Nothing shows up on CarPlay available cars. The wheel just keeps going around.

My iPhone 7 doesn’t connect to CarPlay on my new Subaru. My husbands 5s does. Why won’t mine. It is updated.

If your car supports Carplay, plugging the iPhone into the USB socket should immediately cause it to show it on screen.


What model of Subaru is it?


Have you checked the users manual to see if there's something you need to do to enable it?
