That is why you will want to upgrade your iPhone to a recent version. If you cannot get Apple CarPlay started in your car, it could be because Apple CarPlay is not enabled on your phone. If the Apple virtual assistant is not enabled, or you donat have the correct permissions on your iPhone, CarPlay may not work. If your vehicle supports a wireless connection with Apple CarPlay, check on your iPhone to ensure that it is not in Airplane mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check to see if you have turned on Airplane Mode, which blocks your iPhone from making any wireless connections. If you do decide to make wireless connections, turn Bluetooth and WiFi on in the settings of your iPhone.

This trick works in cases where the Bluetooth accessories were previously paired to the iPhone, but will now fail to automatically connect to the iOS phone. Usually, this trick helps when your Bluetooth connection between the iPhone and the cars infotainment system is messed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/is-iphone-7-still-good-in-2022\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"24092\">Is Iphone 7 Still Good In 2022<\/a>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If your iPhones Bluetooth is still unable to detect and pair devices, or your iPhones Bluetooth connectivity is failing &#8212; say, you paired the iPhone to your cars infotainment system, but it is losing connectivity periodically &#8212; you might need to reboot the iPhone to resolve the Bluetooth pairing issues.
