CarPlay not working with iPhone 16 Pro
I upgraded my iPhone 12 Pro to a 16 Pro, and the new phone will not connect to my 2018 Mazda CX-5 with CarPlay. When I plug it in, it charges but makes no sign of connecting.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

I am so disappointed! My new iPhone 16 Pro does not work connect to my Carplay in my Toyota CHR. Had I known this, I would have upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro instead. :(
@Edwardthomas0
where do I find this on my iphone16pro?
Not seeing where to enable privacy restrictions
thank you!
I tried around 15 usb to usb-c without success. I then tried an old usb to micro-usb, with c adapter, and it worked as did the next ‘older’ cable. What a faff.
Delete both phones from car memory and re-install new phone.
Changed cable on mine to a data and charging cable. Car play now works. Spend 3 hrs on phone to apple support. Then found this suggestion on this group
I wish I had my iPhone 13 back! Hopefully Apple will fix the problem soon?
This worked for me too. Once I did content privacy restrictions it connected without any problems! Thanks for the information!
Buy a USB A to USB C Cable and your CarPlay will work. Worked with my 2020 Toyota Camry.
I am having the same issue my old phone will connect but my new iPhone 16 won’t connect to my car. It will
charge but I can’t see maps or reply to text messages.
Why usbc to lightning?
iPhone 16 is already usb c why do you need the adaptor? Could you explain?
I also had trouble connecting new iPhone 16 pro to CarPlay, in a 2022 Lexus ESh. Deleting existing phones and adding new 16 pro resolved the problem. It now connects seamlessly!😊
Is it really working Apple CarPlay with the adapter???
Where did you find that in settings?
Did what you said and it works.
Better solution than just complaining about it.
This worked- thanks so much (was driving me mad!)
