Can’t hear Siri through Car Speakers

I have this same problem and it is only when it is connected in the car. I have an iPhone 11 Pro. This only started happening with this phone and iOS 13. I did notice though that when siri is responding there is a little bluetooth icon in the lower right. If I tap that a menu comes up and shows my phone and then my car listed twice. One of my car listings has a checkmark so if I choose the other car listing I then hear siri through my car speakers. But it doesn't stay on that one so the next time I use siri I hear nothing. Also, if i go into settings > bluetooth my car is only listed once.

I may try disconnecting my car from bluetooth and connecting again and see if it solves it.

UPDATE**********apple helped me fix this issue!

I has to reset my phone as a new phone. Apple talked me through it I wouldn’t suggest doing it on your own because certain options they made me choose I may have not known to do so. It was not set up from an iCloud backup because according to Apple there was something corrupt in the iOS system that was on my last backup. We did it while my phone was plugged into an computer and connected to iTunes then Apple screen shared with me to show me how to do it.

I also would like to point out that before doing this I tried multiple other phones in the car and they all worked perfectly with Apple CarPlay which is how I knew it was my phone.

It works perfectly now let’s just hope it doesn’t happen again!! GOOD LUCK!

The only workaround I've found it to hold the right side button down to wake up Siri, which will then work through the car's sound system. Defeats the whole point of "hands free" though but easy enough to invoke without taking your eyes off the road. Nothing yet from Apple's developers to fix this simple, but frustrating, issue.

Hey, my Siri was no longer set up after the update, and I had to do the whole "hey, Siri" thing over again. See if that works for you.

Apple is very aware of this issue, and has been since September. Wish I'd researched the threads before buying the iPhone 11 Pro. Static in my car while on Bluetooth, and Siri cannot be heard through the car speakers unless it is for Directions via Maps. Visited the Apple Store 6 times, they replaced the handset 2 times, and then told me not to come back!!! Told me to speak with AppleCare via the 800 number.

In the past 7 days, I've spoken with AppleCare 4 times, recorded and sent logs twice. Each time, I've been told to sit tight and let the developers look into this problem Apple pretends not to know about. Each tech tells me they will call me back within 24-48 hours, and they never have.

Today, I asked for a new handset and to reset the warranty clock to zero bc my new phone does not function as marketed. One tech said, "ok" but let's wait for the technicians to reply first. Subsequent techs told me they will no longer replace the handset, and that I must sit and wait for an update from Apple. Frustrating!

Not holding my breath on a fix from Apple anytime soon. Online searches show this problem popping up in online forums right after the iPhone 11 launch. BTW, have a friend with an iPhone 11 (not Pro like) and his acts the same way with our BMW 3 Series and our Honda Odyssey, two pretty ubiquitous vehicles.

Poor execution, customer service and customer service messaging (just wait for us, tick-tock runs the warranty clock)...am about to put the 11 Pro back in a drawer and use my iPhone X. May even just take the loss and dump the 11 Pro on Ebay out of frustration. Nice camera and better battery, but total fail at its primary functions of vehicle phone and text platform.

Hey, everyone. I went into the Apple store and spoke with someone about the issue. He wasn't a tech, but he says it's not something anyone can "fix." It will have to be addressed in one of the new OS releases. So—we'll all just have to wait.

Same issue here, I ask Siri to send a text when my phone is connected to Bluetooth in my Toyota Highlander, she listens and does the command, but I can’t hear her voice response back letting me know when to say send, etc, what happened?...on iOS 13.2.3 on iPhone 11 Pro Max, thanks.

I got the iPhone 11 last week and have the same issue.

Anyone get this working? It’s happening to me and really frustrating!

Ditto here. Holding down right button enables Siri audio through Bluetooth only once and only for that single activation of Siri. This is a real deficit of my new iPhone 11. Sad.

I have the same issue. iPhone 10 max Siri worked fine in my Nissan Murano. iPhone 11 Pro Max I cant hear Siri.

Hey Apple please look into this. Are we all doing something wrong or is there an issue?

This is happening to me as well and I’m beyond frustrated my car (2019 Mazda cx9)is 3 weeks old my phone is XR it was working fine and then out of no where I can’t hear Siri- but only when she is reading texts to me all other CarPlay features work. I tried a friends phone and everything works fine it HAS to be a setting on my phone that somehow got changed but I can’t figure it out PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I spent an hour on the phone with Apple. I showed them this thread. They were supposed to install a diagnostic software, but no one called me back.

They know now that it’s a common problem. I showed them this thread.

When I can get my 11 to connect to the car’s BlueTooth, by manually pressing the side button, Siri’s voice is staticky and unclear. My last iPhone worked seamlessly and was crystal clear in the same car. U done messed up, Apple.
