Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

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

This is the same issue I'm experiencing. Bluetooth connection between my iPhone 15 Pro and Toyota Multimedia System pairs okay, but Apple Car Play fails to enable and will only work if I connect my phone via USB. This only started happening after updating to IOS 18.0.1 - very frustrating having spent quite a bit of time re-pairing and restarting both devices.

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 have iPhone 16pro max with iOS 18 and the sound quality is disgusting. Radio quality. Also, I loose my satellite radio when plugging in to CarPlay, music and audio just shuts off constantly. Have to unplug wire and reconnect. There are times when I’ll be in CarPlay mode and all of a sudden everything just switches automatically back to my satellite radio without warning. This is a major flaw in this update that needs immediate attention. It’s not safe when you depend on a hands-free experience when driving, especially when using maps or hands-free Communication.
