Troubleshooting

If Apple CarPlay isn't showing up in your settings, don't worry, it's not uncommon.

Sometimes, adjusting your region settings can impact the availability and appearance of Apple CarPlay. So, check your region settings to make sure they're correct.

To do this, go to Settings, tap on General, and then select Language & Region. Ensure that your region is set correctly, and if it's not, tap Region and select the correct region or country from the list.

Restarting your iPhone after making the change is a good practice to apply the new region settings effectively.
