iOS 18 no audio in CarPlay navigation

We recently updated our two iPhones to iOS 18. Since then when using navigation with CarPlay we no longer have turn by turn audio. Neither phone will work in a 2017 Audi TT or a 2019 Subaru Forrester. I have spent hours checking any setting I can think of. Any Suggestions?

iPhone 14, iOS 18

In my case, there is a small speaker icon on the Apple map display that is only visible when you touch the map. My speaker icon was apparently set to off mode after upgrading to iOS18. I’m confident this is correct because I never had to mess with this setting before.


My car is a 2020 Audi A5 connected to my iPhone 14 with usb port and cable.

Is this the Apple Maps in CarPlay or another navigation app in CarPlay not working? And I know you said you checked every notification you can think of but just to be sure…in Maps setting on the phone when you click on Spoken Directions the option for Directions on Radio is toggled on? And you have checked all of the settings directly on your cars radio to make sure everything is on that should be? I used navigation today in CarPlay and didn’t have this issue but different car make/model which may or may not be relevant if this isn’t happening to everyone using iOS 18
