Why isn’t my iPhone 8+ connecting

My iPhone 8+ won’t connect via USB to my car. I’ve tried different cords (all original apple lighting cords) and every time my car says ”No supported audio formats found” but when I plug my moms iPhone 8 & sisters 6s in, it reads it just fine and allows music to play. This is very annoying. My cars firmware is up to date. I used to be able to connect without issues but stopped being able to do so after several software updates. Fix it or I’ll never purchase another iPhone again. Bring back the audio jack. The lighting port causes so many issues 🙄
