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.
New iPhone 16 will not connect to my Acura phone

Thanks for saving me the crash out. the husky brand usb to type C charger for their flashlights communicates too i found out.
Thank you!
Where do I find this setting?
I work at a Ford authorized service.
In such error cases, the factory releases updates for all vehicles. There is no update available at the moment.
Did not work for me. Still get “USB ERROR.”
I am disappointed too. My iphone16 will not engage CarPlay on my 2022 car. Can Apple design a patch or work on this?
