CarPlay freezing after iOS 18 update

I’m having the same issue with my 2019 Chevy Camaro 2ss. Worked fine then I installed iOS 18 and once I plug my phone in it’ll load up but a few seconds later it freezes and completely restarts my radio screen. I don’t think it’s an issue with my car because it only started happening after I installed iOS 18, not before.

I called Apple Support, and they were not helpful. They suggested that I take the car to the car dealership. I verified that another iPhone running iOS 16.X works perfectly in my 2019 Camaro.

The phone without working CarPlay in the 2019 Chevy Camaro will work on a 2020 Chevy Silverado, which has wired CarPlay with a USB-C Lightning Cable.

Multiple fixes that did NOT WORK:

1. Removed car from the CarPlay Settings.
2. Removed all phones from the infotainment system.
3. New lightning cable.
4. Different USB port.
5. Disabled blue tooth.
6. Restarted Phone.
7. Restarted Infotainment.

I assume resetting the phone to factory defaults and using an older iOS will resolve the problem. I am extremely frustrated with the poor quality of iOS updates starting with version 17. I will switch to an Android phone if Apple cannot resolve continued CarPlay issues and buggy updates.

I’m having the exact same issues on my 2019 GM. I’m also having an addition to the CarPlay issues and issue with my Apple AirPods connecting. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same.

Having the identical problem with my 2019 ZL1 Camaro after updating to IOS 18 & 18.01. Worked perfectly on IOS 17

Same issue here with iPhone 12 and iOS 17.7 to 18 update.

Downgraded to 17.6 and the issue is resolved although the data loss is beyond frustrating.

I went back to 17.6 and the issue is resolved.
