1. Check Your Internet Connection

  • Open Safari and try loading a website.
  • If nothing loads:
    • Turn Wi-Fi off and on (or switch to Cellular).
    • If on Cellular, make sure Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data is enabled.
    • Try Airplane Mode (turn it on, wait 10 seconds, then turn it off).
    • Restart your router if you're on Wi-Fi.

2. Reset Network Settings (If Internet Issues Persist)

If your phone still says "No Internet", try resetting network settings:

  • Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings.
  • (This won’t delete your data, but you’ll need to reconnect to Wi-Fi after.)

3. Fix CarPlay Connection Issues

  • If using USB cable:
    • Try a different cable and USB port in your car.
  • Make sure CarPlay is enabled:
    • Go to Settings → General → CarPlay and see if your car is listed.
    • Restart both your iPhone and your car’s infotainment system.
  • If using Wireless CarPlay:
    • Check if Bluetooth is on and paired with your car.
  • Forget and re-pair your car:
      • Settings → Bluetooth → Forget This Device (for your car).
  • Reconnect and reconfigure CarPlay.

4. Fix Pandora Not Connecting

  • Open the App Store and check for Pandora updates.
  • Reinstall Pandora:
    • Delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store.
  • If Pandora won’t work on Cellular, check:
    • Settings → Cellular → Scroll down and enable Pandora.
  • If using CarPlay, ensure Pandora has CarPlay permissions:
    • Settings → General → CarPlay → Your Car → Customize → Ensure Pandora is listed.

5. Check for iOS Updates

  • Go to Settings → General → Software Update and update to the latest iOS.

6. Restart Everything

  • Restart your iPhone and your car’s infotainment system.
  • If possible, restart your Wi-Fi router if your phone isn't connecting to the internet.
