Apple CarPlay Not Working in iOS 18.0

Hi guys!

If you have WiFi connection in your car when connecting CarPlay, then you need to do the following:

• open WiFi settings on your phone
• find the car WiFi network
• open it and turn "Limit IP address Tracking" toggle off
• also in section "Private WiFi Address", select value "Fixed"

I am facing the same issue since IOS 18 upgrade on my IPhone 14 Pro Max. Both Google and Apple Maps are blanking out with blue screen very frequently.

iPhone 16, iOS 18, 2024 Hyundai Tuscon.... Connects and has Apple Maps, Spotify and a few other non Apple apps, however NO Apple Message or Phone icons. Cannot text or call at all.

Help!

I have tried every possible solution yet it didn’t work .. somehow the GPS can’t locate my location.. maybe iOS 18 needs an update..

Still doesn't work. Fix this Apple.

Someone on this board suggested I turn off “Vocal Shortcuts”. It solved this issue for me.

I had to buy a Samsung phone for now. Until Apple fixes this . As I need my maps every day for work very frustrating I had to buy another phone thanks to Apple

Wireless adapter works.

I just updated to iOS 18.1.1 and it even worse now and even more bugs . I think Apple is going backwards. CarPlay not working . Can’t send text messages .

I have an iPhone 11 and updated to iOS 18 and have a lot of the same problems here , maps does not work, Siri won’t read messages , CarPlay won’t work I disconnected and reconnected it and redid Bluetooth connection and turned off and on phone, nothing helps, please advise ! Thank you.

I suggest first removing your car from the Bluetooth connections on your iPhone and then forgetting it in the settings under General > CarPlay. After that, try pairing again. If that doesn’t work, resetting the network settings on your phone can help clear any connectivity issues.You might also find this guide helpful:

Carplay only works when using cable but my messages and phone icon aren’t showing on my cars screen, and when I try to use Siri it’s saying to download app to use it but I don’t know hat app it wants me to download 🤦🏽‍♀️

My experience is that after up the iOS 18 and 18.0.1 Siri cannot read WhatsApp messages in CarPlay and can’t identify groups.

I read all the suggestions in here but nobody had this issue and therefore, no one suggested any solution.

anyone ?

thanks

I had the same issue as most everyone else posting here. I managed to fix my '23 Acura MDX and, now, everything is back to working properly.

1. Go into your iPhones settings and turn off everything related to CarPlay and restart the iPhone.
2. Do a factory reset on your car's screen.
3. Go back to the iPhone and reactivate CarPlay.
4. Back to the car's CarPlay set-up menu: When prompted, select Forget This Device.
5. Then, re-sync your iPhone to CarPlay.

I’m experiencing very similar issues!

I have an iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.0.1, and my car is a 2021 Santa Fe using wireless CarPlay.

Here are the problems I’ve been facing:

1. Music plays in mono.
2. The forward and backward buttons on the steering wheel don’t work.
3. Sometimes navigation has no sound.
4. Audio transmission occasionally cuts in and out.

Sometimes these issues suddenly resolve, but they don’t stay fixed for long.

Have you found any solutions?
