Hi Nialli

It’s strange, but it worked.

I reset all the settings on my car, then Apple CarPlay started to work. I lost all the radio channels, settings, … etc but I’m glad it worked.

I tried all other possible ways that came to my mind without any luck.

CarPlay stopped working in my VW Polo. Neither my iPhone 14 or my husband’s iPhone 16Pro will work. Happened Sunday last. My husband spent over an hour trying every fix possible, including cables and ports, forgetting and relinking to CarPlay. This happened after the iOS 18.5 update. Spoke to VW. They’re stumped, but likely an Apple issue. Have seen apple users with multiple car brands in reddit forums having this issue and always its been after this latest update. Apple, please sort this out now.
