CarPlay not working after iOS 17.6.1 Update

Here’s what I had to do to make things work again on my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek: under CarPlay settings on my phone, forget vehicle. Next, I detached my phone from its cable, and deactivated Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth next, I shut my phone down completely. Finally I started l up the car and the phone while not yet connected together. As my phone finished booting up, I plugged it back in to the cable, and the rest seem to fall into place. It is possible that this requires a little bit of time, I was able to do this while stopping for gas for example. I say that to say: if you try this well, say sitting still in your car over a minute and a half or two minutes, and it doesn’t work, then it may indicate that you have to let it sit maybe about 10 minutes or so in this process. Best of luck!

FIXED (BMW)!

I did the following:

1. I unpaired my car and my phone in both places and removed all the connections
2. Turned on the car's engine
3. Did a hard reset of a multimedia system (in BMW it is press and hold the power button. The same button for volume control). Google how to properly reset your car
4. Restarted my iPhone
5. Re-paired my iPhone from my car

So after a month of playing with settings, updates etc.

I tried all of the recommended steps, none of them worked I finally have a solution to my car play.

(Nissan xtrail)

rather than turning the infotainment system into a reset, I went into the main menu and did a factory reset that way. Now it is working, connecting no issue not intermittent and sound is back.

I had got it connecting intermittently with maps but no audio, now everything is working.

so recommend trying factory reset if you haven’t!

I held the power/volume button down on my 2021 BMW for 70sec. It reset the system. I then re-paired the phone to the car. It now works again. This was after 2 days of frustration.

My 2020 RAV4 has the same issue. Happens all the time before the next big release. They have you jump through hoops and once the new release comes it is fixed. Last year the wireless devices got it to work. Good thing Car Play doesn’t run the whole car. Yet. This the third year in a row that this has happened. Last year it was a patch to fix car play that broke mine. I had to pull out my old garmin so I had navigation for a trip. You would think they read these, nope.

RESOLVED our Honda issue by…

Resetting Honda radio back to it’s factory settings

Deleting all previous CarPlay devices from the Honda

Reconnecting iPhone(s) to Honda’s CarPlay

The Honda, and others, may have some confounding indexing issue

Factory reset of the auto's audio system also fixed my Honda Civic symptoms

Wish the moderators had a way of bubbling "likely fixes" up to the top of discussions, as this kind of fix has been mentioned many times in these threads, but lost in a tome of dialog.

iPhone reset seems unnecessary btw

My guess is some auto audio systems have some issue with keeping track of what phones are connected to them. Wiping their slate clean fixes it.

And they all lived happily ever after…

Rant over. Carry on.

To be proactive you can file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

FIXED… after resetting the Honda Accord back to it's factory setting, and re-connecting.

Before this 2 of the 5 iPhones linked to the car were deletable from the car's list, but the other 3 would go into a loop, and end up un-deleted. Confounding… maybe Honda Accord, and others, have some indexing issue that was exacerbated by the 17.6.1 release… who knows… question is can  and Honda collaborate to debug this and prevent similar issues.

I can't believe how much we missed  CarPlay !

Did you get this fixed....we were on a trip recently Apple Carplay worked on older Apple SE and Newer 2020 SE and then on the way home September 19 seemed to stop working...would freeze the screen on the newer one and would even connect to the older one....we went thinking it was the Rental Car we went away today and it happened on our personal car.... We had changed the USB cord, Cars...checked all connections.... so I updated to IOS 18 today and the newer SE works... the older one just give a black blank screen and Apple no longer supports that series....

Had nothing to do with the infocenter's computer but I suspect the good folks at APPLE did some type of update to obsolete older phones to CarPlay.

Hi,

Same problem on Porsche 2024 Cayenne, wireless car play working perfectly until ios 17.6.1 now won't recognise the phone, phone says it is connected but won't open car play. Troubleshooted extensively as above but with no luck.

I'm also having the same issue on my 24' Chevy Silverado, I'm connected to Bluetooth, but Carplay will not open. It's also very spotty when connected via cable. It just started today 9.6.24. I've tried everything with my phone and head unit to resolve the problem, but no luck.

Same issue here, 2019 Range Rover Sport wired connection, was working perfectly & android car play still works perfectly.

Car tells me that connection failed need to disconnect & reconnect - no joy…so I deleted the car from ACP - now doesn’t even see it.

Numerous reboots & resetting of network settings but zero joy….

Same issue here, never had an issue with carplay before but now wireless carplay doesn’t work at all and wired carplay constantly freezes and unusable ever since the phone upgraded to 17.6.1. Very frustrating please fix this asap. Hyundai Kona 2023 here
