Apple CarPlay is no longer working with my new iPhone 16 Pro

Apple CarPlay no longer works in my 2019 Ram Limited with my new iPhone 16 Pro… However my old phone’s (iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 17.6.1) Apple CarPlay still works in my truck!? (My 2019 Ram requires a wired connection to run CarPlay.) I’ve done everything/“all the things” to try and resolve the issue but I’ve had 0️⃣ success!

  • restarted my new 16 Pro…
  • unplugged all the cables and reconnected them…
  • swapped cables around…
  • tried new cables…
  • tried new cables with different connectors (USB-C (phone) to USB (truck))…
  • turned my truck off (and waited) and back on, multiple times…
  • reset my truck’s settings…
  • everything that I could possibly think to do, I’ve done…


As I stated earlier, my 2019 Ram requires a direct connection for Apple CarPlay to work (wired not wireless). My previous phone (old phone I just upgraded from and am about to return for the trade in) still works after the updates. It’s an Apple iPhone 12 Pro, running on iOS 17.6.1. I upgraded to the NEW iPhone 16 Pro (1T storage) which is running on the latest firmware, iOS 18. Now my Apple CarPlay will not work in my truck!


Bluetooth still works, after I paired my new device (for media but NOT CarPlay… again, my truck does not have wireless CarPlay due to it being a 2019).


I’ve done ALL the things to try and fix this issue so I have Apple CarPlay again, with my new phone! What gives and how do we fix this, Apple!?

2017 Charger, 13 pro worked fine, 16 pro CarPlay would shut down after abut 3-4 minutes, several calls to support, their answer was take my ride to dealer for firmware update. Or just throw more money at it. I did some reading, got my hubby's cable from his truck and it works. I tried using the adapter from apple and nope it doesn't work. Try getting a new cable, that worked for me.
