Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Can’t get CarPlay to work for anything. Very frustrating. New Genuine Apple lighting cables with my updated iPhone 6s. Charges but does not allow projection. Pulled battery terminals reset computer. Still no go.
On a whim, my son connected his LG5 and Android Auto worked! What gives? |

You have to enable it in the settings on the phone first. Did you do that?

I found CarPlay in iphone settings but there is nothing to activate. The only thing there was a function to search for a “wireless” CarPlay which I am connected by Bluetooth to my iphone . So that is worthless.

i was having the same issue last week, so i looked online and found some fixes to try out. None of them worked for me until i finally looked at the software updates and updated my iphone to iOS 12.3.1 and then it finally worked. Even though they didn't work for me, they might work for you so here they are:
1) Disconnect both battery cables and touch them together to do a reset, if you're not comfortable with that, then you can disconnect the ground over night and have it reset that way. ( some people said the reset worked, but not for me) 2) The more expensive route is to replace the USB ports inside. Some people have reported that it malfunctioned on them, one guy even showed pictures where his had burn marks on his on the inside. You can take it out and check for yourself to see if there's any signs of being shorted out or something or just like me, go ahead and buy it just in case. I don't think mine was damaged but i replaced it either way. the replacement piece cost me $37 from a 3rd party. If non of that works then i'd say its dealership time.

The USB seem to be fine as I can charge and connect with my iPHONE and the Android phone I connected indeed worked perfectly with Android Auto. |

Does the projection icon say CarPlay after you plug in? or does it stay saying projection?

Mine had soda dropped on it by the previous owner, I came to that conclusion when I was cleaning up all the sticky residue under the center console. OP's issue seems to not be like mine, his ports charge and even recognize for Android Auto. CarPlay is automatically detected by the iPhone I believe but there is a setting in the car's infotainment settings to turn on CarPlay and Android Auto (individual settings). It may be that, if OP still has a warranty then I would always take in under warranty, if not then double check settings on the infotainment and maybe even try another iPhone. If nothing works and no warranty then you can do what I did and replace the module itself, I doubt your issue is to that extent but if it is I documented my process and can assist if there's confusion on how to reach/remove the module. EDIT: after reading some replies, an error message appears on the iPhone when plugged into the CarPlay port? If so then it may be leaning toward a cable, iPhone port, or iPhone software issue. more EDIT: iOS 12.3.2 got released recently, maybe an update could help for whatever reason Last edited by Bumbleboy92; 06-11-2019 at 07:30 PM.

Thanks for the perspective Bumble...I did find the Carplay and Android Auto switches in the infotainment system but to no avail.
The car is still under warranty as it only has 8k miles, so I may try to update to 12.3.2 and then head to the dealer. Seems like it is sooo close to a solution but I cannot figure it out. |

I upgraded my iPhone to an 8 and was excited to plug it into my vehicle and get carplay functioning. No, nope nadda.
Here is the perplexing spot. The phone charges when I plug it into the USB ports, but when I go to "Source" to play music, it does not allow a "USB 1" or "USB 2" as a source for playback. Android phones work in the car, so is it possible a channel on the lightning connector is shorted not allowing data to transfer but does allow charging? "Projection" never changes to Carplay and it is as though no USB is plugged in. BRAND new i8, cord that came with the phone. Bluetooth works with phone. |

Mine suddenly stopped working , have a iPhone xr, so I did the global or universal reset which is pulling the battery cables off and touching them to each other to erase th settings. It worked like a charm! Haven't had issues since then.
