Why is car play volume so low?

How do I fix the volume issue with car play? Music has to played at 85% and navigation, forget about it, I can’t hear Siri at all.

I had this same issue with my CarPlay. When using CarPlay you need to use the car's audio adjustment system to change the volume of the music and voice assistant. First play some music and adjust the volume accordingly and then ask Siri something which she will respond verbally to such as "hey Siri, what's the weather?". If you don't hear Siri respond then try again and turn the volume up at the same time that you should hear Siri. This is something weird I've found with CarPlay where the audio volume is adjusted separately to Siri volume which means if you turn the volume down while Siri is talking the music will resume at the same volume it was previously.


I hope this helps. Feel free to respond to this if you run into any issues.
