Smart Garage Opener Won’t Show Up in CarPlay

We had no issues with the HomeKit showing the smart garage widget on CarPlay within a mile from home before the iOS 17 update. Now we do not see it and we have to pull out our phone or use Siri through the car. Location services are enabled so I do not know why we no longer get the widget in carplay

HomePod mini, 17

Hello User_10_03_08,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


If the widget is associated with an app, try these steps:


"If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, try this.


Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

 

Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

 

Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

 

Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed."


Additional details can be found here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Are all your apps up to date? Also, what is your exact iOS 17 version?


Cheers!
