The Mississippi man did not enter a plea, or even speak at all, the New York Post reports.
He is alleged by prosecutors to have harassed Aniston with voicemails, emails and social media messages over two years.
Prosecutors say this bombardment of harassment led to him driving into the gates of her home.
Aniston was home when Carwyle allegedly crashed his Chrysler PT Cruiser through her Bel Air house gates, cops say.

He was stopped by a security guard before police showed up and arrested him.
No one was injured in the shocking crash.
What happaned?
The shocking crash at the Friends’ star’s house happened on Monday afternoon – when the star was at home.
A vehicle is reported to have crashed through the gates of her Bel Air mansion in the stunning incident.
Prosecutors say the collision caused major damage.
LA Police Department says, a security guard stopped a man on the driveway before cops showed up to arrest him.
Aniston herself is yet to comment on the incident.
“You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions,” the judge has said.
The judge reportedly doubted whether Carwyle would understand him when the prosecutor requested this order.
Carwyle’s lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Toral Malik, said: “I don’t believe him staying away from Ms Aniston will be an issue at this time.”
However, the judge’s order was issued nonetheless at the prosecutor’s insistence.
If he is convicted, Carwyle could face up to three years behind bars.
However, a mental health court will first work out if he is fit to stand trial.
He also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm.
Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said: “Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions, threatening the safety of victims and our communities.
“My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorise others, ensuring they are held accountable.”
Aniston is best known for her Emmy-winning role in the classic sitcom Friends.
The star bought her mansion for about £16 million in 2012, according Architectural Digest reporting.
She currently appears in The Morning Show on Apple TV+, and has been nominated for multiple Emmy awards over the years.
