Apple Carplay stopped working Accord 2018

I installed the update two days ago and it fixed the CarPlay issue.

What phone are you using? Tried a different phone? How about a System Update?

I was originally going to do the hard reset as suggested by ddugas1970 but I found a ”Factory Data Reset” in the Infotainment Center under Settings, System. I took a chance and it worked. Took about 5 minutes to complete and afterwards I had to reset some of my personal settings like radio stations, door lock preference, etc. Like ddugas1970 don’t know how long it will last. I believe that the bug sits with Honda and that sooner or later a fix will be applied. I will let you know if I uncover anything else that can help.

Of course both vendors point to the other guy but Apple says the Honda and Acura cars are the ones that have the problem. Apple believes that if Honda would upgrade its version of CarPlay to iOS 11 it would work better.

How did you perform your factory data reset.? Mine is greyed out and won't let me select it. I parked my car in the garage to connect to my wifi and every time I attempt to perform a software update, it states I can't perform this action while in motion. The car was turned off and on multiple times. At one point I saw the ability to download over wifi but it stated again that the action couldn't be performed while in motion. I don't think this has anything to do with iOS 11.2.5 (which I did install yesterday and this is the first time it has ever happened). I guess I will disconnect the negative connection on my battery.

Don't you just love new tech....

I’m right there with you. I didn’t pair with Bluetooth this go around as well. I’m actually superstitious and removed my nice anker lightning to usb cable, thinking it might be the cause. If this continues with the factory cable then I’ll just swap back.

Stopped working after 4 months in my 2017 Civic Hatchback EX-L. The last couple days it worked on and off so I thought it was the cable. Today driving home from work it didn’t work at all. I have an iPhone 7 running 11.2.5

I have the same iPhone 6S and the same issues. My radio even reboots itself while I'm going down the road listening to music or just talking on the phone using CarPlay. Unfortunately I did the factory reset a few times. So hopefully that firmware/software fix Honda is working on comes out soon!

Bought a 2018 Accord Touring today. Same issue and error message when trying to connect to CarPlay for the first time. Surprised because I thought Honda has supported CarPlay for several years. I'll try the battery method or the reset method and see what happens. Crap.

Last week I attended a Honda 101 class that the dealership in Manchester CT offers. You get a free oil change for attending. The service manager claimed to know nothing about this issue and disregarded the tech bulletin that was posted from Honda on this website which I showed him.. He was pompous and arrogant and did not want to hear about any other issues that customers brought up, as well. All we got was the typical blaming the customer replies. He did acknowledge that my Display unit should not be freezing as it did twice but did not say bring it in and we will change it. Apparently that was a big issue om some earlier models.

I am having the same problem with Apple car play. I just updated iOS to the latest that dropped today. I hope it fixes it. But in the meantime. I have reset the factory settings... now my satellite radio does not show the channel Id’s and logos for all the channels like it did before. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know how to get the logos to reappear?

I haven't checked explicitly but it's the same "unit restart" I've managed to run into many times already on accident (I probably use my iPhone directly too much for the CarPlay to deal with!) and none of my settings were lost previously.

FWIW, I have used my Apple CarPlay very nearly daily for four months now (and most days, at least twice a day) and never had the issue of CarPlay not starting up until yesterday.

I've also "crashed" the unit a few times month by using the iPhone (instead of the CarPlay console) so I'm sure there are bugs but overall, I'm very happy with the performance.

As far changing the background on the unit for 2018 Honda Accord Sport, Google came up with several possibilities (Google for: change background 2018 Honda Accord Sport)

Hi, I just got my car this last Friday and my carplay isnt working on my 2018 Honda Accord. Honda dealership said its an update issue. Your post is from January and the dealership said they are working on this issue with carplay. They make it seem its getting fixed soon. Has your carplay kept working after the hard reset? Any suggestions for me? Also have you gotten any update or changes to your car from apple or honda? Thanks for your time
