What is Apple Doing to Fix 11.2.5 Upgrade Which Breaks CarPlay?

After ignoring this issue for some time I did some research the other night and came across this article: iOS 11/11.1/11.2/11.3 CarPlay Not Working - How to Fix.

One of the tips is, "Tip 4. Check your Restrictions - Open Settings app > Tap General > Restrictions > Enter your passcode > Find CarPlay and turn it off.

When I checked my settings Carplay was already turned off. I went ahead and disabled restrictions altogether. The next time I got in the car, CarPlay fired right up.

Hope it works for you.

Just spent 30 minutes on chat with Apple Support. They are having to go tier 3 and set up a call for tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it.

Along they way they had me try turning off wifi and Bluetooth but this didn't resolve the issue.

Very odd they seemed to have no idea about the problem.

I realize the problem could be my iPhone. The fact that many are making this complaint, however, suggests to me it is iOS 11.2.5 related.

A simple google search will show you what I'm talking about: https://www.google.com/search?q=ios+11.2.5+breaks+carplay&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS784US7 84&oq=ios+11.2&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j35i39j….

Good to know.

I am hoping, and this would seem to be sensible to me, that Apple monitors (but may not participate in) the discussions for frequently mentioned problems and creating another one, one that has not been mistakenly marked resolved, will help them realize they need to take action.

Aren't you fun?

Once again, if you're not here to be helpful, I'm not sure why you're here. Isn't this, supposedly, why you participate in this community? Or is it just to be a ******* to strangers?

Still waiting for a response that I can click "helpful" on or "this solved my question."

"Thanks"

I understand they may not monitor the Apple Support Community closely but I would find it hard to believe no monitoring occurs, whatsoever.

Also if you click the "learn more about support communities" on the welcome page and scroll to the bottom you'll find this statment, "Apple may provide or recommend responses as a possible solution based on the information provided" which seems to indicate they do, in fact, monitor the support community (perhaps to a very limited degree).

Anyway, all I ask is for help solving the problem at hand. If you can't help with that, I would simply appreciate no response.

Thank you.

And you told me the problem is my phone and not iOS to which I responded you may be correct but the volume of similar complainst suggests to me it may not be my phone.

Seriously, help out or don't respond, please.

Good to know.

Still looking for some "community specialist" to offer a response on this issue and one that is superior to the one previously offered.

Thank you.

If you had read more carefully, you would see that I did.

Rather than wasting minutes and bytes by responding unhelpfully, perhaps you should move on.
