CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro

Need a usb-c/lightning ADAPTER

I had same issue rang Apple support they talked me through his to connect now no issue

I have same problem it intermittently connects some time stay connected than drops out again. I have to restart the car to get connect.

sadly this is one of the many issues I have with this new iPhone 16PRO

I for one would be happier if Apple Pay’s attention to product quality than bringing more emojis

I am having the same problem with my 2019 Acura TLX. Got the iPhone 16 pro and got the usb to usb-c Cable but only my audio works. My navigation doesn’t work with my CarPlay and it did with my last phone which was a 14 Pro.

Same here! Had I known this, I would have never upgraded.

I prefer my old ihpone that worked with carplay that this!

Apple needs to fix it!!

I have tried calling apple support, connecting bluetooth, changing cables, updating the software and nothing has work so far!

I am so dissapointed

I have iphone 16 pro and rexton 2024 model car . The android auto just work fine but when i connect my iphone it doesn't work and the old iphone 13 works fine . I have reset the car and iphone but doesn't work and also change my cable and used box cable as well but no response it just charge the iphone nothing else

Bz4x snd iphobe 16 pro max suddenly. Not working, happened with a previous yoyota snd iphone as well. Both companies pointing fingers at eachother (insert spiderman meme here). About to delete previous phone and reinstall this one.

I agree with the comments here. The joy of getting the new iPhone 16 Pro Max was quickly diminished when I plugged in carplay and all I get is static, garbled voices and every other word is dropped. I have tried three different and purchased a new Apple cord and the Apple USB-C to Lightning adapter...which also didn't improve anything. I have spent hours on the phone with AT&T, my provider, I spent two hours in the "Genius" Bar last night and still haven't been helped. Everyone passes the buck and I'm left with a non-operable carplay. I had not one bit of trouble with my 13 Pro...everything is connected to this phone upgrade. I just want a solution.

Hi Dan

I have a 2018 Mercedes Benz E-Class and I’m experiencing the same problem going from an iPhone 13 to a new iPhone 16 Pro. CarPlay worked with the iPhone 13 with a USB A to Lightning cable but won’t work with the USB A to USB C cable I just purchased for the iPhone 16 Pro. It charges but doesn’t connect to CarPlay - I’m sure it is a data transfer cable so should work. How did the USB C to Lightening adaptor that you purchased help you, I only have USB A inputs in my car? Probably need to do full system reset and try again with the new cable… 😬

Today I purchased a few adaptors and cables to try resolve the problem. Fingers crossed one of the above and/or a combination of them will work after I reset the infotainment settings to default. Otherwise, I give up!

Hi Dan

Quick question - when you reset the infotainment system to the default settings and you connected your iPhone 16 Pro (with the adapter and cable) and it worked, had you previously paired your iPhone via Bluetooth (for telephone & media in the car) or, did you pair via Bluetooth afterwards? I guess I’m asking the process I should follow: first CarPlay (via cable) and then Bluetooth or vice versa? Maybe it doesn’t make any difference? Thanks again for your advice.

What is an e75? Since upgrading to 16pro max I can’t use CarPlay with my phone to talk. The audio ships every other worth, has static and crackling. The rest of CarPlay works, just not audio on phone calls. I have to use my Airbuds. I’ve tried all three other “fixes” but nothing works. Thank you, in advance.

I have been unable to make phone calls after upgrading to iPhone 16 Pro Max. Maps and everything else works with CarPlay. Audio crackles, has static and drops every other word. I have a Toyota Sienna and I have done everything  everyone has suggested, to no avail. I have checked  Privacy/Content, new cords (from Apple and Amazon), uninstalled my phone from my Toyota and reinstalled it. I STILL cannot use my phone with CarPlay to make calls. If I do, all of the above happens, and worse yet, CarPlay won’t let me disconnect the call. The red disconnect button on CarPlay is frozen and when it finally disconnects on its own it randomly dials someone on my favorites list. Any additional suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Apple Support has poorly addressed at this entire debacle with CarPlay and I’m not sure, after this mess, that I will continue to be an Apple customer. Their support on this, and other products I have, has fallen way below par in the past year. They are not the company they used to be. 

I have the same issue. Cannot create a wired CarPlay connection in my Opel Astra. Apple Support referred to my Opel dealer for a software update. However Opel has no update available. My car does not support wireless CarPlay. When does Apple provide a solution?
