After updating to iOS 18 I can no longer connect to CarPlay wirelessly..I have to plug phone in order for it to to work...anyone else having issue and/or know a work around to play wirelessly??
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18
Thanks for the info! I actually had to delete the wifi completely that was tied to my car stereo (Kenwood brand if it matters to someone else) and it still was not working. It wasn't until I accidentally discovered the following that it worked:
1) Delete wifi attached to car stereo
2) Once car is started plug iPhone in and allow it to connect with CarPlay
3) After a few seconds, Unplug iPhone once connected and now works on Bluetooth
Some hoops to jump through each time, but at least I don't have to keep the iPhone plugged in! Hopefully this gets fixed by Apple in the future 🤷♂️
With the car running, I went into the Wifi Settings on the iPhone, found the cars wifi network and changed "Private Wi-Fi Address" to OFF. This worked for me.
