CarPlay not working since iOs 18.3

BMW 7 2017 year. Can play stopped working since iOs 18.2.2. IPhone 15pro

Hoped issue to be fixed with 18.3 but still “Connection cannot be established”.

All steps advised were done. Issue is still there.


Steps performed:

  1. Reset iPhone after update
  2. Reset car entertainment set
  3. Car deleted from Bluetooth connections.
  4. New device added with CarPlay option
  5. Connection cannot be established.


Phone was connected after with only Bluetooth connection without issues and is working properly.


Until iOs 18.2.1 CarPlay was working without issues.


Please advice for solution.

CarPlay worked seemlessly on my 2024 Kia. It now does not now that I’m on 18.3

if they don’t fix this, I might be forced to switch to Android if I want to continue to have navigation functionality while driving.

please fix!!!

Hi to all

since 6 months i was working on and found my problem where is. I have MB GLC180 and my one phone was not connecting via car play and the other did not work also as soon as the ios update was done.

after all steps were done by apple instructed nothing changed.

once i noticed my 2 phones do not connect to the same car and my friends are good; i have suspected on my icloud account. Copied all in the phone to a pc than deleted icloud account and here it is!!! Connected… to test again i entered my i cloud account again to the phone and seen again did not work.

this time i have generated another amd new i cloud account and tested with it. Again!!! Working….

finally the stupid time loss to solve this matter is over.

cheers,
