Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

I have the same. When I use Apple CarPlay in my toyota bij cable. And I make a phone call it is not possible anymore to stop the call. I can also not change to other app’s. I can do nothing anymore on the screen.

Sound problem in carplay after iOS 18 update, when music is played, the iPhone screen turns on for some reason, the quality of the music becomes like the sound of the radio, and when the screen is turned off, the music stops. I tested the ios 17 version, the sound is clear and good like before, after the 18 update, there was a problem and I can't connect with the cable, I'm connected with bluetooth, there's no problem with the cable, I'm waiting for your answer. Thanks

The other thing to try- my phone now has a VPN more work requires in order to use email and teams- now that I have that enabled- if I'm using express VPN on top of that- closing is seems to allow carplay to work.

This worked for me! I’m using a wireless CarPlay adapter and everything is working fine except for a short lag probably because of the wireless connectivity!

Thank you so much I think this resolved the issue

Fails to connect sound via Bluetooth intermittently on my Honda 2023 CR-V after updating to IOS 18. Video connects every time. Sometimes disconnecting and re-connecting via Carplay settings gets sound connection working. No issues at all with my 2021 Honda Accord Carplay.

my apple car play also has issues after iOS 18 update, map navigation voice works fine, but music plays from phone speakers sometimes and no sound at all other times, only music played through Bluetooth works. Tried different t cables but same result.

I recently updated my iPhone 15 Pro to IOS 18. Since then, I have nothing but problems with my phone. The camera is zooming in and out on its own and won't take pictures. The flashlight goes on without prompting. It will switch to voice recording on texts without prompting. CarPlay music isn't working either. The music plays from one speaker, then turns off. When restarted, the music then plays from the phone, while appearing on my car screen and reacting to my touch to play or pause. I'm in constant reboot mode foR my phone. IOS 18 is a nightmare!

Apple Needs to issue a fix for whatever bugs this IOS 18 update has.

This iso 18.0.1 did not fix the apple car play problems . I had Chevy look at the car and they confirmed it was to do with the update Apple released. I can’t believe that Apple has not reached out to me about this problem. This is very disappointing in Apple . Apple please fix CarPlay

Mine too! Wireless CarPlay no longer working with my Skoda Karoq and iPhone 13 Pro. Works on the cable, but not wireless. Have tried removing device from car and re-setting up. Have force re-started the phone and updated with the 18.01 patch update. Skoda screen says cannot connect or disconnects as soon as I pull the cable. Infuriating!

Same for me. CarPlay WhatsApp not working properly! Can’t answer messages , can’t skip. Have to play one by one - driving me crazy ! All started since iOS 18

iPhone 14 Pro

car is VW TIGUAN 2020

connection by usb cable

I’m still new to this forum however I turned off Voice shortcuts using a brand new, iPhone 16 compatible was released right after the update and everything is working fine except for a little lag, but that is because of the wireless adapter.

I still haven’t tried it with a cord yet, I guess I’m too lazy lol

Did that whole jazz doesn’t work. Did everything imaginable, however, turning off voice shortcuts, as suggested by another person fixed my issue, except for the lag using the wireless adapter. Still a little bit quirky at 95% spot on.

iPhone 12 (iOS 18.01) and Toyota Corolla 2020 via wired connection. (Corolla 2020 modells support wired CarPlay only) After upgrade iOS 18 something went wrong with CarPlay 18. All of CarPlay functions are working fine except phone calls. Both of incoming, and outgoing calls are killing the CarPlay 18 in my car. If I initiating or receiving calls, all CarPlay functions dying. Can not break the call, can not finish it, Waze screen breaks, Spotify stops playing. Car screen is out of action when the call is active. After the end of call I need to wait cc. 30-40 seconds, and CarPlay is coming back. (or not) :-)

Removed the Car System from the Phone, disconnected, reconnected, restarted, reseted, so I danced all of rain-dance cases. :-) Apple suggested to rename the Phone, reinitiate the connection, but there is no change. Any other idea guys?

Many thanks in advance.

Same configuration and car. CarPlay shows up in the media options but selecting it does nothing and switches to the Bluetooth audio player rather than the Apple dash. It only does this when adding the car and once done (i.e. leaving the car and returning later) ‘forgets’ CarPlay and only shows Bluetooth media.

Previously everything would just work.

Mine is working now. My issue was CarPlay no longer working wirelessly. After trying all the suggestions on here, I sat in my car - pressing all options! I tried to use my car as a hotspot (I have no data plan active). My phone connected and told me there was no internet. I turned off the WiFi connection on the car’s screen. I then went back to trying to connect my phone to CarPlay. The CarPlay screen on the car said I needed to use the car’s WiFi and to press okay to do so. I pressed the okay button and hallelujah! Wireless CarPlay connected. So, it was something to do with needing to refresh my car’s system WiFi???
