Issues connecting to Range Rover CarPlay with iPhone 15

I have a 2020 Range Rover Velar and connecting my last 3 iPhones to it (12,13,14) went always seamlessly

I recently got my new iPhone 14 and no matter what the textbook says and I tried it with the help of an online technical support team including a supervisor, nothing worked.

I tried to get a connection in rented cars: same issue. I tested someone else’s iPhone 13 in my car, and there was no issue connecting.

Has anyone encountered connection issues between iPhone 14 and Carplay?

curiously, the phone gets paired but the only part that connects is the phone and contacts, but none of the apps like GPS or music.

thank you

Yes actually the solution was very simple. Your iPhone 15 comes with a charging cable USB-C to USB-C. Using a converter in your car -like in the cigarette lighter- won’t work. You need to get a USB-C to USB cable (Apple does not make one !!) and it should work. They recommended Belkin BoostCharge and I immediately got the CarPlay to function.

I am still waiting for advice on using a wireless connection with the iPhone 15. It still does not work.

Very odd that Apple did not foresee these issues in the new iPhone 15 CarPlay function.
