iPhone Craplay not working

Post by Galwaygirl » Thu Jan 28, 2021 10:14 am

When I connected my iPhone with my car several days ago, it just didn't work. I didn't know the reasons. Do you have any suggestions for me to get rid of the trouble. I saw some people online recommending using professional ios repair tools such as TunesKit iOS System Recovery, Joyoshare UltFix, etc to fix the iPhone carplay not working. Did you use them before and do they work?

I think you may need to supply some more information.
Car year (can make a difference), iDrive or non-iDrive. Do you have Bluetooth music, or just Bluetooth calls? Has it connected previously?

Have you tried rebooting your phone? I’ve been having issues with CarPlay in my Merc recently and restarting my phone sorts it.

Reset iPhone. Also reset idrive by pressing and holding the Volume button until it resets.
If that doesn’t work, delete the phone pairing and repair it again.

Carplay can be a pain to get it setup the first time, it always takes me a few tries too :)

Remove the car from the bluetooth list in the phone, and remove the phone in the bluetooth list.
Make sure your iphone runs the latest ios.
Restart your idrive by holding the power button, restart your iphone and try again.
Make sure you have both wifi and bluetooth enabled before connecting
