Is Car Play fixed in 18.6.2

Same here. New iPhone 16 Plus was working beautifully with my Skoda Kodiaq. Updated to 18.6.2 last week and now nothing. It charges with a wired cable but no trace of connection. My wife’s and son’s older iPhones on older OS connect just fine. So it is 100% the update that is the problem.

currently running 18.6.2 my wired connection CarPlay stopped working immediately after this update.

Does not work in 2021 Ford F150 or 2019 Buick Enclave.

You “keep hearing” from a tiny minority of users who always have some kind of issue with anything and everything. It’s a basic law of the universe that karma craps on some people.

I just updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 18.6.2 and my wireless CarPlay works just fine on my 2024 GM vehicle. Of course it has always worked fine ever since i started using it. The vast majority of users have not experienced any problems with CarPlay and iOS 18.6.1 or .2

Stay on iOS 17.7.2 until Apple ceases to support it if you like.

And speaking of reliability there are still some who claim iOS 17.7.2 is the worst update Apple has ever released and have issue after issue with it. See what I mean?

carplay worked fine on way home from work. Updated to 18.6.2 and the next morning CarPlay stopped working, and yes I’ve done everything including restarting my phone lol.

this is a issue that needs to be addressed.

Then I suspect you will be waiting a very long, long time. Do you plan to do any troubleshooting on your own or just sit back and demand something that will not likely come.

If you would consider performing at least some the troubleshooting advice many others have given in these forums then try this...

On your iPhone turn off Bluetooth. Now click on the icon representing your car and select ‘forget this device”. Also remove your iPhone from your car’s Bluetooth menu. Now restart your iPhone, turn Bluetooth back on and reconnect your car according to your car’s instructions.

Then contact Apple support. this is a user forum. We can't change it.

I've been using CarPlay for years. No problems at all with any version of iOS up to and including 18.6.2.

Several auto manufacturers have a reputation for problems with compatibility due to taking shortcuts in the coding for their head units. Cheap Chinese "CarPlay compatible" systems are also known to have issues.

Yes apple will put a patch through. I’ll wait. I’ve done everything including restarting. And why does CarPlay not working make so many people angry and annoyed in this forum. IN MY CAR AND MY WIFES CAR RIGHT AFTER THE UPDATE IT QUIT WORKING THE NEXT DAY. Different cars.

Why don't you tell us exactly what the cars are... make model and year, and what audio systems are installed...

Toyota is notorious for compatibility problems. Subaru has had plenty of issues. BMW and Audi as well.

Those are only a few.

In my case I have a Kia Sportage PHEV 2024 and CarPlay connected by wire. Until yesterday I was using CarPlay without any problem for 18 months and many iOS updates. I usually connect with a wireless dongle. But now the dongle or wire connection don’t work. Clearly an update trouble. My suv has the last available system update from Kia (November 2024 I believe)…

Just because you aren't having any issues, doesn't mean that others aren't. @Ikrupp, stop being a tool! My wife carplay isn't working at all on her Kia and my carplay will not connect unless I reboot my phone with Uconnect in my Ram.

Literally tried everything, including factory reset of my infotainment system (2023 Honda Pilot). Was working fine before update, and can’t connect the day after. Wife didn’t update and her phone continues to connect just fine. This is DEFINITELY an Apple problem. Please create a patch ASAP!

I have the iPhone 16 pro and yesterday after the update to 18.6.2 Carplay stopped working for me too. Any solution yet?

I updated as well and CarPlay keeps working. There is likely no issue with iOS. Perhaps the issue is with your radio firmware, or combination of installed apps on your device?

Not by Apple, that’s for sure.
