CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro

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

For most people, this was not the issue. I asked this question before I figured it out that you need a cord that has data and charging not just charging. It does not have to be Apple, but it does have to have a data availability. The simple cheap one I was using Didn't work. I just had to change the cord. I tried the privacy settings and that didn't help.
