IOS 18 CarPlay Issues on iPhone 16 pro max

Ever since switching to iPhone 16 and iOS 18 latest update tat is supposed to fix CarPlay my Bluetooth wireless connection to my car for hands free calling does not work. When I plug my phone in for CarPlay that does not work and it worked fine on my iPhone 15 pro max running 17.2. I have tried everything everyone has suggested including removing and reinstalling phone on car and car in CarPlay with no luck. It’s connected to 2018 GMC Terrain OEM head with no firmware available

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Agree 100% you buy a new $1100 phone to gain features not lose them. They gave me a new phone thinking that would work and same issue only way I can talk hands free now is if I plug in my phone so gone is wireless Bluetooth hands free. Car did not change it worked fine on iPhone 15 pro max. Apple you need to do better it has be considering moving to Samsung !!!

Well I traded in my iPhone 15 Pro Max for my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Result is that my CarPlay doesn't work any more, while it worked just fine on iPhone Pro Max 15!

Aren't there uniform standards for the CarPlay/Bluetooth Protocol? The worst part is CarPlay is really Apple's own definition on both ends (Car side and the iPhone) - so why on earth would they release a new iPhone that 'breaks' CarPlay that worked just fine before? I wish Apple would not blame it on the car manufacturers, because all they are doing is implementing Apple's own standards.

This is an Apple problem that Apple needs to fix ASAP.

I just bought my iPhone 16 Pro Max less than 12 hours ago and it does not connect to my 2023 Forester Wilderness via Bluetooth nor CarPlay. Please advise.
