CarPlay music switches to Voice control when near home and only when near home

So I use CarPlay to play all my music in my 2021 Porsche Macan. There is a strange issue that has been plaguing me for months and is only triggered when my iPhone gets near my home. It happens with all music apps (Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal). The CarPlay system switches the the audio to Voice Control (music is lower quality, sounds almost mono) as if I am playing music in a call. It is only triggered when I am near my home. So it happens when I am leaving my home and goes away after about a minute. It also happens when I am getting near home (triggers as the same intersection before my apartment complex every single time). I can’t for the life of me figure out what is causing it. I was thinking it might be one of of the Home automations to turn on my lights when near home, but I turned those off and it still happens. I have a feeling it must be triggered by one of the smart home functions. I have smart locks, outlets, lights and switches. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Salutations applesplorer665, 


Great isolating so far. It’s helpful when you can start pinpointing where an issue begins. Are you close enough to connect to your home Wi-Fi at the intersection this begins at? Or, have you tried turning off Wi-Fi in Settings and testing? 


Would it be fair to say that you’re streaming music using these services and if so, are you able to test with downloaded music? 


Lastly, you mentioned Voice Control is in use. Use Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Can we turn that off from Settings > Accessibility and test? 


Thanks.
