iPhone 13 pro Apple CarPlay crashing as soon as music plays (Apple Music)

I had the same issue with my 2020 Ranger. Today after work I decided to go to CarPlay in settings, I clicked the sync 3 option and then clicked “forget this car”. For some reason this worked for me. Give it a try.

Hello! I did this. Went to Setting> Music App> Equalizer >> change it for other not Late night and got fix. Even Spotify is working. Hope that work for others.

Spotify & Apple Music finally working!

iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 15

• Same issue with an Audi
• Deleted the myAudi app - spotify and apple music work fine now via apple carplay
• Did the EQ thing too

Hope that helps!

I’m on the iPhone 13 Pro 128GB model and CarPlay will not even work for me at all. The day I got my iPhone 13 Pro (9/25) it worked just fine but last night when I went to plug it in to the car, it wouldn’t work. I spent about a good hour trying to figure out why it wasn’t working. I even did everything possible to get it to work and no luck. Hopefully they can get this fixed.

Can someone let me know if they figured out a fix for on a Lexus? My EQ is automatically off and it still won’t work.

thanks!

This happened to me. All I had to do was turn off EQ in settings

Having the same issue with my iPhone 13 Pro. I can’t play Apple Music because it crashes when I use CarPlay. Hope Apple fixes this bug.

I have been having this same exact issue with my 2020 Range Rover Evoque and my new iPhone 13 Pro.

My iPhone 12 Pro would connect perfectly fine, even after the iOS 15 update, and play my Apple Music without any issues.

With the iPhone 13 Pro, I would plug it into the USB port, CarPlay would display when plugged in but crash as soon as I hit the play button to play music.

I also changed the equalizer (EQ) from “Late Night” to “Off” and it now works!!!!! Thrilled!!

Same issue here car: 2016 A45 AMG - Car play worked perfectly with my iphone x - upgraded to 13 pro and no longer even shows up as charging let alone carplay. Any help greatly appreciated. Do i need a special adapter?

Hi, we just had the same issue on the iPhone 13 pro max. We went into settings, under music, and turned off the EQ. It was in late night mode but we turned it off and it immediately worked fine. Before doing this, Apple car play would come up and operate fine until clicking the music and it would crash. Now everything works as it should.

Apparently they fixed a bug for Audio in CarPlay in 15.0.2

According to Apple:

This update includes bug fixes for your iPhone:

• Photos saved to your library from Messages could be deleted after removing the associated thread or message
• CarPlay may fail to open audio apps or disconnect during playback

Turn off 5 G CarPlay doesn’t work with it yet!

I have the new iPhone 13 Pro Max and I drive a 2020 Nissan Altima. CarPlay kept crashing. I updated to the new IOS 15.0.2 and now it works.

I turned off the equalizer and it works now!

My EQ was off on my 13 Pro Max but I turned on, “late night” and my CarPlay started working! I turned it off again and my CarPlay continued to work. Thank you to whoever figured this out! I have a 2019 Terrain.

IPhone 13 carplay doesn't work in a 2021 range rover

I was having the exact same problem as you. I went to EQ in settings and mine was set on “off”. I switched it to literally anything else and it fixed it right away!! My music is now playing and it doesn’t crash.

I am having the exact same problem with my new 800$ phone, crashing anytime I try to play music through CarPlay. It plays through wireless Bluetooth, and allows the other apps like audio books, maps etc to work but crashes every time I try to play music. What a POS.

Settings -> General -> About -> Change your device name

Follow the steps can solve this problem

upgraded to the iPhone 13 pro yesterday (running 15.1.1) and CarPlay icon isn’t even showing up. Tried every troubleshoot I could find, including all the resets, doesn’t work.

This just started happening to me with my aftermarket Pioneer MVH-1400NEX and iPhone 13 Pro Max. But only since I updated to iOS 15.5. The EQ setting toggle fix worked for me! Thanks to whoever originally discovered this solution!

Carplay is now Crashing for me on iOS 15.5. with BMW OS7. It mostly crashes when I got not 4g connection on initial connect. (Car is sometimes in underground Garage). So as soon as 4G hits, Carplay is gone until device reboot. Rebooting the car radio won't do it though. Let's see if the EQ settings do the trick.

So we just got 13’s a couple of days ago and prior to these we had XR’s. My husband has a Boss stereo in his truck and has the aux cable connected so he can plug the phone in and charge it while using CarPlay. XR worked great but now with the 13 it crashes and won’t even charge. We don’t have the Apple Music app on the phones because we don’t use it. Do we have to redownload the Apple Music app to do the EQ thing still or has it been fixed and we are having a new issue?
