CarPlay won't read messsges on a Honda CR-V 2026

Has anyone identified a fix? I just bought a 2026 CRV EX-L and have the same issue. I’ll go to text via CarPlay and Siri will say “what you do wanna” and then cuts out and glitches out. This is super frustrating as having CarPlay was a big win for this car for me. Everything else in CarPlay works, just not sending texts :/

Some additional info.... My wife and I have identical iPhone 16 plus (except for color)... both are on IOS 18.6.2... her phone works fine in her 2025 CR-V Sport L, mine does not work in my 2026 CR-V TrailSport I have not yet bothered to cross check the 2 phones, but my gut is telling me this is a Honda problem. Can anyone else chime in with a 2026 CR-V with an iPhone that works with any version of IOS 18 ?? Thanks

I forgot... we both have CR-V Hybrids

Same issue and I’m just as eager for a fix as the 100’s maybe 1000’s of similar CRV owner complaints I’ve discovered since we bought our 2026 last week. Doesn’t speak well for Apple nor Honda. They build up the ‘great wireless Apple Car Play connectivity’ but don’t tell you about the issue…

I am having same issue with apple car play in my Honda CRV 2026 trail sport hybrid.

Not sure if it is Apple or Honda but the sale representative at Stouffville Honda. Ontario, Canada said two days after my purchase that he had similar complaint from other customers. But at the time of purchase he did not mentioned the issue BECAUSE he is most experienced sales representative in that dealership.

Prior to leaving dealership on the car pick up day, I mentioned the same issue to him but he brushed me off saying I have to update my apple IOS to latest version.

i went home did full iOS update but did not fix the issue. I called back to the dealer and he said he will call back to book an appointment after speaking to Service tech. But no call back.

i feel I got cheated. I wish I wouldn’t have drove off from the dealership that day.

Wireless CarPlay is important function for me as I travel a lot for work.

this does not show good about Apple neither Honda. Ultimately consumers are suffering

Has anyone found a solution to this problem!? I wish I would’ve known this was a problem before purchasing my vehicle. It is so frustrating and seriously impacts the value of the vehicle. I bought the car and within two days I was in the service center. All they could say was “it was a known problem and they have no solution for it yet”. They performed a hard reset just to seem like they did something but they knew it wasn’t going to fix the issue. It is seriously discouraging!!

I was not aware of the problem either. When I called the dealership a couple of days later-after reading the owners manual and scoured the internet-he said he was not aware of the problem….Hard to believe! Hopefully someone will come up with a fix!!!

I have the same issue on my 2026 CRV Hybrid that I recently picked up. I'm scheduled to take it in next week. Did you have any luck getting it fixed? My salesman said that he runs through the functions with all new owners and I was the first one to have this problem. Although I see it's a common issue when I google the problem. I can't find anyone who has said that it was resolved. I have an IPhone 13 Pro.

Same issue. My Iphone 14 pro max worked fine on my 2024 CRV and I just upgraded to a 2026 CRV and now my messaging on car play only works intermittently but all the other apps like audible, waze, apple maps etc work fine. This is annoying because I'm in sales and in my car a lot and need my messages.

It may read and reply a couple of times but then later if another text comes in, it starts to read it and then cuts out or is completely silent and the siri circle thing is on the screen but it's completely silent.

Can you share the link where you ordered your adapter from? It's sad the money I am paying for a car that won't let me hear my text messages. On my long commute home, it's how I can communicate. SO ANNOYING!

Can you please send us a picture of the device you purchased? Or better yet, the Amazon link? I have a '26 CR-V with wireless bluetooth and am willing to try the device you recommended. Would love to see it. Thank you in advance!

is there a way to ask apple to comment on this. I were Honda I would be all over them.

Samezies.

a new CR V SPORT HYBRID. And an iPhone 15 pro max.

Brand new 2026 Honda CRV and applecar play connects however can’t text, it brings Siri up but then disconnects and can’t hear or text.

same thing with 2026 CR-V TrailSport Hybrid and a wireless iPhone 16 plus IOS 18.6.2
