Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

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.

Any word from Apple on a fix for this?!!!! I need my GPS!!!!!!!!!!

2019 Chevy Colorado, everything worked fine until the update. Now it just crashes the infotainment system

Yep have a 2024 Blazer and the screen goes black when changing volume in CarPlay smh

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.

ITS THE CABLE! Needs to be a USB to USB-C cable that does DATA as well as recharges. NOT likely you have one lying around in a drawer with the other random cables. My IT guy figured it out. Sent me to BestBuy to get said cable (Insignia, 3.3 feet, $19.99). Plugged it in and it worked like a charm. On BOTH vehicles. So happy. Spread the word! ITS THE CABLE!

so I have a temp fix that works until Apple gets a patch

go to settings display and brightness and scroll down to auto lock and click never and make sure your screen is on after plugging into CarPlay your screen will stay on continuously but all controls will work, it seems to glitch when screen shuts off , hope this helps

Having the same issue after updating iOS 18. The sound quality becomes like radio when I switch off the screen and I need to forget the device and reconnect it all over again like a new device. Apple better fix this issue

This is what worked for me.

Hyundai Ioniq, CarPlay was fine last night on iOS 18. Phone updated overnight and car play stopped working completely. I reset my car unit, forgot the car in CarPlay, turned everything off, etc nothing worked. CarPlay didn’t even see my car. Resetting the network settings brought everything back.

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 and I have issues with the wired connection as well.
