Carplay problems ios11 iphone 6 2016 vw golf gti

This has been driving me insane for two months and finally solved it this morning. I had a similar problem with my 2017 Alltrack/iPhone 6S. After updating to iOS11, I could no longer tap to select messages. The only way to interact with messages was via Siri, which can get annoying asking her to read unread messages all the time. Doing a VW App-Connect factory reset cleared things up. Not sure if holding the power button on the stereo for 20 seconds accomplishes the same thing, but what I did was to hit the Menu button on the infotainment system then navigate to Setup > Factory Settings > App-Connect > Reset . The next time you connect your iPhone the car will treat it like a new CarPlay connection, but all your CarPlay settings on the phone are retained.

Holding power on the stereo for 20 seconds worked great for me to fix this thanks.

Try holding the power to your stereo unit for 20 seconds. Kind of like a force reset on your phone. That worked for me in my gti

I was having the black screen issue on my '16 Golf TSI - Went to the settings menu and scroll down to 'reset car play' - seems to have fixed it - so far.

I don’t have the same problem. Mine is that nearly all the times I connect the screen in the car is completely black. I then have to reset the media unit in my Passat by holding the power button for like 20 seconds. Very anoying!!

I am having the same issue with the iPhone 6 and the blank screen as you are with my 2016 Golf GTI. I too need to reset the media unit the same way. I hope Apple fixes this issue. Not sure how we are all going to update firmware in the media units if that is now required to fix what Apple changed in IOS 11.

Setting menu where? On your iPhone or on the VW media unit?
