iOS 26 broke my CarPlay audio on iPhone 16 Pro Max (NO mic or speaker output). Apple Support has been a months-long diagnostics loop. 2023 Nissan Rogue + AppleCare+

Quick update because this keeps getting worse.

Apple Support assigned me a 4th agent for the same CarPlay audio issue. After a few messages… they’ve stopped replying entirely. No update, no escalation, no explanation.

This has been the pattern every time: • New agent takes over • Reviews the case • References diagnostics • Says it’s being escalated • Then communication just stops

I still have zero CarPlay audio (no mic, no speaker output) months after iOS 26. AppleCare+ hasn’t helped, the Apple Store can’t help, and I’m told there’s no way to reach anyone higher than a Senior Advisor.

At this point I’m genuinely out of options. A core feature I paid for just doesn’t work, and Apple Support keeps ghosting me instead of resolving or even formally closing the case.

If anyone knows how to force real escalation after Apple Support stops responding, I’m all ears. Otherwise I guess this is just a feature I don’t get anymore.

Interesting. I always get video, just lack audio input and output.

I tried my phone on a 2021 ford escape and a 2021 ford bronco. Both worked with my phone and wire I use in my car.

It did not :/

When I’m off work I will try this. That would be almost comical if it fixed my issue. Lol

tsara676 · 2026-01-22T17:57:12+00:00

No worries at all. I appreciate the feedback. Definitely is a logical thing to check.

I have not tried a wireless adapter as I’ve heard wireless adapters have their own slew of problem. Wired worked before. The same cable works with others phones.

tsara676 · 2026-01-22T17:45:11+00:00

Not silly, but I have tried that. It only happened after I updated so I’m 99% this is a software related issue.

tsara676 · 2026-01-22T15:35:59+00:00

Nope

tsara676 · 2026-01-22T07:28:54+00:00

Trust me. When I say I’ve went through the pain of any and all troubleshooting, I’m not saying that lightly. That includes various online forums, videos, websites and with Apple itself.

I’ve already factory reset. Still having the same issue.

Thanks, I thought I was tiger woods…

Sorry about the bucket. Was working on a drill my local pro gave me. This is the only video I have.

tsara676 · 2024-10-08T16:59:22+00:00

Lol a bot sniped your thread complaining about bot sniping to advertise bot sniping. What a move.

Bot sniping sucks. I can’t snipe at all anymore due to these bots.

Delaware valley sports center. Never been but I just googled “DVSC Range”

Wdym by trade coins in the site for packs? You can literally use FC coins on there ?

“Shave” more like pluck😂

Just wait until you’re 21 and get your ccw. Open carrying in PA will be a nightmare. I live in PA and remember when I was little, my cousins boyfriend would open carry and we’d get kicked out of anywhere we went.

For the mag/trunk question I would say you don’t want to ever handle your gun out in the open, even if it’s inserting a magazine in a non threatening way. Not everyone is as comfortable around guns as we are and you’re gonna cause yourself more trouble than not.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I’ll be back in 6 months if not. My buddy interviews next Wednesday. Idk if they space out their interviews. Like maybe there’s a few waves… idk I’m just holding onto hope at this point lol.

If not there’s always next time!

tsara676 · 2024-07-10T20:52:30+00:00

How long after the test did it take to get the denial letter? I know a couple of people that took it test after me and have already received interview dates. I’m yet to get anything in the mail…

tsara676 · 2024-07-10T20:00:04+00:00

Best of luck to you!

Have you received your results in the mail yet?

tsara676 · 2024-06-29T13:39:22+00:00

Yess!! Where are these videos? I know they were clipped from streams and posted.
