Can't connect to wired CarPlay with USB-C cable

My 2023 Santa Fe has wired CarPlay with USB port. No problem previously connecting with USB-Lightening on old iPhone; but new iPhone 17ProMax won't connect to CarPlay with USB-C cable. Hyundai doesn't know why...Anybody know?


iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

Not all USB cables are created equal.


Many are charge only cables and do not carry data.


Make sure you have a cable or adapter that actually carries data as well as power.
