You must enable Carplay in the infotainment system of your Ioniq before you can use it. Go to setup, then choose Device Connections, then Apple Carplay. Make sure that the checkbox next to “Enable Apple Carplay” is ticked. This will make sure the infotainment software is allowed.

A very common problem is that your USB cable is not properly connected to your Hyundai Ioniq. The cable may be in a damaged state, so you should check that the cable is connected properly and that the wires aren’t damaged. It may lose its effectiveness due to wear and tear, especially if you’ve had the car for a while. In this case, it is best to replace the cable.
Update the software
This is one of the most common reasons why CarPlay stops working on your Hyundai Ioniq. It is very likely that there is an update that needs to be downloaded and installed on your vehicle’s infotainment system in order for it to work properly with CarPlay.
This can be done through Hyundai’s online service center or through a dealer. This may take a few days, so don’t panic if you cannot use CarPlay right away after this process has been completed by Hyundai. You may also be able to install it manually from Apple’s website.
Make sure your car is compatible
Before you can use CarPlay, you must make sure that your Hyundai Ioniq is compatible with it. It is best to consult the official website of Hyundai before purchasing a new car, as it will have all the information you need to know about its compatibility with CarPlay.
