Siri not working with CarPlay I'm using iOS 16 on an iPhone 13 mini in a 2021 BMW X3 and my Siri in CarPlay is not finding any of simple requests (directions to locations, playing a requested music choice etc) Does anyone know a fix...other that restarting everything...which I've done numerous times?!

Hello,

Go to Settings > Siri & Search > Allow Siri When Locked. Make sure that it is on.
