Overview
- iOS 18.4 has introduced major CarPlay issues, including frequent disconnections, unstable wireless connections, and missing 'Now Playing' data on instrument clusters.
- The problems affect a wide range of vehicles, including models from Honda, Mazda, Audi, Ford, Volkswagen, and Nissan.
- Users report that standard troubleshooting steps, such as re-pairing devices and rebooting phones or cars, have not resolved the issues.
- Volkswagen customer service has acknowledged the issue but attributed the responsibility for a fix to Apple, which has not publicly commented on the matter.
- iOS 18.5, currently in beta testing, may include a resolution for these issues, though its release is not expected until next month.
