My iPhone doesn’t detect my car when I try to connect to CarPlay.

My phone is connected in my car (USB and Bluetooth), however my iPhone doesn’t detect my car when I try to connect CarPlay. I’ve done everything suggested but still doesn’t detect my car

If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
