After the ios 18 beta 2 update, when listening to music in carplay, the sound quality is very bad and I can't turn down the volume of the music. it acts like a voice assistant instead of music. when turning the volume down and up, it's like adjusting the volume of the voice assistant when it should turn up the volume of the music. So instead of music, it acts like the voice assistant is activated.
This issue has been present from beta 1 . music stuttering , it comes and goes as it pleases , only way to fix is restart iOS . I’ll try the assistant To see if that temporarily fixe: the issue .
same here. honda accord XM radio becomes enabled when my iphone connects to carplay
I am experiencing this same issue on my 2024 Honda Ridgeline BE and iOS 18 Beta 4 re-release.
We really need a fix for this. In my experience, ever since iOS 18 Developer Beta 1, only after making a phone call, the audio in wireless car play on my BMW 3 series is extremely choppy. I have to disconnect and reconnect the phone from my BMW menu to fix it.
There is a serious problem with iOS 18 and CarPlay that Apple has not addressed yet
I have had the sage issue with ever beta since ios16. Resetting my cars infotainment system seems to fix it. Unsure about other cars, but if I reset my Mazda system by holding the music button, nav, and volume button (mute), for 15-20 seconds, it works again after the recor reboot
Same issue with public iOS 18
iPhone connected to CarPlay gives sound like mono or something through car dynamics and without any method to change loudness. it doesn’t work both on iPhone or car audio system. Just same stable level on music with disgusting sound
sometimes the sound goes through iPhone itself regardless it shows CarPlay connectivity and CarPlay as sound speaker
some manipulations give an unstable result but even if it plays well, couple of minutes later the bad stuff start again
it should be fixed, I can’t use CarPlay now because of that very unstable
try to turn off vocal/voice shortcut. fixed for me
Same issue here. very annoying. Couldn't use maps and music together as wireless carplay doesn't allow to use google maps. Please fix this asap
My wife’s phone has encountered this issue with her upgrade to iOS 18 (non-beta).
Mucis acts as if it’s in a phone call (volume cant be turned all the way down and only front speakers pipe music): the phone‘s volume doesn’t show the standard CarPlay icon; and at times music only plays out of the phone whilst controlling play/pause on the car. As some here reported, playing on the phone sometimes resolves on its own after a few minutes of it being connected.
it seems that the audio handoff to CarPlay isn’t happening or when it happens it’s identifying it incorrectly as a phone call/notification. 2019 Chevy Traverse, iPhone 15
I have the same problem. I’m new to iOS, and this seems like a major bug. How long could it take Apple to fix it? CarPlay is unusable like this.
I've got the solution: you have to turn off sound recognition (voice shortcuts) in Accessiblity menu.
Quickest fix I have for this is going to sound and haptics, pesonalized special audio, hitting setup and backing out immediately before you do anything. Stereo playback returns. Though doing voice memos while driving is now impossible without it switching to mono.
Car Play on BMW will work fine as long as the screen is locked once you open your phone, you will receive the distorted sound quality. I have tried everything and this is the only way I can get the apple music to play without being distorted
My audio does not come in as clear after receiving a text message or a phone call on my Apple CarPlay when connected to my truck stereo hardwire
