Good day. I'm not sure what happend but when I plug my iphone 14 with the most current IOS into my car the text message app no longer appears. It is on the phone, I don't think I've changed any settings. All the other apps work. I have hard reset the phone, reset CarPlay, forgotten the iphone and then added it again. Any advice would ge grateful.

Does your iPhone connect to your car? In iPhone Bluetooth in Settings?

This Apple Community site gives some suggestions.

I don't have such an eye device or used car play but the OP's problem seems to have been around for quite some time including the latest updates according to the numerous hits with this Google Search:

I didn't see a definitive fix for the problem.

Do you see the the other built-in apps in the Customize list, like Phone, Calendar and so on? It's odd that Messages doesn't show up in the list. What version iOS are you running?
