Kindly please if your CarPlay/iPhone/Car combination works, share it with us in a comment. Do not forget to mention the car, the cable and which iPhone 15 model you have. Thanks a lot!
Hello guys, I have tested another 9 cables here: ruclips.net/video/Wg0qJceYn7A/видео.html Surprisingly, another one was KO. Care to guess which brand? Again? :)
I could not get my iPhone 15 Pro to connect to Apple CarPlay in my 2018 Honda CR-V. got a data/charge cord (the Belkin one mentioned in this video). In order for it to work, I had to reboot the audio system in my CRV (hold down power button on audio for 10 seconds). Now it works! Thanks!!!
Worked! I actually used the Apple usb-c cable with a dongle. Charges and connects CarPlay. I had literally tried five or six other A to C cables. Some of them charged. None of them connected. I have an iPhone 15 pro max.
@@sinnedbags9287 Thank you , the dongle from amazon did not work but I found a data cable for a number keypad I have that I have for my macbook air and that worked lol
After watching the video I decided to buy the IKEA LILLHULT USB-A to USB-C (Type C) cable and it looks like it works...fow now My car is a Dacia Sandero Stepway
I had a usb-A to lightning cable with my old iphone that would not charge but it did work for carplay. I don’t know if that is a common issue but I found it quite strange. Now I use Nedis usb-a to usb-c cable and it works well
Hello, indeed it's a bit strange for a cable to not charge but work with Carplay. Well, good thing that you found a good one. Thanks for sharing! Which car do you have?
For me, it started to work for the first few days but today, only CarPlay stopped working. The USB connects to the car and I can hear everything and charge my phone but just no CarPlay. Everything is enabled but according to the car it says it’s not detected.
I have the same problem. I just bought a 15 pro and haven’t been able to make CarPlay work. I thought it was a problem only of my device. Does anyone of you know how to fix it or if we have to wait till next iOS update?
Anyone have issue with 2020 Chevy Traverse? was working with my older iPhone now with iPhone 15 cannot get it to connect. Was working properly not I can't get it to connect at all.
i have an iphone 15 pro max 2018 honda civic dongle adapter def does not work any idea if the belkin will work in my honda? big question why does apple not manufacture a usb a to usb c cable
Hello, Why Apple does not have such cable yet is indeed strange. However there are cables from other brands (like Belkin) on their page. I have not tested any dongle because going that road most probably will bring more incompatibilities. I'l make time to test some with an original USB-A to lightning cable but often the price is around the same range so why not get directly a cable. While I have not tested any Honda yet (I have an old one from 94 but it doesn't have USB port or CarPlay :), I do not think you will have problems with Belkin. Also, it is around $10 so it should not be that difficult to test it. In the worst case scenario you can also send the cable back. Thank you for your comment, hope my response is up to your expectation and kindly please share the results.
Yes, as mentioned before: data cable :D I have added in the comments, link to the presentation page of cables tested by me (successful ones) but you should not limit to these only as I have read over the internet that many data cables are working. To some even ordinary no name from Amazon. Also, if you have a USB-A to USB-C cable in the house that is used only for data transfer (not charging cable), like for external disks, try that one because those types are 100% made for data and they should work. The problem with them is usually they are short and thick but use one just for testing purpose. Thank you Terry!
Anybody have any luck with a 2021 Toyota Corolla and iPhone 15 pro . Tried cables and I tried 6 dongles off Amazon and none are working w my Toyota Corolla . I am using the cable that came with the iPhone 15 pro
Pasa lo mismo con mi Chevrolet cavalier 2023, no tiene entrada tipo c, pero si tipo USB. Y le probé varios cables tipo c - USB. Y no activa el Apple carplay. Es una lastima por qué recientemente compré el iPhone 15 pro y no se conecta inalámbrico ni alambrico. . Si conocen alguna solución, me gustaría saber.
The problem that most of us iphone 15 pro max owners experiencing is that most of these Cables Don't stay connected to Carplay. Mine connects for about 1 minute and then goes out & back on again, so it's completely useless if your trying to listen to music or using it for Navigation. Can you please post an update on which one of these Cables you have had no issues with plugged in for at least 1 hour? Thank you!
Hello, I have no issues with any of these cables tested in this video, even used for a longer period. I have shown briefly there that they work but I have used them longer, took them one by one and used them during my trips. No disconnect. There are 3 parties involved in this: the car, the phone and the cable. OK, 4 parties: also the phone's software (iOS). OMG there is also 5th: the software part of the car. I'll stop, there are so many parties involved. Do you can see how many variables we have. As long as the cable supports data, it should work. If you test more data cables and you have problems with all of them, then the issue is not with the cable. It's either the car's software or some compatibility issue between the car's software and iphone's. First thing is to signal this issue with your car dealer, maybe they have some software update for your car. Then you can even call Apple's support and let them know too. If they do not know, they will not work on a fix. I do not own other car with CarPlay so this is the only car I have tested the cables with. When I did this video, the main topic was the cables but this issue evolved and a fix here is not the same fix there. And more people will buy and use these phones with their cars, more different problems will appear. Clearly something must be done and seeing so many issues with different brands, the solutions stays on Apple's side because CarPlay is theirs also, no matter the car. So my only suggestion is if nothing works, bombard Apple with complaints. Sorry for the long response.
