Can I select which calendars populate on CarPlay?

First off, I love that CarPlay suggests directions based on my calendar schedule. It's an incredible feature! I have one big issue I keep running into though, and I'm hoping for some help. My wife and I have shared calendars. One calendar we share is her work schedule. Every time I climb into my vehicle on days she works CarPlay wants to get me directions to her place of employment. This is not helpful, because that calendar doesn't apply to me. Is there a way to keep the shared calendar so I can access her work schedule on my phone/laptop, but remove it from the list of calendars CarPlay sees so it will only suggest locations that are relevant to me?

Thanks in advance!

Tim

P.S. - I couldn't find a CarPlay topic, so I went with iCal, but if one exists, please feel free to move this question there.

Hello Herdtjh,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to get the proper calendar to work with CarPlay and your iPhone. To help with this, please check what the default calendar is set to on your iPhone by going to Settings > Calendar > Default Calendar and then test your issue again:

Set up multiple calendars on iPhone

Use Calendar with CarPlay

Cheers!

Thanks for replying, Herdtjh, and that additional info, it really helps! Since this didn't help with your situation, please follow the steps in this Apple resource on CarPlay issues, including checking with the manufacturer of your car radio for possible updates, and then contact Apple if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for replying.

I have the correct calendar selected when going through the steps you suggested. CarPlay pulls from all iCloud Calendars, not just my default calendar. That's the problem I'm having. Hoping I there is a way to keep it from pulling from all the calendars I have shared with me.

Thanks!
