After updating to iOS 18 Car Play no longer works in my Mazda vehicle.

Updated to iOS 18 and my Mazda cannot connect to Car Play wirelessly. It will connect using the cable and stays connected after cable is unplugged until the ignition is switched off. On turning the ignition back on the phone must again be plugged into the cable.

Obviously aan OS bug but does anyone know of a work around until Apple fix this?

iPhone XR, iOS 18

I didn’t get a chance to try lobsterghost’s solution.

But I have since discovered another “solution”.

Setting the car’s wireless network to ’not active’ and rebooting the phone did it for me.

This can be found in the network list in settings.

What about the hatchback three Mazda? My CarPlay is still not working. I have checked Apple software for updates. They are telling me that Mazda themselves have to come out with a software update. I don’t know when that is going to be or how long something like that will take. Any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated
