Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

I am using iPhone 13 and recently I have updated to iOS 18.0. Since that day, maps are showing blank on the car when I connect through the Apple CarPlay, and a message is displayed after a few minutes on the car screen stating the location information is not available. When I start the car immediately maps are turning to blank on the car display.


iPhone 13, iOS 18

My car Cadillac XT4 no longer connects using my phone cable. I had an 11. Purchased the 16 and haven’t been able to use CarPlay since . Can connect via Bluetooth to play music. Will not even charge my phone but other phones not on iOS 18 can connect and charge. Tried updating software, car system says my software is up to date. Honestly I want my 11 back. This has given me a headache. Not being able to charge my phone could leave me stranded.

I found what the fix was for my problem. Shut off Vocal Shortcuts. My specific problem was either my car's audio would not play music through the car system, but instead the music would start through the iPhone speaker. Also, sometimes, the quality of the audio would switch from the car's normally better quality to more of a radio-type quality. I shut off Vocal Shortcuts and now everything works fine again.

This is the same issue I'm experiencing. Bluetooth connection between my iPhone 15 Pro and Toyota Multimedia System pairs okay, but Apple Car Play fails to enable and will only work if I connect my phone via USB. This only started happening after updating to IOS 18.0.1 - very frustrating having spent quite a bit of time re-pairing and restarting both devices.

I have iPhone 16 pro max and my Apple car play via cable worked perfectly with my 2019 Chevy Equinox and since ios18 when I plug my phone in it causes my whole system in my car to restart. I have tried a new cable, different port, reset my car, reset my phone, and made sure all softwares are up to date and the only thing that has changed at the time of this issue is the ios 18 update.


I hate you right now Apple. Please fix!!!!!!!
