Not enough reports?

The issue is IOS 17.6, I had the same problem, I tried to restore settings, wifi settings and Siri reset but it didn't work.

I downgraded to IOS 17.5 and Carplay returned to work.

Apple should test better them updates, I'm really disappointed

Just a repeat of what has been stated. CarPlay worked until I updated my iPhone to software update 17.6.1

Add me to the list of victims.

'24 Chevy Silverado with wireless CarPlay. Was working fine before 17.6. Tried rebooting and removing the phone multiple times from the truck's infotainment system without success.

My phone connects to the truck via BT but when I try to connect via CarPlay, the infotainment system says there's no CarPlay devices available.

Hoping I get lucky and have it miraculously fixed tomorrow morning like some have experienced here...

Same issue here. Worked fine yesterday with 17.5, updated last night to 17.6 and my 15 Pro Max doesn’t connect to my 2016 Chevy Cruze anymore. Bluetooth connects, but car doesn’t support wireless Car Play. Phone charges fine but displays “accessory not supported” error notification. Restarted phone several times, shut off car and accessory power several times to restart audio system, re-paired phone via Bluetooth in case that helped but no luck.

Same here. Updated to 17.5 and it stopped connecting to my VW Golf (wired connection). Updated to 17.6 and still no fix. It says “connecting to USB device” but nothing happens. I’ve tried to report it but Apple don’t even have iOS 17.6 listed yet!

I upgraded to iOS 17.6.1 last week and now my Apple CarPlay doesn’t work in my Chevrolet Infotainment System. My iPhone is wireless connected and other features work, but Apple CarPlay app is grayed out on the car Infotainment System. Tapping on the app, I get a message saying there are no CarPlay devices available. I have tried several times going through the setup, but still doesn’t work. Going on a car trip Monday. Apple team…HELP!

Same issue for me! Installed the iOS 17.6.1 update and boom! CarPlay doesn’t work.

this isn’t the first time Apple has broken CarPlay for me with an iOS update.

To the OP and all participants:



This seems to be catching on. So, report this to Apple, as I suggested before. Apple will know thing of your issue, if you don't report it to them.

Same problem on my Santa Cruz....Carplay will not connect. BT connection to the car is fine....NO Apple Carplay

Please send out a patch as this is a global issue.

So half an hour later and it starts working again. Did nothing different, no changes to any car or phone settings. I had stopped at a gas station and car was shut off for about 10-15 minutes. When I started that car again and plugged phone in to at least charge, CarPlay connected again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We’ll see how long it lasts….

Similar issue here, everything worked fine yesterday with 17.5.1, updated last night to 17.6 and now this morning it still connects fine to the car, but it now refuses to process/send messages I dictate. After dictation, Siri claims it "cannot show the information" because I am driving and the send button is greyed out.

When I first updated it was fine but after that first time it wouldn’t connect to my 2022 Mazda CX5. My wife who was with me in the car at the time is still on 17.5 and that worked so I knew it wasn’t the car. Restarting the phone and the car didn’t work. I wound up having to go into CarPlay settings on the phone and remove the car pairing, and go into the head unit and remove it there as well. Once I reconnected it prompted for access like it was the first time I connected and after allowing everything was working again. Just had to redo my app order and remove the ones I didn’t want again.
