wireless CarPlay problem on my 2023 Genesis GV70 after updating my iPhone to iOS 18

I have a 2023 Genesis GV70 EV.

I used wired carplay without problems since leasing the car in May 2023.

I updated the audio software via OTA to be able to use wireless carplay.

I used wireless carplay for two days without any problems.

Then I updated my iPhone SE (second generation) to iOS 18 on Tuesday.

Now when i have my iPhone in the car with me, carplay starts (wirelessly) playing the last album I was playing before the ios18 update.

I can scroll back and forth and play all the songs on the album. But that's all I can do!

If I press or select the music icon at the top right of the carplay screen, I get the message, "your phone is not connected to a network."

If I try to bypass carplay and access Amazon music directly on my iphone to play something new via my phone, I get the same message, "your phone is not connected to a network."

But, I can access any of my other web apps on my iphone w/o a problem.

And, if I turn the car off, I can access Amazon music on my phone directly w/o carplay.

Is anyone else reporting a similar problem?

When will I ever learn not to be an early adopter?

iPhone SE, iOS 18

After you updated your iPhone, did you Force Restart it? At a minimum, you should do that after iOS updates --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

If that doesn't help. Remove your car from CarPlay on your Phone, then set it up again. You will likely need to repair the phone to Bluetooth on the car, then set up Apple CarPlay.

I used to have a 24 GV70, until the engine blew up at 850 miles, so it took 4 months to get Genesis to buy it back and I bought a 25 Mazda CX70 with wireless CarPlay and after updating my iPhone to iOS 18, CarPlay is working perfectly on my Mazda.

Sliding off topic, but wow… that stinks. Which engine did yours have? I have a 21 G70 (not the GV) I bought used at the beginning of the year. I’ve put about 9000 miles on it since I got it. Just shy of 32K now with no problems at all.

I have the 2.0T.

Bought a wireless carplay dongle on amazon.

My sister has a CX70. They’re nice vehicles.

Mine had the 300HP 2.5T and was the Sport Prestige. I had a 23' but that suffered significant issue with the electronic limited slip differential, so I decided to trade it for the 24 thinking I couldn't get another one with major issues. That was a made move on my part for sure. For me, owning a Genesis was a nightmare. The buyback process was beyond a nightmare to go through. It took more than 4 months. But it's over and finally behind me.

I hope you continue to have good luck with your G70.

Sounds like a bug in Amazon Music. What happens if you use the native music app instead?
