I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro to a 16 Pro, and the new phone will not connect to my 2018 Mazda CX-5 with CarPlay. When I plug it in, it charges but makes no sign of connecting.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
I had the same issue with my 2019 Toyota Avalon. I tried some cable adapters (both lighting and USB A) to convert one of the ends of the old cables I had. That failed miserably and didn’t work.
I bought an Anker USB-A A to USB-C cable for about $10 from Walmart. It comes with a cable wrap which is nice in the center console to keep things organized.
The new cable worked right away. CarPlay booted faster than ever before. No issues at all.
It turns out that according to this list of car models, CarPlay is currently only compatible with 2019 - 2024 CX-5 vehicles.
Mine didn’t work when I got that wire, music did but not Navi
Same problem here with my 2023 Nissan Altima SV. Has to be something with iOS 18 or iPhone 16 pro max because my brother’s iPhone 15 pro max on iOS 17 works just fine.
Review the if you need help with CarPlay link that I posted earlier.

I also notice my iPhone 16 pro disconnects carplay(wireless) time to time. I used Iphone 11 pro max before the upgrade and never had this issue. My car is Mitsubishi Outlander 2023
CarPlay is not work on my 2021 Nissan Rogue since i switched to iPhone 16 ProMax. What do i need to do?
This worked for me. Thanks for the information.
I have usb type c car but still not working
i have the same problem with my CX-5 2022, as soon as the iPhone got linked, the screens turns black and disconnect the phone
I bought the cord and it worked for a couple days and now it won't work plugged in or not. I have a 2023 Honda Pilot Trial sport. Never had a problem with my iphone 14 pro. So frustrating.
I got the Apple 16, CarPlay works but now Siri doesn’t play my text messages nor can I hit the speak button for Siri to call someone. Or cancel navigation.
THIS piece of advice finally helped me! WOOOOO!!!
Thanks, RibGuy7. I got the Belkin and it solved the problem with my Ioniq6.