Hello, this means you either need another cable (maybe that one is not a real data cable) or there is a different issue in relation to your car. My suggestion is to try other cables and only afterwards draw a conclusion.
I had an A to C dongle and nothing worked. No charging even. Until i switched the apples original c-type cable upside down in the dongle. Apparently the male and female connectors correspond differently depeding on how it’s plugged in 🤯
Hello, that was an interesting approach. Yes, depending on the dongle or cable, sometimes turning them over can solve the problem. Now you need to remember how to plug them. Draw a dot with a marker :) Thanks for sharing!
@@zubilitic I have a 15 pro but not the same car, my CarPlay system was retrofitted via MMI box. The phone is still new so not much information is out there regarding this topic, you’re one of the few that has information related to wired CarPlay. I also have an iPhone 11 that is on iOS17 and the lightning cable works just fine so it’s not the OS nor the CarPlay system as CarPlay works just fine with USB2.0 speed through lightning connection. However my 15 pro would drop signal after ~15 seconds.
Hello, maybe the MMI box must be upgraded. Check if you have a newer firmware version available. I will check the cables with other cars when possible and will confirm if the tests are OK.
Thank you for your willingness to check for me. I will contact the manufacturer on this end and see if there is a newer firmware version. On the other hand, I have tested 2 more USB C 3.2 cables and my 15 pro's Carplay signal still gets dropped like others. One of them came with a C to lightning adapter and my 11 connects just fine. Hopefully it's a thing Apple can fix with a new update since carplay only needed 2.0 speeds.
Yes indeed USB2.0 is enough for CarPlay. It seems for certain combinations (e.g. cars and cable and phone), there may be some incompatibility. Kindly please keep us informed.
I have not tested myself that one but so far all Belkin cables were good. The one mentioned by you should be good also but without testing I cannot confirm. Let me know how it goes. Cheers!
@@zubilitic Thanks! I got this Belkin one with braided cable 1 meters black and another Belkin one with 2 meters black but different model. I think they would be good if I want them for CarPlay. But would you personally choose 1 meter or 2 meters for CarPlay only?
Between 1 and 2 meters should be more than enough. You can use a shorter one only if you plan to only keep the phone around the port but it would be difficult if you want to use the phone while stationary. Longer than 2 meters (unless the port is very far) kinda makes no sense in a car. I have tested a 3m one and there was too much cable :) I have another video in which I test 10 cables and two of them are on the extremes: 0.25m and 3m. Here: ruclips.net/video/Wg0qJceYn7A/видео.html Hope this helps.
Hi can i pls know does apple carplay work with normal usb cable i have 15 pro max i am going to bun an usb to type c cable cause my car doesnt have an usb c port . does normal cable works for carplay?
Hello, kindly please tell what “normal cable” means to you. I have mentioned few and also what characteristics a cable should have to work: usb-a to usb-c, to support data and some known brand. You can experiment with any cable you want / you can buy, but not every cable will work. If you are successful, kindly please share the car and cable. Thanks ;)
Hello, it’s a lottery. Some work, some not and sometimes it’s about compatibility with the car. If no cable works, you need to see with you dealer, maybe a software update is needed. It depends, from car to car.
Hello, it depends. I have added extra information in the description. Cable is the first thing you can do and, if nothing works, unfortunately must wait for Apple or the car manufacturer if there is some incompatibility on their side. Hope in your case is only the cable. Cheers!
Hello, the cables do not correct any problem. If there is a compatibility problem between the car and the phone, that cannot be solved by just replacing the cable. This shows it’s not always about an incompatibility but finding and using the correct cable. The goal of this exercise is not necessarily using exactly those cables but helping in deciding which cables are more suitable for this.
Hello, most of the time, the brand and model are the same all over the world so I am sure you should be able to easily find them in your area. If not, as mentioned before, stick to known brands, take a look at apple's website for inspiration and buy them from where the price is lower. Also, feel free to try any brand as long as it has DATA. Finding an usb-c cable is easier than lightning because usb-c is a standard port available on multiple devices and they no longer require to have MFi (made for iphone/ipad/iwhatever) standard. By the way, what car and iphone model you have? Cheers and good luck finding the right cable.
Hello, thanks for sharing this! I hope you have sent them back. What cars do you have? Have you tested other cables successfully with them? Thank you ;)
Hello, I have most of the time do not disturb activated to be sure I am not distracted while driving. But I do notice sometimes popup alerts on the screen when I receive alerts via different applications (especially iMessages). I will see if I can find something relevant and let you know. Just out of curiosity, why would you want the phone to beep continuously when you are receiving stuff on it? You cannot do anything while driving anyway. You will get distracted for nothing.
Because for my second job I’m driving and I need to hear the alerts for my job. I also have kids, so I need to make sure I get all alerts. Not everyone can multitask while driving, however not everyone is checking their phone while driving either. Not that I need to explain but I make sure I’m at a safe stop before checking my phone. Thanks for asking 😉
