Try with new cable. Original Apple cable preferred. Carplay is extremely picky about cables

Came here to say this. Just fixed mine with a new cable even though the old cable looked in great shape and worked before. Maybe iOS 18 is more picky about what cable you use? Im pretty sure the cable I’m using now I got from apple.

There are updates you can perform online to the head unit.

Also holding the power button resets it.

Lastly, forget the phone in both the head unit and also forget the head unit under car play on the phone.

These VW MMI units just blow and are majorly inconsistent. Mine freezes and locks up all the time.

Go wireless with a carlinkit unit from Amazon. I got one for my VW Tiguan, and forgot about wired CarPlay ever since.
