Wired CarPlay not working with iPhone 17 Pro Max in Nissan Juke

Hello! I have a very very weird problem. So I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and I want to connect to Apple CarPlay using a wired connection because that car is a 2020 model (Nissan Juke exactly) and before some iOS updates it worked perfectly with any cable (a USB A-USB C one, Samsung cable or Beats cable). I want to connect with the Beats one and now it doesn't work by no chance (if i plug the cable into my phone with the USB C connector upside down it does show me the "if i want carplay" message, but after pressing yes it doesn't do anything. With a 16 Pro or Pro Max it works perfectly fine. I need to admit that I tried this cable with my phone also on a 2025 model, MG eHS exactly and it worked perfectly). I tried to connect with a Samsung cable and it got "better" but absolutely NOT perfect (when I plug the cable into my phone, firstly, the "if I want carplay" message glitches on the car's infotainment screen, but after waiting a bit for the glitch to stop I pressed yes, it ACTUALLY showed the Apple CarPlay on the screen, but after some second or a minute, the carplay dissapears first, then the charging stops WITHOUT unplugging the cable from my phone. After some seconds, the phone starts charging again, the carplay shows, but after another few seconds the carplay dissapears again and the phone stops charging AGAIN and this cycle repeats). I'm a so concerned because there is no chance that my phone's charging port is broken (for example if i plug the cable into my phone and I plug the USB A port into my computer with the same Beats cable, my computer does detect my phone and I can see my phone in the File Explorer). Also the Beats cable, the Samsung Cable or the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Car's USB port none of them can be broken as all of them works perfectly fine with another iPhones.


I tried the Beats cable with a Nissan Qashqai 2019 MY, no success. But I tried with the Samsung cable and it works perfectly fine.


I tried a USB C to USB C Beats cable together with an MG S9 PHEV MY2026 and it worked perfectly fine.


I searched up on the internet that to use a USB C to USB A converter and the original Apple cable that came with the phone and the problem should be fixed. I bought one, the SAME problem with the Samsung cable happens.


I reset the newtork settings, even all settings (from the transfer menu thing) and it still does the same problem.


I tried to uninstall Youtube Music, Spotify, installed the Waze Normal Version from Waze Beta Version(i had the beta version and after I tried the normal version) still DIDN'T WORK in the Juke.


I tried another Samsung cables with the Juke, still didn't work.


I'm so so sorry for the long explanation but I was supposed to give all the context to prove that none of my phone's charging port, any Beats/Samsung Cable or the Apple CarPlay USB port are broken.


I don't know what should I take into consideration because in my opinion this case is so so so so complicated and I don't know what can I do next to finally get my CarPlay fixed.


If someone can help me with a reply it will help me A LOT to find out what's going on.


Please let me know if you have more questions about this complex case. Have a great day in advance!

The thing that stands out is your observation that if you turn the cable connector over it behaves differently. That means that the cable is defective: USB-C cables can be plugged in with either side up, so if yours behaves differently if you flip it over that points to the cable as the offender.
