I am using iPhone 13 and recently I have updated to iOS 18.0. Since that day, maps are showing blank on the car when I connect through the Apple CarPlay, and a message is displayed after a few minutes on the car screen stating the location information is not available. When I start the car immediately maps are turning to blank on the car display.
iPhone 13, iOS 18
What exactly is the issue you are experiencing with CarPlay? Since you haven't provided specific details about the problem, I recommend trying to reestablish a fresh connection, as this resolves the issue most of the time. Also, ensure that CarPlay is allowed under Content & Privacy Restrictions in your settings. Additionally, you can check out this resource that discusses CarPlay issues: 9 Ways to Fix Apple CarPlay Not Working. It might offer some solutions that apply to your situation. Hope this helps
Yep this is what mine does. IF it works initially, just touching the screen on the phone will cut the sound, my steering wheel controls won’t work to change anything, music is like it’s coming thru a toilet roll at the end of a hallway, and sound keeps dropping out totally for a sec or two every few min.
I have an opposite issue than what people mentioned here. Apple CarPlay works with the USB cable but doesn’t work with Bluetooth (get a connection error message). I have IPhone 12pro and my car is a Toyota Highlander 24. It was working before updating to IOS 18. I tried all possible suggestions but with no luck. I can blame it on Apple.
I still can’t get my Apple car play to work at all and have not had any help from Apple Steve jobs would have had this fixed . I really need Apple CarPlay please fix faster I really use car play as lot . I can’t believe that Apple is not carrying about CarPlay any more . I am going to the Samsung store today to look at a new phone if this is how bad Apple programming is now . Not a happy customer
mkrabill, the exact same thing happened to me using Apple Car Play with my Lexus after updating to iOS 18. My wife's phone still works normally in the Lexus using iOS 17. I ended up following a YouTube video and reverting back to iOS 17, and voila, my phone works with Apple Car Play in the Lexus once again. On the flip side I did not have a backup on my Mac/iTunes of my phone with iOS 17 so I lost all my data/settings etc. I'm working through that issue now as I do have a backup on my iCloud but is with iOS 18. Anyway, I hope I can get everything working normally again.
Never had any of the voice stuff enabled to begin with. Carplay connects, and works for the most part. It is, however, buggy. The steering wheel button to engage Siri doesn't work anymore. Certain popups, like reminder or alarms, at times, cannot be dismissed without using the phone. On iOS 17.x everything worked 100%, 18.01, not so much.
Hello!!! I FOUND A FIX!!!!!!
I was having the exact same problem after updating to IOS 18. I was able to fix it by going into CarPlay (settings>general>carplay) and went to “Forget This Car”. The next time I plugged my phone in, my car and phone prompted me to allow CarPlay and I simply clicked “Allow” and bam! Worked!
We had the same issue for my wife’s 2023 Audi Q5… this video helped. Please watch and apply the entire video and you’ll hopefully be up and running.

Same for me. In one of our cars, it worked for a while and then stopped. In the other car it won't work at all, Vocal shortcuts are not on nor is my VPN. The weird thing is that it looks connected in the car, but only plays through the phone speakers. It will not connect to Bluetooth. It looks like it might connect on the phone for a nanosecond and then immediately back to not connected. How can it look connected on the screen and not be connected to Bluetooth?? I have a road trip coming up and NEED music and maps!
I have tried this reset and it work now this is the solution after you update your iOS from 17 to 18 and above.
iPhone 15 & iOS 18 problems with CarPlay. It connects normally, the sound is heard fine, but after a phone call, the sound is intermittent, so I have to restart the CarPlay!
Same…CarPlay is not working on mine, nor my wife’s phone.
After I updated to iOS 18 my car play goes into a reboot ever time . If I play music is freeze and restarts .
Yes apple please fix this I use car play every day all day very important
