Apple car play volume text messages

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 17. When my phone is connected to Apple CarPlay and I listen to a text message through my car speakers, I can barely hear Siri reading the message. I have adjusted the volume in the car as well as on my phone yet the sound is too low. Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?

When listening to music on Apple Car Play on my iPhone 14 pro and a message comes in, the music doesn't mute and keeps playing, at a slightly lower level, while Siri dictates the message. When listening to music on Apple Car Play on my iPhone 14 pro and a message comes in, the music doesn't mute and keeps playing, at a slightly lower level, while Siri dictates the message. The message volume is barely above the radio volume. I'm on 16.2, the Toyota head unit it up to date, I've removed CarPlay from the vehicle, I've reset the head unit, hard reset the phone, etc.... I've also tried this on an iPhone 11 with iOS 16.2 I spoke with Toyota and they don't have an answer. My wife's BMW mutes for all Siri dictation of messages, so I assume that's the standard procedure.

music does not get muted when listening to text messages while using carplay I have an SE 2020 model running 18.2.1, carplay will not mute the sound source (radio, music from my phone's music app) when dictating texts that I have received, it won't mute the sound source when the navigator is giving me directions, it will mute the sound source when I initiate a phone call. I have a 2025 Toyota RAV4, with wireless carplay. I have discussed this with Toyota and they are pointing the finger at Apple, big surprise!. I'm skeptical because my phone worked with car play re muting audio sources during siri interactions in my old car (not a toyota) all the way through version 18.2. How can I absolutely confirm that this is a toyota software problem?

iPhone 15 pro max volume low connected to my car through Bluetooth When I connected my iPhone 13 pro Max to my car via Bluetooth, the volume was great now I’ve got a new iPhone 15 pro Max. The volume is really low and I can’t hear conversations on the phone. Can you tell me why but if I connect my iPhone 15 pro Max via USB CarPlay, the volume is fine
