Pushed the IOS 18 update to my 14 Pro Max overnight and this morning found the CarPlay connection almost instant when I turned on the car.

Given how slow CarPlay has been on my last 2 992s and Taycan this is a welcome development.

Hope that is the case. I have a new Macan as a loaner and noticed it was very fast, which I put down to the Android PCM, but maybe iOS 18 also is a factor.

i noticed that CarPlay connection is established immediately. But not always - sometimes it takes more time.

After the IOS 18 update, the PCM asked me to re-pair bluetooth to my Iphone...but, other than that, operation seems "normal"

Even Bluetooth transfer when getting into the car is faster with iOS 18. I always had a 5 second delay of audio when switching. It’s now about 1/2 a second.

Exiting is the same instantaneous experience.

I cant say I've noticed a difference other than the fact the bar beneath the track name showing how far through the song you are is much longer in IOS18 ?

Ironically, iOS is now faster at loading than Sirius is for me. So there's that...

I was using wired CarPlay with a 13 Pro and it would connect on first plugin about 90% of the time. When I ran iOS 18 public beta, the connection would be very sporadic--sometimes CarPlay wouldn't start until the 5th try.

Using 16 Pro now and CarPlay starts instantly on plugin.

3 days ago I got an IPhone 16 Pro Max w/IOS 18 and CarPlay wirelessly connects really fast now on my 2023 Taycan. Must say I’m duly impressed!

MyPorsche App disappeared from my CarPlay after iOS18. Cant select it on the CarPlay settings on the phone either.
