VPN is blocking Apple Car Play
Posted Sun, 19 Oct 2025 03:12:24 GMT by Alan Knight
Hi Alison. I had the same problem. Took me a while to find it was the VPN and all good once I disconnected it. I have a Toyota I am not tech savvy so I'm not sure which one has caused the issue as I had no problem until a few weeks ago

Hello,


Possible Causes

  • Network routing conflict — CarPlay relies on direct local network communication (especially over Wi-Fi or USB), which can be interrupted when VPN routing is active.
  • VPN protection scope — Trend Micro VPN may be redirecting all network traffic, preventing CarPlay from recognizing the iPhone’s local network interface.
  • iOS security behavior — Some iOS versions limit CarPlay connectivity when a system-wide VPN is active.


 

Recommended Solutions

Disable VPN when using CarPlay

  • Open the Trend Micro Mobile Security or Trend Micro VPN app.
  • Turn Web Guard / VPN OFF before connecting to your car.
  • Once CarPlay is connected and functioning, you may re-enable the VPN afterward if needed.
