CarPlay not working since iOs 18.3

Same here the update did not fix CarPlay 😡

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!!!

Same here tried all the usual fixes but still not working wirelessly. VERY irritating. Any ideas or has anyone actually fixed the issue? Or do I have to wait for another IOS update to hopefully fix the issue?

UPDATE: My car dealer reset the software to manufacturer settings and Carplay is back on.

In short, Apple's 18.3.1 is creating the problem. This IOS is made for more recent car models. Apple does not perform regression testing to see how a new IOS impacts older models (my model is 2019). It's for us to figure out!

Apple doesn't have the courtesy to let us know ahead of time.

Apple, do better, be better!

Same exact issue with my VW Tiguan. I called Apple support and they're pointing the finger to the automaker. Don't think so...

Hey all,

I have been combing through all the fixes on here, reddit etc. did all the updates, resets etc, nothing helped.

However! For me, and it was instant, was turning off my VPN. Now working seamlessly. Perhaps something to look at with VPN’s being much more common.

this was for a 2019 VW.

By Resetting the car entertainment unit, did you switch on the ignition, press and hold the volume button until the entertainment system reset was complete, and then switch off the entertainment unit, switch off the ignition, switch on the ignition, power on the entertainment unit, and pair the iPhone to the BMW Bluetooth?

Does BMW service have a firmware update available for your BMW X7 entertainment center?

Apple also has this Use CarPlay with your iPhone - Apple Support

I’m in Australia. 2021 VW Passat working fine until the 18.3 update. Can connect via Bluetooth but can’t stand the car’s GPS map.

Have gone through a few resets on the phone and infotainment but no success. Will attempt in line with suggestions that worked. 🙏

Thanks in advance.

18.3.2. I turned off Apple Intelligence on all apps that are in Carplay and it fixed the issue for me. Saw this suggestion elsewhere. Look in settings under general then siri. At the bottom choose apps. for each app turn of "learn form this app"

After trying all the other recommendations (reset network settings, restart phone, forget phone in car, forget car in phone, etc, this worked: https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/carplay-not-working-ios-18/

Basically just go into setting/screen play/applications and turn Carplay back on. So annoying that the update turned it off and this was a completely unintuitive fix. Thank you macobserver for your help - I never would have figured this one out.

Updated to 18.4 today, still not connecting via CarPlay:

-Turned Audi off/on.

-Turned iPhone 16 off/on.

-Turned Audi MMI off/on.

-Turned BT off/in in car.

-Turned BT off/on on iPhone.

Here are the two screens I got (there were previously absent) after gong to 18.4.

Good. What a ritual though… Document that for the iOS 18.4 update… 🤨

Thanks this worked a treat. You do have to press, and hold the power button for around a minute until the screen shuts off then comes back to life. Connecting immediately.
