Carplay issues with iOS 26

[gskowronek]

In iOS 26 carplay is pretty much unusable on UC5, somehow "Edit Pages" comes up and covers bottom of the screen, so it can't be used.
@RamCares please take a look.

When I plug my phone into USB to charge CarPlay goes all goofy. Just started that recently. Wireless it works just fine but has a hard time connecting at times especially if I just disconnected from the cable.

There are times where the screen will flash up and down and the bottom menu keys disappear. I do a soft reset holding the power button in and nothing changes. Usually after turning the truck off and starting up again it will correct itself.

This all started after the last uConnect update. Pretty annoyed that they still can’t get this crap straightened out on UC5 after this many years. Previously I had the 8.4 screens for almost 10 years and had ZERO issues.

If you have iOS 26, that is in beta stage. 18.5 is the current iOS software.

Having the same issue in my ‘22 1500. Uconnect 5 build: FCA-MY24.U35.26-PROD. iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 26 public beta 1.

The temporary workaround I found is to use CarPlay in split screen mode, then it’s usable. But I would love to have full screen CarPlay back.

That’s exactly why we test betas

Exactly, those of us testing the beta are catching & reporting these bugs early so hopefully there’ll be a fix for Uconnect before iOS 26 is officially released.

I can also confirm that it’s most likely an issue with Uconnect & not iOS as CarPlay works as expected in my wife’s Mazda.

For sure UC issue

Wonder how it behaves on 2025 14" screen
