After updating my iPhone to the latest iOS 26, I'm running into a problem where my aux cord won't connect to my car. It seems like my phone isn't recognizing the cord at all, despite the fact that it works perfectly fine with my friends' phones. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Have you checked if your in-car stereo needs an update? Sometimes the head unit can have compatibility issues with new phone software. It’s worth looking into!
Just in case, do you have a VPN installed? Even if you’re not actively using it, removing the VPN configuration might help. And don’t forget to check the power port for any dirt or dust that could be causing issues!
I don’t have a VPN, but I’ll definitely check the port for any debris. Thanks for the tip!

I drive a 2011 Toyota, so I can't update anything on my stereo. It's pretty much stuck in its current setup.
