2024 Lexus ES, iPhone 14 pro max IOS 18.1 driving focus disabled, but my text will no longer come through using CarPlay, all other functions work well. Text messages were working, I didn’t touch anything but due to Apple update it is not longer available. I have removed phone from CarPlay, reset up, turned phone off, removed car from Bluetooth but it does it work wireless anymore. Can anyone help as this is a necessary feature?

See if this helps you --> Send and receive text messages with CarPlay - Apple Support
In my case, I remember opening Settings in CarPlay and turning on the switch for messages with the CarPlay screen active in my car.

My wife had the same issue with her 24 Nissan Pathfinder. I was able to track it down to "face ID required" on her iPhone messaging app. She activated "require face ID" in her texting app so the nosey 11-year-old can't read mom's texts. If you long-press Messages, you will get the option to enable/disable "require face ID." Turn that off, and Carplay will once again read out your texts.
APPLE - Fix this! We should be able to have both enable face ID active on our phone, but when it is in carplay mode, that needs the option to bypass.
Asking Apple to fix anything here is not going to be noticed by anyone at Apple. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't read for user feedback.
