Why does CarPlay only charge but not respond?
1 Answers
CarPlay can charge but not respond possibly due to the following reasons: Reason 1: USB debugging is not enabled on the phone. Solution: Restore the phone to factory settings and reconnect it to see if it can connect. If it still fails to connect, you may need to visit a 4S store for inspection. Reason 2: The phone data cable might be damaged or broken. Foreign objects or surface oxidation on the phone data cable plug or USB plug can also affect CarPlay connection. Solution: Replace the phone data cable and clean any foreign objects. Reason 3: The contact metal piece in the external USB port of the vehicle's head unit fails to maintain good contact with the USB. Long-term use of the head unit's USB port may cause loosening, and over time, oxidation may occur, leading to poor internal plug contact. Solution: In this case, try plugging and unplugging the cable's two plugs several times. If the issue persists, the USB port may need to be replaced. Reason 4: There is an issue with the system inside the vehicle's head unit. Solution: Restore the head unit system to factory settings. Note that before restoring to factory settings, important information inside the system should be saved to avoid file loss during the process. Reason 5: There is a problem with CarPlay in the phone. Solution: Turn off the phone and then turn it on again to retry. CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc., which seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. CarPlay only supports iPhone models with a Lightning interface. Although the iPad also supports this interface, Apple has not listed the iPad as a CarPlay-supported hardware device.
