Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

Check out “Vocal shortcuts” under accessibility and turn it off, it solved my issue

Still doesn't work. Fix this Apple.

Thanks it worked!

Have you tried turning off "Vocal Shortcuts"?

Apple car play worked fine with iOS 17.6.1. After I updated to iOS 18.1 Apple car play stopped working. Apple needs to come up with a fixed.

after connecting CarPlay, turn off your mobile data for a sec and turn it back on .. it might work

it works sometimes with me !

I bought me a wireless Apple CarPlay adapter. It works super well. I would recommend getting one to get back CarPlay to work.

Premier wireless adapter

apple CarPlay and android auto

I have bought a wireless adapter off Amazon and see what happens.

Same issue ( Both google maps and Apple Maps) I am facing for last 3 weeks after updating my 13pro max in to ios 18. Also ther are lots of other people face same issue in our Skoda community.

Tried multiple ways to fix with the Apple support team, but nothing worked. Just the Support team keep on transferring call to one another.

This people are least bothered on this, other wise they may sort this issue very quickly.

Now a days ‘’ The best ever’’ Create a false Statement. After a long 8 Years Thinking of going back to Android.

Wireless adapter works.

Carplay now working with IOS 18. I posted a few days ago about my phone not working with CarPlay. I forgot all phones in my car’s system. Forgot connection in my phone and restarted my phone. I no nothing about car computers but I felt like the computer needed to “restart” the way I did my phone. I did not try connecting my phone to CarPlay again for two days. I was still connecting via Bluetooth to the car’s software so that I could listen to music . Decided to try CarPlay again on day 3. CarPlay disclaimer came up to accept terms and conditions. Has connected with no issues last two days. If you try it and it works, please let me know so I know It’s not a fluke.

I had this same issue and have been trying to figure it out for a little over a week now. I was able to finally get mine fixed by turning off my ExpressVPN prior to plugging in the cable and it works now, but only if the VPN is turned off. So, if you have a separate VPN I suggest turning it off and giving it a try. I hope this can save people some headache!

Update!

I turned off voice shortcuts as somebody suggested, and everything is working fine with a wireless CarPlay adapter!

The only downfall with the adapter is there is a bit of a lag ~ I still have to try a regular USB to C cord. But I believe that this fix the issue.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, "my voice command" setting in "accessibility" is / was already turned off. I happen to have two different Hondas with a couple of years apart. The failing 2023 CRV just got an update a few days before IOS 18 came out. Once IOS 18 was installed on my iPhone, I started seeing intermittent audio connectivity failures. Mapping applications (Waze, Apple Maps, and Google Maps)and I Heart Radio launch fine, just no or very low sound volume. Many times, I can go into Apple Car Play, disable and re-enable my IPhone, and many times it re-connects. Very strange.
