CarPlay not working since iOs 18.3

Hey TeeKayOz,

Do you have a VPN?

if so, turn it off, worked for my Amarok across the ditch.

carplay not working after new iOS update. Comon apple atop doing these ****** updates or you want money for using carplay

which Intelligence Settings? could you please share with us?

Makes me glad I drive a pristine 2011 Saab 9-5 (10,700 miles) that does not have CarPlay support.

Apple provides the tools for auto manufacturers to stay current with CarPlay implementations in their vehicles. BMW may not be motivated to do this for an 8-year-old vehicle. Whether there is something about your 2017 X7 implementation due to its age and CarPlay compatibility may be better answered by the BMW Regional factory service rep than by your service department. You might escalate this issue with BMW.

Apple, being the enigma it is, could have changed something in CarPlay in iOS 18.3 that has caused your issues too. See what your local Apple Store manager has to say and if Apple Support can escalate this to the CarPlay team.

Hi, so I’ve managed to get mine to work wirelessly and with a wire. I didn’t have a VpN as others have mentioned but I reset my network settings on my iPhone and turned my roaming data on(no idea why it was off) Not sure which worked but it’s now working :) good luck

Thank you so much your response literally fixed my issue. I was freaking out because I have a long road trip tomorrow and I don’t know how to get there and I need my CarPlay to look at my GPS because in California you can get a ticket for holding your phone so thank you so much

Mine stopped connecting to CarPlay since the 18.3.1 update. Went through countless cycles of unparing and re-pairing. It finally connected again for me after forgetting the car but also going into my WiFi list and forgetting that network.

Going back to an Android this is ridiculous!!!

First and last ever iPhone for me!!

tried what Apple told me the last time this happened and it has not worked!

why fix what was not broken!!!

Any clues iPhone 13 trying to connect to 2022 Suzuki Swift!

my phone works perfectly in my husband’s Subaru Forester but not in my car

I had the Car Play connection problem to my GLC MB with IP15PMX. It was connecting and appear a while than vanishing. It took my days. I reset/delete my phone many times.

Eventually made the phone factory settings but did not download from Icloud.

I have download entire files to my pc in the phone and transferred the WP an other phone than redownloaded.

Than CarPlay started to worked well.

But....

As soon as make an upgrade to 18.3.1 😩😩 came back to beginning.

A setting in the phone makes this trouble but what???

Has anyone had any luck? I just leased a new Altima 2024 SR and I can’t connect to carPlay. When connecting via wire the car recognizes the phone but the phone cannot recognize the carplay. The carplay connection appears for 1/2 a second then disappears from phone.

I've had this problem with my BMW now and then whenever Apple upgrades. Try This: I have learned that I've had to delete my device from my BMW, reset the network settings on my iPhone and reconnect, and then it works. Apple upgrades are getting more glitchy. A lot goes down apart from Car Play.

UPDATE

Just worked with my Audi dealer who suggested I go into MMI>Phone (not Phone Apps).

I was then able to get my iPhone 16 (18.4) recognized, paired, and working.

Hope this is helpful to anyone with VW/Audi.

I turned off the Content and privacy restrictions

i found this information on an Apple chat group

I will have not yet downloaded 18.4 very dubious after all of the other updates as it knocks out CarPlay

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,
