It may be caused by a malfunction of the data cable or the car's USB port. The specific details are as follows: 1. Check the mobile phone: First, confirm whether there is any damage or breakage in the mobile phone data cable, and whether there is any foreign matter attached to the metal contact ends of the USB plug and the phone plug or whether the surface is oxidized. 2. Check the car stereo: Check whether there is any damage inside the external USB port of the car stereo, and whether the contact metal piece can maintain good contact with the USB plug. Check whether there is any looseness in the connection between the car stereo and the external USB HUB. To avoid poor contact inside the plug due to long-term oxidation, you can repeatedly plug and unplug the two plugs of the wiring.
My Mazda3 occasionally experiences CarPlay connection issues, and through troubleshooting I've found several common causes. The most frequent culprit is a faulty USB cable - worn-out or loose connectors can cause problems, so trying an original cable is recommended. Another key factor is outdated vehicle software; Mazda systems often release patches to optimize connectivity, so a free upgrade at the dealership is advisable. iPhone settings can also be problematic - check if Bluetooth and CarPlay permissions are enabled, and outdated iOS versions may cause conflicts, so updating to the latest version helps. Dust accumulation in the ports may interfere with connection, so cleaning the USB socket is worthwhile. I usually connect while parked since the system may restrict operations while driving. If these solutions don't work, consider hardware failure like an infotainment module issue - timely repairs prevent worse consequences, being both cost-effective and safer.
