CarPlay iOS 18 issue

After upgrading to iOS 18 CarPlay with 2023 Lexus and iPhone 15 Pro Max shows multiple issues:


• speakers reduced to Mono sound (going back to normal after some minutes and then reducing again)

• no speaker sound at all

• touching / moving phone while driving resulting in “on and off” sound


No Reboot / Shutdown helps No Cable connection works


@Apple: do you test your software professionally or is this outsourced to the community? Doesn’t look at all like a professional approach?

Please solve this dangerous (traffic!) and annoying topic ASAP!

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution! Please look in the right direction.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
