CarPlay text messages only popping up with CarPlay up

iOS 18.1.1 (iPhone 16 Pro Max)

2021 Jeep Gladiator with CarPlay

My old iPhone 13 Pro Max would have text message notification popups when I had the Media/SXM screen up. Now with the new phone, the notifications only pop up when I have the CarPlay screen up. I have tried Announce Notifications with Siri, CarPlay (both on the phone and in the vehicle), I’ve tried turning it on in Uconnect and Bluetooth. Nothing is fixing this issue.

Ideas?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

I was told today by an Apple Senior Advisor that the CarPlay text pop up box was REMOVED with the 18 update. It’s not a bug or something awaiting a fix, it’s gone. Supposedly something about making everyone completely hands free. He said features can be brought back if enough users ask for it. All requests however, must go through the Apple.com/feedback page to be counted. So go forth and ask! apple.com/feedback There is not an option for CarPlay so the rep I spoke to said put it under iPhone. Product Feedback - Apple
