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. :(

I have the same issue with her 2020 RX 450 HL. I changed content in settings to be allowed. But it’s still only works occasionally and only if I have the phone plugged in before I start the engine.


It works fine on my wireless CarPlay on our newer RX 350 H is there anything else I need to do differently?
