To turn off Apple CarPlay on an iPhone, there are two main methods:
- Forget the Car in Settings:
- Open the Settings app on the iPhone.
- Go to General > CarPlay.
- Tap on the car's name/device you want to disconnect.
- Tap "Forget This Car" and confirm by tapping "Forget." This will stop CarPlay from connecting to that vehicle.
- Disable CarPlay through Restrictions:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
- Enable Content & Privacy Restrictions if not already on.
- Tap Allowed Apps.
- Toggle off CarPlay. This disables CarPlay entirely on the iPhone.
Additionally, if connected wirelessly, turning off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on the iPhone will disconnect CarPlay. Also, disconnecting the USB cable or switching to a charging-only USB port can prevent CarPlay activation. There is no simple exit button for CarPlay inside the iPhone; these methods are how to prevent or stop CarPlay connection effectively.
