Text message display not showing up on car after iOS 18 update

Seeing if anyone else is having trouble with text message displays not showing up on car screen after iOS 18 update. I have checked all settings on CarPlay and my phone, have reset settings, rebooted my phone and nothing works. Was able to see the notifications before the update. I have an iPhone 12 Pro max

Yep! I got the same issue. Tried an IPhone that had not yet updated to IOS 18 and the pop up text notice was back to working fine. 👍

iOS 18 took out the feature that allowed you to receive text messages pop ups on your vehicle screen, regardless of what app you are using. Example, listening to Sirius xm radio, you will not get a text message pop ups, only the text sound alert. You have to have the actual CarPlay app open on your vehicle screen to receive the text pop up. This came directly from apple engineers during a troubles case I had open recently.
