Apple car play problems

[Hoginedgewood]

I figured it wouldn't last long, the Apple car play worked great for about a month, still using the same cable. Radio doesn't recognize the phone, it does display the Bluetooth symbol, and calls work, but I really enjoyed the full projection options.

The other problem is the volume is always too low to hear, so I'm bumping the volume up at the first call each time I plug it in.

I'm sure GM blames Apple and Apple blames GM.

Your cable most likely failed

Turn off your phone and restart it a couple of times. That worked for me.

Also try all the different USB ports

For the volume issue, could it be your phone volume is actually very low? I know with my iPod if I have the volume very low and plug it in, I have to crank my stereo volume up. If I have my iPod volume half way, then it's fine and I can adjust the truck's volume minimally.

It's new, but it's not Apple, I'll try another.

That's easy, I'll try that.

Tried both, nothing plugged into the extra one.

My volume is never low on the phone,it's the radio knob that's usually about 10%, I don't have the steering wheel controls.

Try a hard reboot of your phone. Hold home and power until it powers off and back on again.

I've had similar problem. The latest Apple iOS public beta 10.3 software made some improvements to the CarPlay interface. And the connection has been much more reliable. Hopefully, it will be even better on the final release.

 

Back up your iPhone, and you can try it out yourself:
