O Olivia Member Jun 23, 2025 #1 Hey Guys! I am facing a problem with my CarPlay. I don't know what the issue is, but my phone is charging, but CarPlay is not working. Could anyone please tell me what the reason could be and how I can fix it?

W will jacks Member Jun 23, 2025 #2 If your phone is charging but CarPlay isn’t working, here are some things to check and try: Use an Apple-certified cable – Faulty or low-quality cables can charge your phone but not support data transfer, which CarPlay needs. Check USB port compatibility – Some car USB ports only charge. Try a different one labelled for data or CarPlay. Restart your phone and infotainment system – A simple reboot can reset the connection. Ensure CarPlay is enabled – On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay and make sure your car is listed and allowed. Update iOS and car software – Outdated software can cause connection issues. Try another phone or cable – This helps rule out whether it’s your phone or the car’s system. Reset network settings – Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If none of these work, your car system may need a firmware update or a check at a service center.

Check the USB cable sometimes a faulty or non-certified cable charges but doesn’t transfer data. Restart your iPhone and your car’s infotainment system. Try connecting to a different USB port in your car if available. Update your iPhone and car software to the latest version.
