iOS 17.2 Fixes Bug Preventing Wireless Charging From Working in Some Vehicles

[dampfnudel]

Mt Lexus LX 570 has an OEM BR player with the rear seat entertainment.. Yet, no form of carplay whatsoever!

Lexus doesn’t offer CarPlay?!?

Have had intermittent charging issues in Tesla Model Y with iPhone 15 since day 1. iPhone 13 worked flawlessly with the wireless pad in the car. Hoping this does the trick.

I’m curious what the cause was. Of course Apple probably won’t give us a technical explanation why only the 15/15 Pro/15 Pro Max had that problem.

Glad to hear that the issue is fixed

The last beta made my 14 Pro not charge in my Chevrolet Bolt, this new update fixed the problem.

Otherwise, CarPlay and everything still works fine.

I just wish they can fix the Books app syncing properly between the Mac and iPhone now.

I make plenty of Bluetooth calls. No issue, currently.

First World Problem, but my 2024 Chevy Blazer was one of the vehicles affected. My 15Pro stopped wirelessly charging with iOS 17.1 update. I was about to take it in to the Chevy dealership to be serviced. Hopefully this will fix the issue.

Most likely the Blu-Ray player only plays on the rear seat entertainment screens.

I'm pretty sure most mini-vans and 3 row SUVs that have entertainment screens tend to have DVD/Blu-Ray players that only work in the back.

Our relatively ancient 2013 Infiniti plays DVDs on the front screen too, but only if the parking brake is applied. Otherwise, it will only play on the rear screens.

It's an old-school manual parking brake that you apply via a pedal in the footwell, and it need only be lightly tapped to allow the video to start playing up front.

Since getting my iPhone Pro 15 Max, and getting a USB to USB-C adapter, my iPhone only connects to my car about half the time. Works fine with my other car, but just one car it won't connect. It charges so there's definitely a connection but it won't connect to Carplay and the car doesn't recognize the phone as connected. Same cables for both cars. Anyone have similar issues? The car it works in is a Hyundai, the car having problems is a Genesis. Same manufacturer so the inconsistency is surprising.

I have an iPhone 13 and a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime. My phone STILL wont charge in the Qi tray. The charger works fine on an iPhone XS.

They didn't on the LX 570 (2020) ... The new LX 600s have it..

Toyota really took their sweet time, even with their luxury division. The writing was on the wall years ago that consumers wanted CarPlay in their vehicles, but Toyota had to be stubborn.

Yup! Tech has always been their Achilles' heel to an otherwise amazing lineup.

I’m having no luck with my 15 pro max charging in my 2021 e-class Mercedes. My 14 pro Max worked perfectly but my 15 doesn’t. I even tried it in a different Mercedes and it was the same. Taking the case off doesn’t work either. I think the camera bump is too high for it to rest properly on the charging mats…either that or the coil is in a different position in the phone than it was in the 14.
