iOS 18 beta 3 CarPlay issues

I’ve been using iOS beta 3 for a few days, and I’ve began to notice that I am not able to send messages through CarPlay. At first, I thought it was a bug with my phone, so I restarted it. Then, I removed my car from CarPlay and reconnected, then connected it to a family members car and still have the same issues.

The issue being whenever I try to send a message using Siri, she replies with “There is not an app for that, download one when not in the car.” Or something along those lines. If anyone else is having the same issue, or knows a fix, please let me know.

My CarPlay doesn’t even exist now. It doesn’t show in settings on the phone. My phone charges but CarPlay does not come up at all. Only started af the latest beta 3 update.

Mine is also completely broken. It does not launch when connected to my Car via USBC. It only charges the device.

I’m experiencing the same issue where the phone (iPhone 15 Pro) running iOS 18 Beta is no longer recognised by the car (Range Rover Sport) is no longer recognised as a carplay compatible device. Music etc is only available via Bluetooth. There are no MDM policies or screen time restrictions in place. I have tried removing the phone and car from the car and phone respectively and then repairing but there is no change. This issue first occurred in beta 2 but persists in beta 3.

I am also having issues. iPhone 15 Pro running iOS Beta 3. Connected to CarPlay via USB-C cable.Apple Maps shows incorrect GPS location and directions. Third party maps like Google Maps and Waze crash constantly but will continue to show pop ups with incorrect turn instructions. For example, a pop up notification will show turn right when there is no place to make a right turn. Hey Siri does not disconnect after following a command. For example "Hey, Siri, get directions to Starbucks" Siri will pull up suggestions, but the icon will not stop listening, and I have to unplug the phone and reconnect to get it to stop.

On iOS 18 beta 3 on my iPhone 12 pro max and can also confirm that CarPlay has frequent random freezes and hangs when trying to use Spotify and pandora. I even reverted to iOS 17 and CarPlay worked as it used to without a hitch. A week or two prior to beta 3 i cannot remember having a single issues with CarPlay on iOS 18 beta 2 or 1. This is new and needs to be fixed. CarPlay is the issue. Not the apps trying to be used in CarPlay. No restrictions were set in any area of my settings app. This is strictly an issue with CarPlay in iOS 18 dev beta 3. rendering CarPlay pretty much useless in some scenarios. Not sure how this hasn’t been fixed yet. Get on it, Apple.

iOS 18 22A5307i, iPhone 14 No issues with wireless CarPlay on iOS general release 17x or 17 Beta Wireless CarPlay not working (since upgrade to 18 Beta) USB CarPlay working OK Removed device from my car and iPhone Changed name of my iPhone Powered phone off and on Paired Bluetooth again, both devices asked to use CarPlay. Agreed! Car says connection failed. iPhone shows connected Bluetooth to my Honda (2024) CarPlay is enabled/allowed in Screentime Settings

Removed and paired multiple times. Multiple scenarios. Car off, car on accessories, car in park, car in drive. driving.

Disabled car play, enabled car play, left phone at default bluetooth settings, changed to device type of car stereo. disabled carplay, enabled car play in bluetooth device and screentime settings.

I continue to search google for a solution (in vain).

It’s not just you. I’m having the same issues. To me, the maps are more unstable than anything. I can’t even put in an address without it crashing. it seems to do this after you have been driving for a while. I’ve tried restarting the phone, tried restarting my car, even disconnected and reconnected to the car. Nothing. If its anything you could fix, please fix this. This has been a major headache with this beta and giving the rest of these comments, it seems that others concur. Please fix asap.

If you want to use Waze on CarPlay to keep Waze open on the phone with the screen unlock

Same exact issue. I get it with Waze and Google Maps. As soon As you close the screen the app closes on CarPlay within 10 seconds. Both apps react exactly the same. Screen then goes blank until you reopen the app on your phone. Apple Maps works fine (but it’s terrible) Also noticed ny iPhone 15 pro max runs super hot when running Waze or GMaps. Maybe this is Apple‘s way of forcing users to use their platform.

Same here. Can’t send messages or make calls via CarPlay. System is slow and freezing.

iOs 18 beta allowed us to require faceid for phone and messages so if you enabled it on the phone it won't show up on Carplay. Disable require faceid on the phone and message app and restart your phone, it will reappear on Carplay.

This fix worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/1dpwjlc/ios_18_db2_carplay_missing_from_settings/

Same issue here. iPhone 15 Pro - 2022 Mazda CX5. Wireless carplay doesn’t reconnect. Removed device from car and car from bluetooth device list. Repaired and works wirelessly. Turn car off and back on, doesn‘t reconnect. Connect via usb-c cable and carplay connects. Then strangely unplugging usb-c carplay stays connected. However when car is switched off again, reconnecting doesn’t work. It’s driving me nuts!

Having same issue. Even with the most recent update today. Not only is it saying the same thing as you mentioned, I cannot even see the messages app in CarPlay.

I got same issues after beta 3. Carplay crashes, music is not working. Also Yandex Maps, Google Maps, 2GIS crashes CarPlay and my route disappeares
