CarPlay not working after 11.2.6 update

Updated iOS to 11.2.6 and now my carplay is not working in my Kia Soul.

When I connect using the phone cable it says ipod connected. Doesn't see the phone, can't do anything!

Help. I don't know how to downgrade to 11.2.5. I have never had issue with any update until now.

iPhone SE, iOS 11.2.6

I have a 2017 Kia and been having this issue with carplay since I updated my Iphone8 to the latest software (11.2.6). Before the update, it worked fine, but since, I cannot connect the phone. The phone won't even charge in that USB port (charges in the other USB's in the car. I have tried 3 other Iphone8's, they all have the same problem!!! My son's Iphone7 (with 11.2.6) works perfectly. I have tried multiple lightning cables!!!! I have changed the restrictions on my phone and I have had the phone "forget this car" and restarted my phone. Now my phone won't even recognize my car.

I always used to use the Australian voice for Siri but had switched to try the English voice. But 'she' couldn't core with the Kiwi twang so I went to switch Siri to the Australian voice. But to do so, I had to download and install 'the Australian voice' again, which I thought was of at the time. Because carplay uses Siri, I surmise that perhaps the OS upgrade doesn't fully flush the previous version of the Siri voice. I don't know, I'm just guessing but at least my carplay now works.

Probably just a coincidence but I was able to get mine working by removing the Kia from the settings > General > CarPlay > Kia Motors. Then, with the phone plugged in and not recognized I pushed the UVO button on the radio and then had it run a vehicle diagnostics. When it finished, I selected something like “save data” or “send report” (sorry don’t remember exactly but it was the only other option besides exit). It gave an error that said the phone wasn’t connect but then the phone dinged and connected. It’s worked since (a few hours). Now, I’ve played with it before and have gotten it to work only for it to quit again later but....worth a try.

Changed the voice on Siri. Still No CarPlay On my 2018 Colorado. Turned off the Bluetooth connection to my phone (on the car) and went back to one of my previous cables, now it works with my SE running 11.2.6, but not with my wife’s 5s running 10.3.3. So at least one phone works......for now! I think turning off the Bluetooth connection if you are using the USB cable may be worth a shot.
