Car Play not working since 9.2.1 update.

Hello Ald835,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I see from your post that your iPhone is not being recognized as a CarPlay device when connected to your car. You've already done a good job troubleshooting this issue, but there are a few additional steps I'd like you to go through.

If CarPlay doesn't work like you expect, here’s what you can check. After each step, try using CarPlay again.

1. Make sure that Siri is turned on.
2. Restart your iPhone and your car. Depending on your car, you might see the CarPlay Home screen when you turn it on. If you don't, look for the CarPlay logo on your car’s display.
3. If possible, connect your iPhone to a different USB port in your car.
4. Try a different Lightning to USB cable. Make sure the cable is certified.
5. Update to the latest version of iOS.
6. Check your car’s manual for help. You might need to install firmware updates for your stereo.

Set up CarPlay to use with your iPhone

Take care.

I am having the same issue with my brand new Volvo XC90 T8 (got it yesterday), and despite all of below, it still does not work.Only variant is that I have an iphone 5s, but also running 9.2.1.

1. Siri is on

2. Restarted both several times

3. Car only has one usb port

4. I have tried 3 different certified cables

5. 9.2.1 is the latest iOS

6. car left the dealer yesterday with the latest version of Carplay installed: It was delivered from the factory in Sweden only last week.

As previous post, I tried every combination of wifi/bluetooth on/off. I was able to connect my wife's iphone 5c via USB which has not yet been updated to iOS 9.2.1. The dealer did tell me that for some reason it would not connect via bluetooth, which has proven to be true.

Odd, as in my General settings on my phone it shows the Carplay menu option, and it detects my Volvo and asks if I want to pair via USB or bluetooth. Carplay also detects my phone and tries to connect, but then gives message "connection error" after a few seconds of trying to connect (phone even gets blue bar on top of screen showing carplay for a few seconds, like the same blue bar that shows for wifi hotspots, but then fails).

Very frustrating

Take care.

Having same issue with CR'Apple devices.

Let's examine the facts....

IPhone/iPod works completely fine with both my wife's Honda and my Chevrolet before the 9.2.1 update.

Immediately after the update..... wait for it.... Uh.. It STOPS WORKING ON BOTH VEHICLES!

I wonder what could have happened??

I have an idea... It's CR'APPLE's piece of crap update.

I Noticed on macrumors that everyone with "restrictions" should make sure that "carplay" is allowed under restrictions. Worked for me!

I had similar issues with CarPlay and iPhone.

The issue for me seemed that the software in my Volvo XC90 T8 was set to Dutch language, while I prefer my iPhone to run on English settings. After I set the iPhone to Dutch settings and connected the iPhone to the car it finally worked as expected. Afterwards I changed the language on my phone back to English and it seems to still work fine.

CarPlay stopped working in my Chevy after completing the IOS upgrade. Clearly an upgrade issue...
