Strange CarPlay bugs after upgrading to iOS v18.4

[Kugs10]

The iOS 18.4 upgrade came out a few days ago. Since that time, a strange bug has emerged. While using CarPlay It has started replying to text messages without waiting for me to say I want to reply. It will say “do you want to reply to Bob?” and then immediately say “what do you want to say to bob?” without allowing me to say "yes" or "no" first. I’m using it on a 2025 AT fully updated to the latest version. I can't find anything online about this particular problem, but I have found several other 18.4 related bugs.

I have gone through all settings on my iPhone and it is not set to "auto respond" or any other such setting.

Anyone else having this problem?

I did hear recently that there are numerous CarPlay issues with iOS 18.4. Enough so that the article I saw recommended not upgrading until they patch it (for those who use CarPlay). I would imagine the issues should be gone by 18.4.1, so keep your eye out for that.

I’m curious whether the Lucid display is big enough to accommodate the new option of three rows of app icons… that seems like the biggest enhancement of CarPlay in this update.

I have updated - it does not show 3 rows of icons. Neither does my wife's Genesis GV70. Apparently you need a 12"+ screen to get 3 rows of icons.

I stopped using Car Play for now after 18.4. I can hear callers but they cannot hear me.
