I have been using Maps via Apple CarPlay on my Suburu Forrester for over a year. All of a sudden, today, it stopped giving voice commands, although I still get them through the phone when CarPlay is not connected.

Maps on Apple CarPlay, Subaru Forester, just stopped giving voice navigation. I've been using it for over a year with no problem. I still get the voice navigation on the phone when it's not connected to Apple CarPlay and I've checked all of the voice settings. Music, phone, etc, all come through fine. I can tell when a voice command should be audible because the music mutes and then resumes normal volume, just it used to so you could year the navigation directions. any suggestions? I'm not aware of any software updates in the last few days.

Hello jeangedettis,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to get voice navigation when using your iPhone with the car stereo in your Subaru. To help with this, please see the steps in the section titled "Follow turn-by-turn directions" in this Apple resource to change how turn-by-turn directions are given and make sure it's not set to mute:

If you are still having issues, please see this Apple resource on CarPlay, and also contact Subaru to see if there are any updates for your stereo:

Cheers!
