iPhone not recognized by car

My iPhone is no longer recongnized when its plugged into a car usb port. I noticed at first that CarPlay stopped working and then I noticed that playing music via Usb doesnt work either. The strange part is that the cord still charges the phone. Bluetooth still works.

I’ve tried different cables, updated softwares on both the vehicle and the car, and just about everything. Other peoples phones work on my car and my phone doesn’t work on others either.

Please help!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15
