No Siri audio over Bluetooth.

On my 2014 Toyota Camry with my iPhone 11.

Siri’s voice will work for map directions. I also have Bluetooth audio for playing music or on a phone call.

However any interaction via “hey Siri” will fail to provide any audio. I can see she is summoned on screen. However she doesn’t listen or speak.

What I have noticed is if I tap the Bluetooth icon in the bottom right when Siri is on screen, I will see two entries for my car audio. When I select the other duplicate entry she will work for that single Siri session (i can then press the Siri icon and continue the conversation). If I dismiss her and then use Hey Siri again, she will be silent.

This occurs on iOS 13.0 to 13.1.3. It doesn’t affect my iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 12.

I have factory reset my iPhone 11 and deleted the Bluetooth pair and re-paired. Same issue.

This appears to be a bug with iOS 13 or the iPhone 11.

Other users have posted here with the same issue but not just for car audio but for external Bluetooth speakers.

Fixed the TXT MSG on the car‘s phone interface screen being grayed out. Had to turn on “Show Notifications” on the Bluetooth connection for the car.

unfortunately that did not solve this problem.

Does anyone know if this was actually reported to Apple?

Any updates on this?

Same issue, new iphone 11 pro, Mazda 3. Old iphone 8 was never a problem. Can't have this issue in car in Australia, can't touch phone!

Not sure what that means “public beta” is that the latest update fixed the problem? The problem still exists for me. The latest update on my phone is 13.3 is there another one out?

Thanks for response. I haven’t tried. Can’t touch phone while driving. Big fines now

Thanks, do you think it worthwhile signing up for the public beta or basically the next update will fix and shouldn’t be to far away?

it did not take much effort to sign up however you are taking the chance of bugs in the beta version.
