Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

I had to buy a Samsung phone for now. Until Apple fixes this . As I need my maps every day for work very frustrating I had to buy another phone thanks to Apple

I tried all tips and recommendations. The problem with CarPlay is a failure of IOS 18 and iOS 18.01 updates that @Apple needs to fix.

I suggest first removing your car from the Bluetooth connections on your iPhone and then forgetting it in the settings under General > CarPlay. After that, try pairing again. If that doesn’t work, resetting the network settings on your phone can help clear any connectivity issues.You might also find this guide helpful:

My experience is that after up the iOS 18 and 18.0.1 Siri cannot read WhatsApp messages in CarPlay and can’t identify groups.

I read all the suggestions in here but nobody had this issue and therefore, no one suggested any solution.

anyone ?

thanks

My CarPlay won't work and gets stuck in a loop. I plug in my iPhone, it says CarPlay is connected, I click the CarPlay icon on my car screen and it goes black. Then it will disconnect, go back to the Home Screen on my car, reconnect, go black, and so on and so on. And I just recently updated to 18.1 and it still doesn't work. Please fix this!

I had the same issue as most everyone else posting here. I managed to fix my '23 Acura MDX and, now, everything is back to working properly.

1. Go into your iPhones settings and turn off everything related to CarPlay and restart the iPhone.
2. Do a factory reset on your car's screen.
3. Go back to the iPhone and reactivate CarPlay.
4. Back to the car's CarPlay set-up menu: When prompted, select Forget This Device.
5. Then, re-sync your iPhone to CarPlay.

I’m experiencing very similar issues!

I have an iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.0.1, and my car is a 2021 Santa Fe using wireless CarPlay.

Here are the problems I’ve been facing:

1. Music plays in mono.
2. The forward and backward buttons on the steering wheel don’t work.
3. Sometimes navigation has no sound.
4. Audio transmission occasionally cuts in and out.

Sometimes these issues suddenly resolve, but they don’t stay fixed for long.

Have you found any solutions?

I turned my wifi and bluetooth off and it finally worked

I had the same issue - couldn’t connect via cable on IOS 18. It worked when I turned VPN off.

Yup. 2018 s5 audi not working at all after upgrade.

I have checked on my settings on car play and voice control was already off. Toyota Corolla

I turned "Vocal Shortcuts" Off , and everything works fine now. Apple needs to fix this.

Turn off the vocal shortcuts and it will fix your issue.

Same car same phone same problem. Totally agree I'm so frustrated.

I saw a video on YouTube telling me to turn off voice command in accessibility and it’s been working fine ever since. So far so good
