If you want to prevent CarPlay from connecting to your iPhone without Face ID, Touch ID or Passcode entry, then we are here to help.
When you connect Apple CarPlay system to your iPhone for the first time you’re asked whether you want to Allow CarPlay to access your iPhone and its data. If you hit the Allow button, CarPlay is given permanent access to your device and can access your device even while it is locked.
From Settings, you can configure Apple CarPlay to only access iPhone while the user has unlocked the device. So every time you connect the USB cable to your device iPhone will ask you to unlock the device first instead of giving CarPlay access to your device and data.
Remember when you disable the Allow CarPlay While Locked toggle, your iPhone will need to be unlocked all the time while it is connected to the CarPlay system.
