Since iOS 18, Text notifications stopped showing up on my CarPlay screen

Since the update, Notifications has stopped showing text. It announces the messages in CarPlay but does not show the notifications on the screen. This never happened prior to this update. I'm now on iOS 18.1 RC and still the same. Now if I ask Siri to show me the messages, say while I'm listening to Siriusxm, then it does pop up so I can reply. But I never asked Siri to do this in previous OS.

Is this the new way that CarPlay is going to work?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

The CarPlay text popup box was REMOVED with the 18 update. This is not a bug or awaiting a fix, it’s gone! I have chatted or spoke with several different Apple reps over the past month and have ran through every setting possible. Today I was finally told it’s been removed. Something about wanting people to be totally hands free. He also said features can be brought back if enough people ask, but that all requests must be made via the apple.com/feedback page and he specifically said that they do not react based on these community entries. I put in a request and hopefully many others will also. There is not an option for CarPlay so the rep said to select iPhone. Hope this helps. apple.com/feedback
