iPhone 14 Pro Max Apple CarPlay not working after iOS 18.5 update

My iphone 14 pro max apple carplay used to work with 2023 mazda cx-5. It needs to connect with cable. I use iphone official cable. After updating to ios 18.5, carplay doesn't work anymore. My wife didn't update her iphone software and her phone works perfectly with the carplay. So, I think prolem lies with iphone software update. Things I have tried to fix the issue but didn't resolve the problem-


  1. restarted my iphone with pressing left+right volume button and power button together.
  2. reset network setting of my iphone.
  3. disconnected phone's bluetooth connection with car and pressed 'forget this car' from iphone and tried to reconnect but failed.
  4. Siri has full access to location and other apps
  5. I reset my car's infotainment system.


I don't use any vpn. After pressing 'forget this car' from iphone, my car doesn't even show my car in the carplay list(screenshot attached).


My problem hasn't been solved. I don't know what else should I try. Please advice.
