iOS 14.5 CarPlay not working

SOLVED!

OK, here's what worked for me after 2 days of trying everything. First, you have to go into settings/general/CarPlay/choose the car and forget it. Then come out to the car, plug in to the USB port and then turn off the entertainment system (my car was running at the time), and while still plugged in, do a hard reset on the phone. Don't just turn it off. Hold the two buttons on your model that cause the phone to forcibly shut down. This seems to be the only way to clear whatever it is that's messing Siri up. Then when you 1) turn the radio back on, and then 2) turn the iPhone back on, Siri should work fine. This was driving me crazy for 2 days. Apple should really anticipate this and put something out about it.

i called Apple. They told me these steps

1. turn off your bluetooth and wifi
2. put your phone on Airplane mode
3. connect your iphone to your radio using cable only
4. play some music
5. turn off airplane mode
6. repeat these steps one more time.

now it is working normally. I hope it helps

By the way, my car is Porsche 992

I'm having same issues - Ford Sync 3 radio, worked fine yesterday under iOS 14.4; upgraded 2 phones last night to 14.5, neither will connect to CarPlay now. Have deleted car from iOS CarPlay settings, also deleted on Sync 3 radio. When reconnecting the phone via USB, the radio recognizes the phone, but instead of the phone's name (e.g. Dan's iPhone) it just says "Apple CarPlay Device", and the phone itself never tries to activate CarPlay and go into that mode. Have power cycled phone and restarted car to force radio reset. The other iPhones in house still on iOS 14.4 still connect as expected to CarPlay in the vehicle, it's just devices upgraded to 14.5 that won't connect to CarPlay. Ford Sync 3 on most recent version also.

Well, it is interesting that when I got back into the car later the same day, the phone was recognized and Car Play started. No problem since. Have updated to 14.5.1 since, and it continues to work. What made it work? No idea….

I'm having the same problem with my 2019 Dodge Durango. Main problem is the voice keeps cutting in and out since the 14.5 upgrade. And no, it's not the wires. Everything was fine until the update, now Siri starts to talk and then cuts out, so I don't hear the rest of the prompts. Not sure what to do. If I figure it out, I'll come back and let everyone know.

Turn your Vehicle on > On your vehicle's media screen select the "Projection" App > A consent menu will pop up, select "Continue" > Your problem is resolved.

I had this issue, researched it, and tried all the recommended solutions and nothing worked. The other day when I started my vehicle I thought the typical warning message popped up regarding "keeping eyes on the road " and selected what I thought was the "OK" button on the left and continued on. Well, that message wasn't the typical warning message, it was the "Device Projection Privacy Consent" form and I had unknowingly selected "Disable"... which is also the button on the left.

Hope this helps someone out there. If not, good luck.

It’s not up to the manufacturers to make sure iOS updates are compatible, that falls on apple to make sure their software is backwards compatible.

It is up to third party device or software developers to make sure THEIR product is compatible with iOS or any OS. Any other claim is incorrect. Why would they list their system requirements on the product? You actually expect Apple (or Microsoft) to make sure that their software will work with millions of products worldwide? Utter nonsense.

Way to go Apple. It wouldn’t be an update without breaking Apple CarPlay.. again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and..

Having similar problem with 2020 Genesis G70 using either direct USB connection to my iPhone 11 or my CPLAY2air device. Receive notification that I have a text; click on notification; Siri starts to read text and within a few seconds it cuts off, screen displays a circle showing it is being read but no audio. This happen several times and then Siri asks if I want to reply although it never announced the text. Occasionally if I repeat procedure a few times, entire text will finally play. It's maddening!!!

Traveling yesterday from a distant location where I had used WiFi, I had Car Play running (USB) when I pulled out of the driveway. Very quickly, probably as I progressed away from WiFi range, Car Play cut out and complained that there was no Internet. At my next stop I checked my iPhone: Cellular was OFF. I had not turned it off. Turning it back on cured the problem. (Aside:Yes,IknowthatCarPlayiswithoutaspacebetween"Car"and"Play,"butsuchbrandingbyAppleandothersthrowsawrenchinto

This worked for me as well. I have a 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid and I held the power button to force a reset of the radio and while the radio was rebooting I did a hard reset of the iPhone. Hope this helps.

Ditto - BMW X5... CarPlay tries unsuccessfully to read the text aloud... sometimes asking Siri to repeat once (or twice) and CarPlay will succeed in reading the text aloud...

Also, dictating texts on CarPlay tries but is not successful...

iOS 14.5.1

I had the same problem & I live by Apple CarPlay. I went to Verizon to get a new phone, but they were out. In a last-ditch attempt, I did a complete factory wipe & restored my phone from a backup & it's working perfectly! I know it's a pain to do, but it worked for me

Here's what I discovered and tried. The issue is Siri, not CarPlay. Try using Siri away from your car, and you should see the same issues.

Again, here's what I did - I'm not promising it will work for you.

Change Siri Voice

Turn off Siri in phone settings

Hard reset iPhone

Turn Siri back on

It has been 18 hours and the "fix" is still working. Maybe we will see a true fix in the next IOS update.
