iOS 14.5 CarPlay not working

I own an S4 Avant 2020 (U.K.) after updating to 14.5 Siri is fine I can’t physical use Apple Music via CarPlay unless I ask Siri to play music, I can no longer access my library or Apple radio, so I’m surprised, I’ll try the above Porsche is probably similar to Audi fingers crossed 🤞🏽

That's exactly what started happening in my Lexus 2020 rx450h a couple of weeks ago. The voice prompts either don't work anymore or cut out after the 1st few syllables. It won't read text messages most of the time either, it is SO annoying...since this used to work.

The fix from sakwut didn’t work for me but the fix from crumirid787 did partially work.

I reset the car radio (by holding down the volume button for 10 seconds) and restarted my iPhone SE 2020.

I can use Siri again and Siri is no longer cut off after a few syllables.

HOWEVER, I say partially worked because after I did this, I sent myself several texts.

NONE came up on the CarPlay screen. When I ask Siri to play the last text message, it played a message from before the car radio/iphone reset. It no longer recognizes new text messages. What a pain! I hope this is fixed in the next phone iOS update really soon. I guess a partial fix is better than nothing, but remember, THIS USED TO WORK!

Thank you!! This worked but.... when I reset the phone, it gave me the "connect to your computer" message. Had a minor panic attack. That said, once I did this, I went back out to the car, turned it back on, connected the phone and voila!! All fixed!!

I had this issue too, tried all the tricks listed here none worked. Here is what I did and it eliminated the issue.

1) log onto itunes make sure it is updated

2) You will notice none of your apple music is on itunes.

3) Turn off sync on the phone, this is scary - all music will disappear.

4) while phone is connected to itunes click on "account" this opens the cloud based Apple music account.

5) Go through each playlist or download - upper right corner click the 3 dots ... download should appear. As it ACTUALLY downloads all the clouds next to each song will go away. Now the music is actually on the phone

Once all is downloaded, sync in itunes. to verify check the phone under General - iphone storage. If the music downloaded media will appear in the memory use bar. Try this also before you start, there will be very little there if this is your problem and significantly more once you download the full song.

Bottom line, download as much as you want on the phone using wifi but you must go back and really download on itunes

another apple FUBAR.

Hope it help, good luck

It seems that "downloading" on the phone is not really on the phone, it is to the apple music cloud. Using it with carplay and cellular off ( racked up 7 GB data with it on) the phone is trying to get to the cloud to select your song. it may play a few seconds of a cache on the phone and cut out because the cloud connection is not working.

Once I did this the issue went away and carplay was stable, all functions worked just fine.

Have you checked with your car manufacturer to make sure it is compatible with the new iOS?

Same issue with Sync3 and Ford. A few days ago I removed the phone from the car’s system and re-installed. Car Play came up and it worked. Today it’s not recognizing the phone again.

Same issue for me. Ford sync 4 and CarPlay are not working. I deleted the profile in Ford synch and reinstalled, but no luck getting CarPlay working.

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.

Yes not working, messed up

Mine will connect to my car (BMW X3), but will no longer read my texts via Siri or allow me to use voice command to send a text reply. I have unpaired/repaired my phone, no resolution.

Exactly the same, update broke Siri!

So annoying!

THAT WORKED!!! Yes….it was making crazy. Thanks for figuring it out!
