Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

Mine problem is really strange. After updating to iOS 18 (iPhone 13) it plays one second of a podcast, then mutes. If I touch the podcast icon, it plays, but only in mono and at very reduced volume. I also can't switch from podcast to radio if the phone is plugged in. It's not a cable issue - I bought a new one. But whatever, apple needs to issue an update, stat!

iphone 15 pro update to ios18，carplay sound not working ，sound only be played on my iphone，my car is honda civic 19。我国庆还要出去自驾旅游，没有声音怎么导航？苹果现在是怎么回事？这么基础的功能都不测试就上线了吗？

I never had vocal shortcut on.

My car Cadillac XT4 no longer connects using my phone cable. I had an 11. Purchased the 16 and haven’t been able to use CarPlay since . Can connect via Bluetooth to play music. Will not even charge my phone but other phones not on iOS 18 can connect and charge. Tried updating software, car system says my software is up to date. Honestly I want my 11 back. This has given me a headache. Not being able to charge my phone could leave me stranded.

I found what the fix was for my problem. Shut off Vocal Shortcuts. My specific problem was either my car's audio would not play music through the car system, but instead the music would start through the iPhone speaker. Also, sometimes, the quality of the audio would switch from the car's normally better quality to more of a radio-type quality. I shut off Vocal Shortcuts and now everything works fine again.

Iphone 14, can't hang up calls. Cant select maps, drops car play and resets. Losing calls. It was better on 17 but 18 is unusable. I need car play for my job and it making life very difficult

Sahil

Did exactly as you instructed, turned off Voice Control in settings and fixed everything.

Turn off "Vocal Shortcuts" see if that helps. It fixed mine.

I called apple and they said I hand to wait for a specialist to call me back so I waited for him to call me and he said there was nothing wrong with iOS 18 it was my car and I should go to Chevy . So I went to Chevy and they said there is nothing wrong with the car . The specialist just blew me off and was no help at all

Just bought a 2024 Honda Civic Touring. Updated to iOS 18.0 and now wireless CarPlay doesn't work... Disconnects then freaks out !

Apple please fix this ASAP!!

carplay after update ios 18 do not work with iphone 14 pro max !

Me to still not working I tried all the thing listed here and none of them have worked

Thank you for your comment but it didn’t work for me. @Apple can you fix this with an update fixing al problems happened after iOS 18 and 18.01 (which I have) updtates?

Update ****My connection to CarPlay came back today. I have not been able to connect since I changed from iPhone 11 to the 16. Today a message came up asking me to accept terms and conditions for using CarPlay appeared on my car screen (Cadillac) I agreed, it loaded and connected without issue.

i have my IPhone 15 updated with iOS 18.0.1 and the Apple CarPlay is not working in my Mazda car. Every time I start the car, the carplay doesn’t connet through bluetooth. If I delete the phone and connect it manually, it works but after I turn off the car and start it again, the same happens. The Carplay doesn’t work by bluetooth.
