CarPlay Music issues with iPhone 13 Pro

That is the same solution Apple just gave me.

I just talked to Apple via text and this is the solution they provided and it worked! My CarPlay is now fully functional.

"So in this case, currently we have an available work around that is going to Settings> Music> EQ, and make sure that it is turned off. After it, let's try to connect your phone using CarPlay on your vehicle, and let's try to play music with it!"

Mine was set to Late Night.

I have a 2018 equinox just got the iPhone 13 pro max and CarPlay won’t work. Tried it in a Silverado 2019 and doesn’t work either. Tried all my settings, restarting my phone, buying a new cord and nothing works. Bluetooth works but not CarPlay. My iPhone XS worked just fine. Please help.

Hi,

I need to check other apps, I will later. I have a very similar problem with Spotify. Bluetooth audio works. iPod seems to play on-screen on both iPhone 13 PM and Pioneer head unit withOUT Sound.

I disconnect the cord from iPhone 13 PM the Headunit plays via Bluetooth only. Strange I get this message.. see photo. So no Carplay just Bluetooth. I get calls via Bluetooth at this time. I rebooted and reset the head unit and iPhone. I have the latest Firmware from Pioneer.

I switched the EQ off and will try this workaround.

I have the exact issue with this also. My vehicle is a 2007 Tundra with an Alpine iLX-007 head unit. I cleared the unit from CarPlay in settings on the phone and set it up again with the same result. Any app such as Amazon Music, iHEART RADIO, Pandora, Apple Music, etc causes CarPlay to disconnect and reconnect but not allowing music to play. Phone, text, Siri and maps all work fine. I connected my old iPhone 7 which is running iOS 15 as well and everything works fine. Must be a glitch or unknown setting on the 13 Pro. I also paired the 13 with my daughter's 2014 Jeep Cherokee's uconnect system and music played just fine.

Thanks for this post. Had issues with Carplay on a 2019 civic with Iphone 13 w IOS 15. (Same result in our 2021 vehicles) Success with the instructions to turn off the Iphone EQ and did a hard restart. This was very frustrating until this post saved us!

Same. Texted Apple support. They had me uninstall and reinstall music app, reset network settings, change iPhone name, hard restarts. None of it worked. Told me to try elevated tech support. Also said it is a known issue. Very frustrating.

I had the same issue with the 13 ProMax and IOS15. My EQ was also set to "Late Night". I turned the EQ off and reconnected and CarPlay now works fine. My wife had no problem with hers but her EQ was set to "Extra Base". I turned my EQ back on to "Extra Base" and have not had any issues with CarPlay since.

Try disabling EQ

Mine EQ is off and didn’t work tried turning it off and on and restarting my phone neither worked

You’re welcome, it was frustrating, but an easy fix for some!

Got the 13 pro. Only the audio works for CarPlay and nothing else. Made driving in unknown downtown area pretty miserable for me this weekend.

It is unfortunate that I can't use the EQ, but this solution worked for now. Hopefully they will fix it in an update.

I looked and Iphone 13 isn't supported for CarPlay. I am assuming because its so new. But I still can't get anything to work properly and I feel like I have tried everything.

Same story. Mine plays music but I guess as an iPod. CarPlay can’t find the vehicle.
