Since iOS 18.1.1 update apple carplay not reading messages

Since running the new iOS 18.1.1 update last night my iPhone 14 Pro when connect to my Mazda cx30 apple car play Siri will not read messages. I have checked all settings and they are correct however, under announce messages it says message announcements currently silenced. I have checked everything no focus is activated phone is not on silent (although this shouldn’t matter it never has) please help going on a long trip tomorrow and need it sorted

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

I updated my 15 pro max to 18.1.1 yesterday. I was driving and all of a sudden my CarPlay disconnected. I’m unable to connect it ever since. Tried everything so far, but no luck

My wife and I have 15 Pro Maxes. Mine has updated to 18.1.1, but hers has not yet updated. My CarPlay has stopped working, giving an unable to connect error message, whilst hers works as per normal. None of the normal workarounds have fixed the issue. Hopefully a new update will be available soon.

It’s a joke the updates cause more trouble than good - nothing that people suggest in the forum works or is getting beyond a joke 🤬

I updated to 18.1.1 last night and now my CarPlay no longer shows my calendar. When I go into CarPlay app on my iPhone 11 it does not allow me to add apps. I just moved to a new location and this is a huge inconvenience for me as the addresses to all the new locations I need to find I now have to add manually in the car. I am so tired of Apple f**king around with updates.

My CarPlay no longer skips music tracks from the steering wheel buttons or from my phone buttons. The only way to skip tracks is now from the console control panel in the car. Hopefully we get an update quickly.

I uploaded iOS 18.1.1 a few days ago. I can no longer connect my iPhone 14 Pro to my 2024 Mazda CX-5. I had previously connected with my car quickly. I reset my network settings on my phone because I could not receive telephone calls or text messages; that fixed that problem. But now I cannot connect to my car.

I turned off my VPN on my iPhone...it now connects with CarPlay. My wife and I both have 14 Pro iPhones and both drive Mazda CX-5s. Her iPhone worked after the 18.1.1 update and mine did not work in either car. The only difference was I was using a VPN (worked previously in the car before the update) and my wife did not. Hope this helps someone!

I'M sure with all the issues with this update Apple will miraculously have another update. As they say in tech world 'Fix one, break one'!! My CarPlay is nada at the moment.

Ever since updating my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 18.1.1 Car Play no longer connects to my 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. Bluetooth connects, but wired Car Play does not work.
