Siri stopped reading texts on CarPlay.

I saw another thread on this from March, but no answer to it. Lots of other people were having the same problem, so hoping a fix has been figured out now!


My CarPlay works for receiving and making phone calls (as long as I don’t need to ask Siri to dial), and Siri reads directions on Maps just fine. But she stopped reading and letting me dictate texts. It shows on the screen like she’s talking or listening, but there is no sound.

Troubleshooting CarPlay and Updates:

What to do...

A. Check for Firmware Updates:

If you've just updated your iPhone and this occurred, then it's the update giving you the issue here. The manufacturer (of the radio) likely has yet to do their part in making this compatible. See if there Is a way to update the radio's firmware. On Apple's end, leave them feedback on this, letting them know what has occurred....


B. Give Apple Feedback:

Do your Part: Provide Apple with feedback on this, letting them know about this issue.  Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come.

  1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that this all began after installing an update. Include the URL of this post
  4. Proceed from there as necessary
