Car AUX cable post ios12 update

Hi there.

I've recently updated to the latest ios12 on my iphone 8 and now my Aux cable in my car no longer picks up when I play music, or anything else for that matter.

The cable is new (2 months old) and is Aux to Lightning.

Any ideas how I can get it working again??

Thanks

iPhone 8, iOS 12

Hey krcic,

I understand you're unable to connect your iPhone 8 to your car via USB after updating to iOS 12. I'd be happy to help out.

I'd recommend using the steps here to get connected:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod doesn't connect to or work in your car - Apple Support

If you connect using USB playback

  1. Restart your device and your car.
  2. Make sure that your device is unlocked and on the Home screen.
  3. If possible, try to connect using another cable or USB port. Check your car owner's manual to learn how to connect an Apple device.
  4. Check your charging port for any debris or damage. Make sure that your charging cable is inserted fully into the port.
  5. Update your device.
  6. Install any firmware updates for your car stereo.
  7. Try playing audio from a different app. If you can't play audio from a third-party app, contact the app developer for help. If you can't play audio from an Apple app, contact Apple Support.


Cheers!
