iphone 15 Pro Max to Car Play using cable

Once you have set up your iPhone 15 Pro Max to your vehicle, go to settings on your vehicle’s screen. Select Smartphone, select Apple CarPlay, select your new iPhone 15 Pro Max and enable it. This should work with any USB A to USB C connection.


I too was having issues and thought the cable I bought wasn’t compatible but after playing around with the settings on my 2018 Honda CRV screen it worked. Now I can un-return my product. Hope this all works for you.

I have a 2021 Rav4 hybrid and just got a new iphone 15. I tried sooooo many wires and the only one that worked was this one: USB C Cable-3FT, LDLrui USB C to USB A 3.1 Gen 2 Cable, Type C 3A Fast Charge & 10Gbps Data Sync Cable for Android Auto, iPhone 15/15 Plus/15 Pro Max, MacBook. Wire was $7ish on Amazon.

I believe it worked because the wire allows for data syncing. Those in this community who said use a gopro cable were not super helpful as I don't have a gopro, however, it did make me think about what it is about a gopro cable that is different from other cables.

Replying here since this is a fairly recent thread. My wired Apple CarPlay stopped working all of a sudden in my 2016 CTS. After scouring many forums of Cadillac owners and IPhone users I finally find my fix. “Forgetting” my Car in General—>CarPlay settings and factory resetting my radio worked for me! I tried 3 different quality USB-A to USB-C cables but it seems that the issue was with my phone itself. Hope this can help others
