IOS 15 carplay voice input issue

I just upgraded to 15.2.1 and the problem with my 2022 BMW and voice commands to Google Maps persists.

15.2.1

Voice search issue still exists after testing again today in BMW.

it does seem to work on the second attempt, which is as it was before.

I have the same issue on My wireless CarPlay (BMW X5 F15 and GLE 2019)after update to iOS 15 +two updates. Voice commands are not working in Google and Waze map apps. Moreover I need reboot Waze every first time after enter destination, only after reboot app GPS tracking starts work. Please fix it, all me friends have some issue, this is not acceptable for Apple.

I have a 2020 BMW i3 and I have exactly the same issue a while back. Probably after updating to iOS 15. The google map voice control works perfectly fine on my iPhone but just could not hear anything when triggered from the CarPlay. It is so annoying since I prefer google map as primary gps app.

Same for me with a XS. Google Maps shows that can not hear me immediately when I tap on the mic button. It worked properly before iOS 15, now it is more than irritating that after 15th try still can not understand me. And it is also unsafe.

I have had this problem too. 2019 Chevy Blazer. Apple is no help. Went through resetting phone and all that. They told me to get a new radio for my car because that is likely the problem. I just updated to iOS 15.1.1 but I am not confident that will fix anything.

I am so happy that I am not not the only one going crazy over this! I reached out to Apple 2 times and they told me to contact Google Maps. I also drive a BMW and am using the most up to date version of 15.1!! How could we get into contact with Google? I do not know how. : (

I have the same problem. I have an Apple iPhone 11 ProMax. I have a 2019 BMW X5, and use CarPlay. After v15.1 was loaded on my phone, the microphone feature on the car stopped working. The microphone seems broken on both CarPlay and the system that came with th vehicle. I was on the support line for over an hour, and we tried everything apple support suggested in the generic service bulletin this thread.

Rest assure that after this, I will disable automatic os update, and make a full backup with the iTunes app before updating iOS.

Yes I too have the 15.2 as of today and actually it seems even worse! Satellite map view doesnt seem to show even now unless the Google maps is open on the iPhone screen and the speech search still doesn't work either!! CRAP!!!

I’ve been experiencing the same issue since updating to iOS 15. Currently on iOS 15.1 and Google Maps 5.87. Will update to 15.2 and 5.88 shortly but I don’t have much confidence that will resolve the issue. Car is a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.

Went out again in the BMW (4 series 2017) and this time voice search worked first time and every time after that when I input a new location. Looking good so far!

Will report back over the next week after also trying the VW Camper which is fitted with a Kenwood apple carplay head unit.

This may be a Capt. Obvious, but it's therapy for me. So here

goes...When in my 2021 Chevy Silverado, iPhone 8+ (Vers iOS 15.2.1), wireless

connection, iPhone off, Apple CarPlay (iOS update 15.2.1)/Google Maps (Vers

6.1.3) selected, when I push the Search Microphone.....I usually get the

onscreen "Can't Hear You" notice.

I also notice there is no Orange Dot showing up on the the

left side of the screen. It usually takes quite a few attempts to

"Cancel" and retry the Search/Microphone button before I am able to

see the Orange Dot (telling me the Microphone is listening). When I do get the

Orange Dot, the Search Works Every Time!

I've done all the recommended, Turn On/Off USB, Reload Google

Maps, etc...Apple Maps hears me just fine!

My Question is this;

Why the Intermittent Orange Dot (Microphone is

listening)?...Is it an Apple or Google thing?...And When will it be fixed?

Maybe they are short of cash! Five goes to post this as it kept telling me my session had timed out even though I logged in and posted straight away! I just can't see why these bugs slip through the net also is it an apple problem or a Google problem no one seems to know?

15.4 is on beta testing.

but I guess that they are more concerned by woke people and making “pregnant daddy emoji” than making everyday stuff work….

Hello everyone,

I too am experiencing the problem - I updated from 13.6.1 to 15.3.1 - I purposely waited so long because of all the problems reported (Forbes.com).

I've now got multiple issues that are "intermittent". I've got an iPhone 8 and a Chevy Cruz 2018. When I press the "voice button" on the car console to make a phone call (i.e. Call Home), Siri hesitates and then says "there seems to be a problem, please try again" - well you know that never works out despite repeated attempts.

Also, using voice commands from the Gmap mic icon on carplay doesn't work at all. (Yes, I've got Siri voice enabled).

*The worst bummer is I no longer get the "turn by turn" audio instructions while driving - but I DO get a "BOOP" sound (which I found is the indication that there is an instruction or turn coming up - but for some reason is not able to be played).

My mom is in the hospital (I know, not relevant), so I have not been able to "fully" experiment with all the suggestions - but toggling on/off the bluetooth options (from within the Google Maps app>settings>Navigation>play voice over Bluetooth and Play as Bluetooth call) didn't make any difference.

Perhaps most frustrating is that those turn by turn instructions can "suddenly start working" while driving. I was coming home from the hospital and getting only the "BOOP" tone before turns, then as I near my home, the voice suddenly started working, "turn left in 100 feet" - and it continued to work right up to me pulling up to my garage.

Needless to say, like all of you folks, not having audio instructions is a nightmare. And why both voice calling and Gmaps voice commands are "intermittent" without any re-producable settings/changes is upsetting, to say the least.

If anyone could comment or help me, I would be very grateful. Thanks to all. (my first post to the forum in case you haven't guessed-lol).
