CarPlay/Android Auto can be VERY picky about the USB cable that you use. Try the OEM usb cable (one that is fairly new and has not been sharply bent, stepped on, etc.) or as short as possible of a HIGH quality aftermarket cable and see if anything changes.
There are a lot of threads complaining about issues with the factory AA/CarPlay head units in Subarus beginning back when they first appeared in the Impreza and apparently they are still pretty buggy for a lot of people to this day. Make sure that the HU and iPhone are both using the latest firmware.
Regarding the BU camera not working... does it switch to a black screen on reverse or just do nothing at all? That might help narrow down what kind of issue is occurring.

Tried different cables on car play no luck. Splash screen will pop up for you to accept then goes away prior to being able to click it. The 2018 USB port in the car is different was going to try to get that.
Back up camera does nothing at all.
Have not given up on getting this working and think all the issues are easy fixes just more difficult if I can not get the specific diagrams to see what the changes are. The connector that handles the steering controls, back up, ECT is the same not sure why they would change the pin out. The 2018 radio is a different manufacturer. Harman out of Mexico instead of Clarion.
