Microphone not working when plugged to AUX on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I recently upgraded to an iphone 15 pro max. With my iphone 13, I used to have a lightning to AUX cable in my car which enables music/ sound to play the iphone through the speakers and enable me to take calls handsfree. I replaced this with a USB- C to AUX cable (to suit the iphone 15) and the music/ sound plays through the sound system fine, however the microphone no longer works (i.e. answer calls and person on the other side cannot hear me). It also has disabled Siri- if I say "hey Siri" this isn't recognised. Please help how to enable the microphone

Hey guys, I got a solution.

the problem is with the USBC-AUX adapter itself...

When I used this one (https://www.amazon.com/Apple-USB-C-Headphone-Jack-Adapter/dp/B07K25P3N1/) it never worked for my mic (the headphone work but aux-based mic never worked with this adapter, thus my broadcast dosn't work!!)

But...... this one just worked: https://www.amazon.com/Google-Headphone-Adapter-Type-C-Phones/dp/B07J28BYT9

All you need is a Google G016A USBC-AUX adapter which works perfectly for either your headphone or your aux-based microphone ... it is so ridiculous that google one works better than the Apple one ....

That apple usb-c device does not work because the opposite end is not a male fitting! Aux devices are female fittings and thus we need a functional Apple USB-C with a 3.5 mm male fitting!!!!!!!!!

It’s ridiculous to have to purchase a Google product to make an apple product work right. What a huge mistake apple made.

I didn’t use a google product lol. You all just need to read beyond the last replies.

I read all the replies. I don’t not see the solution of not using a Google product

Thank you because I’ve tried everything including the Google adapter. Nothing works. I think it’s software rather than hardware. I’m ready to send my phone back. This is most ridiculous

So how did you get your iPhone 15 to work?

Apr 27, 2024 10:53 AM in response to JTABAREJO

This was the solution I was looking for, connecting wireless mic to record on iPhone. Worked 100%. iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17.4.1

Apple has got to fix this issue with an urgent update! This is getting tiresome and frustrating!
