Y3D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Here is what I did:

1. Made my phone "Forget" the car in Bluetooth settings
2. Made sure to cold-restart the phone and the car
3. Connected the cable to the car's USB-A port and then to the phone
4. et Voila!!! It works now. Lesson learnt - use a cable certified to work with Apple devices even if a bit pricey.

Just to be sure, also tried connecting through a USB-A-USB-C converter (https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B09MZDL4NZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and attaching the original Apple USB-C cable that came with the phone, and that works too... Planning to stick with the Belkin cable connection, as it is lesser number of connections.

Haven't connected the Bluetooth back yet, but guess that can wait a bit. Hope this is useful for those others who are struggling likewise.
