Glitchy bluetooth in my car (iPhone 11)

I recently got the iPhone 11 and then subsequently I installed ios 13.1.2. Now my phone is not successfully pairing with my car (2016 Subaru Forester). My music will play through my car speakers just fine, and I can hear Siri through them as well when using Maps, BUT only some of my friends names/photos are showing on the Subaru's contact screen (at one point they all showed correctly) and worse, I can't hear Siri through my car speakers when I use the "hey Siri" mode. I have tried restarting the phone, including a hard restart. I have un-paired the phone with the car's bluetooth and re-paired it. That did not help.


Any suggestions?

Same issue for me, can’t hear Siri over car speakers but other audio seems to be working okay. Some people have had success with 13.1.3 but not all. Didn’t help me. Resolution will eventually come, most likely in the form of another update when issue is finally identified and resolved.


In the meantime, take comfort in the knowledge that you have lots of company. Follow this large thread for a lot more details and insight into progress.

Best of luck that you get it resolved soon!

Sorry to hear you are still struggling with it. I am having the same "silent Siri" issue when on my car BT, but otherwise acceptable. I continue to follow that other thread and it still seems like a mixed bag of results. Some are resolved, others are not.


If you haven't already, I would start a conversation with Apple Support and see if they have learned anything new that may help you get it resolved.


I did see some promising reports regarding the future beta versions but that doesn't help either of us now.


Good luck!
