When using CarPlay and Siri was activated it used to do the ding sound and completely mute the music.
However on my new vehicle it instead says “uh-huh” and lowers the volume of the music. Problem is, I can’t hear Siri now as it doesn’t talk loud enough over the music (when reading messages etc).
Is there a way to turn off the “uh-huh” functionality and have it go back to completely muting music that is being played when it is called?
Thanks
iPhone 13
Hey WazBrown,
The 'uh-huh' functionality is part of the iOS and this can't be disabled. It's one of the Siri features. We recommend that you check out these steps below and see if it helps:
1. Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:
If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.
If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled under Settings > Wi-Fi and Settings > Bluetooth.
2. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.
3. Restart your iPhone and your car.
4. Make sure that Siri is on.
5. If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
6. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
7. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.
