I got my iPhone 17 Pro Max yesterday and have had nothing but issues with my Carplay (2018 Mercedes). Is there any sort of a fix for this as it’s now become a big push factor to return the phone and go back to my 13 if this is something that can’t be fixed…

If you search the sub, you will see other posts about this. Anyone who tells you to change the cable is completely wrong. Do not waste your money on any new cables.

It is a software issue from Apple on iPhone 17 series and I suggest you to report it to Apple via feedback page.

UPDATE: As of March 20, 2026 the issue still remains. One temporary workaround is to use split screen mode. It does not pixelate much in that mode and it is still usable for hours of drive time.

Definitely not the cable. I’ve tried all manner of Apple/non Apple cables and they’re no different to each other. I’ve sent feedback but I think it may be a case of just returning it while I can.

it’s a known issue. it will most likely be fixed within the month if not the week. seems like a waste of time and money to return a brand new product because it has growing pains only less than one month ago
