I have tried on another iPhone that doesn’t have any Beta Version on it and it works perfectl.

It looks like this issue has been caused via Beta versions being installed. Hopefully the developers at Apple are looking into this and sorting out a fix. The latest beta version also prevents contacts from being downloaded to the vehicle so the hands free side of things is useless as well.

Hi Sagem you’re right about car play. just tried it and Siri doesn’t respond at all. lets hope the get this sorted Soon.

Neither the Suzuki nor the Skoda have connected 100% properly since I installed iOS 18. My phone has always connected to both cars no problem at all and Car Play has been available Now the phone will not connect to the Skoda but will to the Suzuki. I thought the forum was the place to go for help and advice but I’ll look to post this comment elsewhere and stop installing Beta versions.
